TALKING POINTS
Biggest AFLW challenge
Taking on Adelaide, in Adelaide. There is no tougher test in the competition and the Bulldogs can’t wait for the challenge. The Crows sit on top of the ladder as the only undefeated side in the competition after losing last year’s season decider to Brisbane. Can the Dogs knock off the best? Only time will tell.
Sun, sun & more sun
It is expected to hit 32 degrees during the clash at Norwood Oval, challenging players from both sides in tough conditions. The fitness of players post-COVID has been tested, but expect the Bulldogs to give everything during the away test.
Midfield stars set to shine
Kirsty Lamb has continued her exceptional form over a number of years in season 2022, coming off a 27-possession performance against Richmond. Ellie Blackburn is doing Ellie Blackburn things, while Brooke Lochland will only improve after coming back into the side. The midfield will be a key battle that may decide the fixture.
