The 2026 AFLW finals series continues into a second week with two blockbuster semifinals taking place between Geelong and Sydney, and Carlton and Hawthorn.
Here's everything you need to know about the weekend, including the fixture, team news, tips, results, and more as it comes to hand!
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14
Geelong vs. Sydney
GMHBA Stadium, 4:05pm [AEDT]
Key players to watch: Georgie Prespakis has been in incredible form for Geelong this season and yet again last week she was arguably the best player on the ground racking up 34 disposals, eight tackles, eight intercepts, eight clearances, and five score involvements. There really isn't much more she could have done and will again be integral against the Swans. Speaking of Sydney, no one has kicked more goals in the league than superstar Chloe Molloy, who has 29 next to her name including last week's final. But the three-time All-Australian is versatile enough to play anywhere; she was deployed behind the ball in the final term last week to help protect the lead against the Dogs who were coming home with the breeze, and with the positional switch, she managed six disposals (five intercepts) and two rebound 50s. How will she be used this week?

Carlton vs. Hawthorn
IKON Park, 7:15pm [AEDT]
Key players to watch: The Blues were crushed in the disposal and inside 50 count against the ruthless Roos last week, but the result would have looked a lot worse had it not been for a staunch defence that was copping a barrage of entries and actually held up ok early. The Hawks are fourth for inside 50s per game this season, so look for the league's best interceptor in Harriet Cordner to try and lead the way down back for Carlton again. That's why Hawthorn will need to make the most of each opportunity against one of the AFLW's best backlines, and Aine McDonagh (27 goals this season) and the dynamic Poppy Stockwell (16), will have a big role to play.
