HAWTHORN has swung a late change for its clash against Port Adelaide on Sunday evening, with star midfielder Jas Fleming withdrawn due to a hamstring issue.

Fleming has been replaced in the side by Mikaylah Antony, who will make her AFLW debut.

The Power will be looking to bank another win when they host the Hawks after the Glenn Strachan era got off to a strong start for the Power, locking away an important win on the road in round one over Fremantle. The Power were tough in the contest, defensively really well set and applied plenty of pressure around the ground. Ruck Matilda Scholz had a fascinating battle with Fremantle's Mim Strom, while the likes of Ash Woodland and Abbey Dowrick ran riot in the midfield.

Hawthorn's start to the 2026 season didn't go as planned for Daniel Webster's troops, falling to Melbourne in an intriguing match at Ikon Park. The Hawks were jumped early, conceding five goals in the opening stanza, before steadying in the second and third terms. But the Dees rediscovered their form from there, booting three unanswered goals in the last term to come away with the win. Ruck Lucy Wales dominated that night, while the attacking duo of Jac Dupuy and Aine McDonagh also worked really well in tandem.

After a strong showing in the AFLW season-opener, Carlton will be looking to make another statement when it faces Adelaide on Sunday evening.  

The Blues began their 2026 season in style, taking care of business against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium. They've had an extra week off now too, so should come into the clash against Adelaide fresh and ready to go. Captain Abbie McKay was enormous against the Saints, while Poppy Scholz also showed she's ready to take her game to the next level. Mimi Hill was busy as always and new recruit Claudia Whitfort also had a big impact in her first game for the club.

The Crows wouldn't have lost any admirers after a great battle against the Swans in round one. Captain Ebony Marinoff is a genuine star of the competition, while ex-Tiger Grace Egan and draftee Chloe Bown also impressed in their first outings in the tricolours. There's still plenty of talent for new coach Ryan Davis to work with as they enter a new era.
