Carlton and Collingwood are set to face off in Round 1 of the 2025 Australian Football League Women (AFLW) season at IKON Park.
Carlton had a very difficult and inconsistent 2024 home-and-away season as they failed to finish in the Top Eight and reach the Finals Series. They ended the with just four wins and seven losses and finished 14th on the AFLW ladder.
Collingwood, on the other hand, had a horrendous season in 2024 as they finished last with the AFLW Wooden Spoon. They managed just one victory from 11 clashes, which came against the SUNS in Round 5. They will be hoping to not extend their run of AFLW losses to six this week.
