The 2025 AFLW season's Round 2 clash sees the Collingwood Magpies face off against the GWS Giants in a Saturday afternoon match in Melbourne.
Collingwood will hope to bounce back after a 24-point loss in their season-opening loss to Carlton at Ikon Park. Kellyann Hogan continues to be monitored after she left the Round 1 clash with a shoulder injury.
The Giants will look to bounce back after a heavy 56-point defeat to Essendon in Round 1. The Bombers scored their highest-ever AFLW score: 85-29.
GWS struggled without Alyce Parker, who left the game at halftime with an ankle injury. They must improve their efficiency around goal to stay competitive against the Magpies.
