AFLW preliminary finals locked in

Carlton will host Fremantle in a Saturday AFLW preliminary with Adelaide hosting Geelong on Sunday.

The preliminary finals have been confirmed, with the Blues' match to start at 2.45pm (AEDT) at Ikon Park on Saturday and the Crows' game to begin at 1.10pm (AEDT) on Sunday at the Adelaide Oval.

The Crows' final will be the first AFLW match to be staged at that stadium.

The winners will advance to the grand final on Sunday March 31 at a venue and time to be confirmed.

The grand final host will be the club with the most premiership points, or highest percentage if points are the same.
