IT IS the business end of the NAB AFL Women's competition and the race for finals is heating up.

THE RUN HOME Is the Crows' flag defence over?

Fremantle remained unbeaten after coming from behind against the Western Bulldogs on Sunday in an instant classic which had the highest aggregate score in AFLW history.

Greater Western Sydney then all but guaranteed a historic finals berth against Adelaide before Gold Coast won its clash against fellow expansion club West Coast. 

On Saturday, Carlton overran rivals Melbourne by 16 points at Traeger Park in Alice Springs to steal a crucial march in the race for finals.

The Blues held the Demons to just three behinds after half-time, moving to second place on the Conference B table.

Collingwood also proved its premiership credentials thanks to a 29-point demolition of Brisbane at Hickey Park.

FULL FIXTURE Every round, every game

The day's other game saw St Kilda keep fellow newcomers Richmond goalless, cruising to a 39-point victory at RSEA Park on the back of Caitlin Greiser's three majors.

On Friday night, North Melbourne showed its class against Geelong, which lost star Nina Morrison to her second ACL rupture.
