NORTH Melbourne Werribee's chances for a three-peat remain alive, but minor premier Williamstown stands in the way.

North Melbourne Werribee 12.5 (77) def. Collingwood 2.4 (16)

Back-to-back premier North Melbourne Werribee made easy work of its last two Grand Final opponents in the Pies to reach a third-straight decider.

The evenness of contribution across the board for the Roos was important, as Alana Barba (23 disposals), Ava Seton (21), Charlotte Ryan (21) and AFLW-listed Abby Favell (21) all got involved.

AFLW pair Maddison Torpey and Shauna McElligott each kicked a goal, with the former also recording 12 hitouts, while Irish recruit Sarah Wall finished with eight disposals and four intercept possessions.

Captain Renee Tierney and star forward Nyakoat Dojiok each kicked three goals in the big win.

Cross-code Collingwood recruit Olivia Lewis kicked one of the side's two goals in the loss, while also winning 11 hitouts, while Georgia Knight (four disposals) and Ellie Brady (eight disposals) had quiet days.

Williamstown 6.4 (40) def. Port Melbourne 5.8 (38)

Two strong challenges from Port Melbourne spelled concern for minor premier Williamstown, but Emily Eaves stepped up for the Seagulls to land them a maiden VFLW Grand Final appearance.

Eaves kicked the final quarter goal to put Williamstown back in front, a lead that was not again given up, while also winning 16 disposals and six clearances. She remains a top chance at Monday evening's Lambert-Pearce medal for the VFLW's best and fairest.

Former Geelong and Brisbane midfielder Bella Smith finished with 19 disposals and six tackles, while Jazmin Tweddle-O'Donnell helped fend off Port Melbourne's attack with 12 intercepts.

Kaitlyn O'Keefe was the star for Port Melbourne, with three goals from five scores, 12 disposals, and six tackles, leaving everything out there. 

The 2026 VFLW Grand Final will take place at Ikon Park on Sunday, September 20.
