Story summary

The Geelong Cats secured their place in the AFLW finals with a dominant 68-point victory over the Western Bulldogs on October 30, 2026, winning 13.10 (88) to 3.2 (20) at GMHBA Stadium. Led by Jacqueline Parry’s five goals and Chantal Mason’s three, Geelong extended their winning streak to 11 games and guaranteed a top-two finish on the ladder with an 11-1 record. The Cats’ resurgence is credited to flag-winning coach Mick Stinear's arrival at the end of last year, ending their two-year absence from finals football. North Melbourne, the defending premiers, must lose to Richmond for Geelong to secure first place ahead of Saturday’s final round games.
