On the other hand, the Cats will be desperate to continue their form from last week\u2019s win against the Northern Territory (NT) Thunder. Both teams will be pulling out all the stops to secure a place in the Victorian Football League (VFL) Women\u2019s Grand Final next week and they have each made team changes to suit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>COLLINGWOOD v.
