The teams for the 2024 rebel VFLW Grand Final.

Stability is the name of the game as North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs have named unchanged line-ups for Sunday’s history-making premiership decider at ETU Stadium.

Both teams have gone with the same 21 players that have got them to the big dance, with the Kangaroos unchanged throughout the finals series and the Bulldogs making just a solitary switch following the qualifying final loss to Williamstown.

Each has, however, added strength to their emergencies list, with Felicity Theodore being put on standby for the Kangaroos and Chloe Leonard for the Bulldogs.

The match starts at 12:10pm at Port Melbourne’s ETU Stadium, with entry free. Patrons are advised dogs are not permitted into the venue.

The 2024 rebel VFLW Grand Final will be broadcast on the Seven Network and live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.

Fans can also tune in via Casey Radio 97.7FM or caseyradio.com.au and WARF Radio.
