Horne-Francis deal still in play as teams continue talks, clocks are ticking on Dunkley transfer to Lions

The AFL has locked down the final round of the AFLW season after releasing match times and dates today.

The AFL said the round will begin on Friday October 28 with Carlton hosting the Western Bulldogs at IKON Park before the league leaders Brisbane Lions take on Collingwood at Metricon Stadium in a game that could potentially shape the top four.

Women’s football general manager Nicole Livingstone said the round would be followed by the league’s first series of top-eight finals.

“The Round 10 game is a fitting conclusion to a remarkable home and away season and a perfect lead into week one of the AFLW Finals Series,” Livingstone said.

“If the matches look like we saw last weekend, with four matches decided by four points or less, then I’m sure it will be one of the best rounds of the season.”
