Undefeated AFLW teams battle it out for top spot

The top two undefeated AFLW teams, Adelaide Crows and Brisbane Lions, clash this Saturday at Norwood Oval for an epic top spot decider three weeks out from the inaugural AFLW Grand Final.

The Crows and the Lions have both won four from four games in the 2017 AFLW season, but the strike rate will be over for one unlucky team. Last week, both teams won with clear margins as the Crows defeated the Dockers 46-23 and the Lions crushed the Giants 43-9.

In round 4, the Lions scored 13 times with six goals while the Crows scored 16 times, also with six goals. The kicking accuracy of both teams will need to be a main focus to come out victorious in what is sure to be one of the most exciting AFLW games yet.

Kate McCarthy and Kaitlyn Ashmore both kicked two goals for the Lions in round 4. McCarthy is tied third with Crows player Erin Phillips for leading goal kicker in the AFLW season, while Ashmore is improving week by week kicking her first goals last week.

Jason Bennett and Nigel Carmody will call the match with Daisy Pearce in expert commentary. Sam Lane and Alana Smith will take up field commentary bringing stories and insights from the coaches and players.

Seven will broadcast the AFLW Grand Final live and exclusive on Saturday March 25, the first weekend of the men’s competition.

Seven is the leading free-to-air sports broadcaster in Australia and will broadcast live coverage every Saturday night during the AFL women’s season throughout 2017, having been the first broadcaster to air women’s AFL back in 2015.
