Looking forward to the team sheet and if crowds are allowed. The time will clash a little with the AFL game against the Hawks, which starts at 2:10.

Not expecting any crowds to be allowed.
Spoke to a friend involved in the VAFA this morning and they are not anticipating any crowds for games at their level until at least the following weekend. Assume VFL/VFLW will be the same.
Game being advertised as available via Kayp Freebies.

Disappointing. Oh well, at least it'd on Kayo (for free). The original GF date would have been perfect too.

Understand VFLW GF between Collingwood and Geelong has also been called off. Pies beat the Bombers on July 10 to qualify for the grand final - and haven't played since.

The AFL has advised all VFL and VFLW Clubs that this weekend’s scheduled matches in Victoria will not proceed following the seven-day lockdown announced by the Victorian State Government yesterday.
The includes the 2021 rebel VFLW Grand Final between Collingwood and Geelong scheduled for Sunday at ETU Stadium.

That would be sensational.
I'm sorry for the girls but I really hope that they play in front of a crowd.
Victoria Park would be sensational and an ideal Nick's meet-up occasion.

One game left to complete the season.
29 days today since Collingwood played a game... that's some break.
