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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two sides could not be coming into this weekend\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collingwood will be bolstered by a strong group of Oakleigh Chargers players, including Emma Stark<\/a> and Sarah Poustie<\/a>. North for its part has only made the one change, bringing back Tricia Cowan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Much like the two sides in the earlier game, these two are also coming off remarkably different results last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are also very close to each other on the ladder \u2013 with only half a game separating the pair \u2013 and with so many teams on their tails on the ladder, a slip up here would not be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Port Melbourne do welcome back Nayeley Borg<\/a> this week but do lose Meg Buchanan<\/strong>, while the Bombers gain back the likes of Olivia Manfre<\/a> and Ava Jordan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlton has made three changes, including bringing in Isabella Caminiti<\/a> from the Northern Knights, while Grace Matser<\/a> and Mietta Kendall<\/a> are two of five inclusions for the Hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bulldogs have been building an impressive game together in recent weeks, and might just be one of the teams to watch this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bulldogs have only made the two changes, bringing in Jorja Livingstone<\/a> and London Ashcroft<\/a>, while Zoe Barbakos<\/a> is one of four inclusions for the Saints this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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\u2019s performance with a second win in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Falcons have brought back Emma Mackay<\/a> and Paije Kearney<\/a>, while Casey has just brought back Olivia Morris<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The final match of the round sees two sides in very different situations square off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two sides have only made one change each, with Maddie Edwards<\/a> and Lily Jordan<\/a> the only ones coming in for their respective sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPort Melbourne vs Essendon
