Round 11, the final round of AFLW Season 9 is almost upon us! Our footy experts put their tips in for some huge clashes on the horizon.
Just like that the regular AFLW season is almost at an end, but not to worry -- there is still much more to come. With finals around the corner and the top eight still not finalised, it's do or die for a few teams and also a chance for others to build momentum.
Round 11 kicks off on Friday night when Geelong and Adelaide go head-to-head at GHMBA stadium. It's a must win for both teams, with the Cats still in the finals hunt and the Crows aiming to secure a top four berth.
On Saturday afternoon West Coast take on Sydney at Henson Oval. The Eagles will be looking to extend their record-breaking winning season, while the Swans will want to end the season on a high after a worse-than-anticipated year.
For a Sunday footy fix, Richmond host Hawthorn at the Swinburne Centre. In what looks to be the game of the round, can the Tiges bounce back from last week's draw? Will the Hawks finish their outstanding season with only one loss?
This weekend is set to be the biggest one yet! But don't worry the experts have your back.
