Here's everything you need to know ahead of the season opener between St Kilda and Carlton
THE AFLW season kicks off this Sunday as St Kilda and Carlton do battle at Marvel Stadium in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
The game forms part of a double header with the Saints-Blues AFL clash, giving fans the chance to see both sides in a huge day of footy action.
Sunday evening is also the sixth edition of Spud's Game, which brings together people in the community to have conversations that matter and break the stigma around mental ill-health.
Sarah Hosking, Josh Gabelich and Nat Edwards preview Spud’s game and discuss the AFLW season opener, Eric Bana’s love for Danny Frawley, the latest on Jack Silvagni’s shoulder injury and the stories behind Carlton’s goal celebrations.
‘Faceless’ foes to face off as Carlton and St Kilda scrap for wildcard spot
There will be plenty of familiar faces on both sides when Carlton take on St Kilda at Marvel Stadium in what is arguably the most consequential clash between the two clubs since the 1972 preliminary final.
Liam Stocker will be donning a Saints jumper for his 100th AFL game when he lines up alongside other ex-Blues Jack Silvagni and Tom De Koning, while former Saint Blake Acres will wear the No.13 Carlton jumper Stocker wore in his 28 matches with Carlton.
Another win under interim coach Josh Fraser will kick the Blues two games clear of St Kilda in the race for a wildcard spot, while Ross Lyon’s team will leapfrog Carlton if they win – with a softer draw in their remaining two matches likely to see them home.
