As the first national women’s league draft approaches, on October 12, the game is a perfect hunting ground for scouts to get a last look at the women before the clubs decide on their rosters.
The eight inaugural clubs have already picked up two marquee signings each, but now wait for the draft to strengthen their sides for the opening 2017 campaign.
“It will be a chance to showcase women’s footy at the highest level; there are so many talented footballers playing this weekend and we can all come together and play a really great standard of football”, said Western Bulldogs midfielder Ellie Blackburn.
The rules for tonight’s clash have been altered a bit to open up the contest and create an exciting brand of footy to showcase the growing women’s game.
Each side will have a reduced 16 girls on the park with six on the interchange bench, while the balls being used a slightly smaller than regular footy’s.
