The AFLW has made the most of the public holiday for the men’s grand final parade and scheduled four games throughout the day.
First up, it’s Collingwood hosting Gold Coast, two teams that are struggling this season.

The Magpies are still without a win as they head into their sixth match.
They have been badly hit by injuries and have been using top-up VFLW players in order to field a team. Meanwhile, the Suns have just the two points after a draw with GWS.
Then, it’s Essendon and Melbourne at Windy Hill. Each team have just one win so far this year, so will be playing for their season.
The hot-starting St Kilda are next up to face Fremantle, who have been a touch inconsistent but doing alright this year, at RSEA Park.
And to headline the evening, it’s the Western Bulldogs to play Sydney at Whitten Oval.
The Magpies games is now underway.
