Adelaide v Melbourne
DATE: Friday 26 August

Venue Change
On Monday, the AFL announced that Melbourne's Round 1 match against Adelaide had been relocated to Glenelg Oval.
AFL General Manager Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said the decision to move the Grand Final rematch was based on the deterioration of the turf at Norwood Oval after recent significant rain in the area.
