THERE is just over a month left of the VFLW season, but already there are some teams who really need to start thinking about the end game.

Collingwood vs North Melbourne
Tomorrow at 11am
Victoria Park

These two sides could not be coming into this weekend’s clash off more different results last weekend, with a well beaten Collingwood will be hosting a North Melbourne side who flexed their muscles last week.

Both of these sides will be desperately looking to pick up the win tomorrow though as they both sit essentially dead even on the ladder, only half a game outside finals.

Collingwood will be bolstered by a strong group of Oakleigh Chargers players, including Emma Stark and Sarah Poustie. North for its part has only made the one change, bringing back Tricia Cowan.

Port Melbourne vs Essendon
Tomorrow at 1:05pm
ETU Stadium

Much like the two sides in the earlier game, these two are also coming off remarkably different results last week.

They are also very close to each other on the ladder – with only half a game separating the pair – and with so many teams on their tails on the ladder, a slip up here would not be helpful.

Port Melbourne do welcome back Nayeley Borg this week but do lose Meg Buchanan, while the Bombers gain back the likes of Olivia Manfre and Ava Jordan.

Carlton vs Box Hill
Tomorrow at 2pm
Ikon Park

If either of these sides could have picked any side to play to help them break their recent run of inconsistencies, they might have just picked each other.

They have both been a little wobbly in recent weeks, and with the ladder as tight as it is right now, inconsistencies in performance could be disastrous.

Carlton has made three changes, including bringing in Isabella Caminiti from the Northern Knights, while Grace Matser and Mietta Kendall are two of five inclusions for the Hawks.

Western Bulldogs vs Southern Saints
Tomorrow at 3:30pm
Whitten Oval

After the way things went last week for the Southern Saints, the Bulldogs are probably one of the last sides they would have wanted to be playing this week.

The Bulldogs have been building an impressive game together in recent weeks, and might just be one of the teams to watch this season.

The Bulldogs have only made the two changes, bringing in Jorja Livingstone and London Ashcroft, while Zoe Barbakos is one of four inclusions for the Saints this week.

Darebin vs Casey
Sunday at 11:05am
Genis Steel Oval

Finally breaking their winless drought seems to have done the Darebin Falcons the world of good, as they are playing with a whole lot more freedom and confidence.

This week they have a Casey side to tackle that have been far from consistent in recent weeks, so would love nothing more than to back up last week’s performance with a second win in a row.

The Falcons have brought back Emma Mackay and Paije Kearney, while Casey has just brought back Olivia Morris.  

Williamstown vs Geelong
Sunday at 12pm
DSV Stadium

The final match of the round sees two sides in very different situations square off.

The Seagulls are absolutely flying at the moment take on a Geelong side desperately looking to get back on the winners list and stay in touch with those chasing a finals spot.

The two sides have only made one change each, with Maddie Edwards and Lily Jordan the only ones coming in for their respective sides.
