THE WESTERN Bulldogs and Port Adelaide will take to footy's grandest stage on Friday evening when the two AFLW sides meet at the MCG.

The Dogs will be looking to course correct after last week's loss to Greater Western Sydney while the Power matched it with Adelaide right until the final siren of last week's Showdown.

The clash also gives Victorian fans a chance to see Port Adelaide's impressive draftees in action, with week one Rising Star nominee Shineah Goody to take to the field alongside fellow South Australian youngsters Piper Window and Molly Brooksby.
