Last year's runners up – the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos are predicted to go one-better than last year and win the 2024 NAB AFLW Grand Final, according to the eighteen AFLW Captains who are gathering in Melbourne on Tuesday.

As all 18 club representatives make their way to Melbourne to officially launch the 2024 NAB AFLW Season, they were anonymously polled on five key questions on how they believe the season will unfold, with North Melbourne (nine votes), Brisbane Lions (eight votes) and Geelong Cats (one vote) drawing nominations for which other club apart from their own is most likely to push into this year's Grand Final.

Four-time Club Champion winner, Jasmine Garner (North Melbourne), was also tipped to be the stand-out player of the competition ahead of reigning MVP Monique Conti (Richmond), and Ebony Marinoff (Adelaide) to win this season's League Best and Fairest.
