Crows coach's shattered reaction to nasty knee injury
A terrible moment for Wayne Milera - and Matthew Nicks could barely look.
The draw for the 2018 AFL Women’s season has been announced, with a blockbuster grand final rematch between the Adelaide Crows and Brisbane Lions to headline the opening round.
As was the case last year, the season will begin with a clash between Carlton and Collingwood at Ikon Park, to be played on Friday, February 2. Last year’s fixture saw thousands of people locked out of the ground after a capacity crowd turned up to see the inaugural match of the competition.
Melbourne will start their season off a day later against the GWS Giants at Casey Fields before the Crows and Lions meet at Norwood Oval. Round 1 will conclude with a meeting between the Bulldogs and Dockers.
Round 2 will see the first ever game of Australian rules footy played at the new Perth Stadium when Fremantle go up against Collingwood. The match will be the only game of the season which fans will have to pay an admission fee to attend.
The grand final will be played on Saturday, March 24 at a yet-to-be-determined time and venue.
Which game are you most looking forward to?
