The NAB League Girls welcomes the Tasmania Devils into the fray for Round 7, and with only three home-and-away rounds remaining, the race for top-four spots is heating up.
Several finals contenders will be happy with the return of NAB AFL Women’s Academy members to their respective team line-ups this weekend, after an Academy squad faced off with the Geelong VFL Women’s team two weeks ago.
Top-four opponents the Calder Cannons (third on ladder) and Geelong Falcons (first) will meet this Saturday in a high-powered clash, with Calder captain Georgia Patrikios returning to lead her side and opposing skipper Lucy McEvoy in to take the reins of the undefeated Falcons.
The other current top-four teams will square off on Sunday, with the Bendigo Pioneers (fourth) hosting the Northern Knights (second). The Knights will benefit from the return of five AFLW Academy members, in Alyssa Bannan, Britney Gutknecht, Ellie McKenzie, Gabrielle Newton and Sarah Sansonetti.
Waiting in the wings are the fifth-placed Eastern Ranges, who are one of two opponents for Tasmania in Round 7. Eastern will be boosted by incoming AFLW Academy members Laura McClelland and Olivia Meagher for the match-up on Sunday, with the Devils also facing the Western Jets on Friday night.
Tasmania will again return to Victoria to play an invitational match against the home-and-away season’s fifth-placed finisher on NAB League Girls semi-final day (Saturday May 18).
