St Kilda and the Adelaide Crows are set to face off in Round 1 of the 2025 Australian Football League Women's (AFLW) season on Sunday afternoon at RSEA Park.
St Kilda had a wonderful start to their 2024 home-and-away as they kicked off with three straight wins, four in six games. However, they then suffered a run of four losses that relegated them to the fate of missing out on the Finals Series.
The Crows had a much better season comparatively last year as they managed to finish the home-and-away campaign placed fourth on the AFLW ladder. While they lost their qualifying final, they managed to win their semi-final, but fell short yet again in the preliminary final against the Brisbane Lions.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
