AFLW to make call on grand final venue

The winner of Saturday night's Western Bulldogs-Melbourne blockbuster will finish top, ensuring the AFLW grand final will take place in the Victorian capital.

Ikon Park looms as the most likely venue for the AFLW grand final, with the Western Bulldogs or Melbourne certain to finish top.

The winner of Saturday night's Bulldogs-Demons blockbuster will be the nominal host team for the premiership decider, but their home grounds at Whitten Oval and Casey Fields aren't big enough to host the showpiece match.

"Now we know we have narrowed it down to Victoria, we will need to have a conversation with the host team ... it's about making sure we build the atmosphere of the AFLW grand final and find the best venue for that," AFLW football boss Nicole Livingstone said.
