There have been three things we’ve been waiting for this week:

The official launch of Finals Week
Team List Thursday
1:05PM Saturday afternoon

We decided that with there being three things we were counting down to that we shouldn’t do a daily post with how many days to go. We can say that we’ve reached the second thing as it’s team list Thursday for our first final in three years.

The squad is unchanged from that which hit the job done against the Dogs last Friday. A solid side right through the Emergency players.

Adding to the significance of the occasion our co-captain Nina Morrison is playing her 75th AFLW match. What a match for a Geelong local who grew up bleeding blue and white, one of our first AFLW Cats, to bring up the milestone in.

It’s a quirk of the AFLW draw that we’ve had to wait until the first week of the finals for Mick Stinear to coach against the Dees for the first time. This quirk just adds even more for this match.

We haven’t been able to secure a confirmed location to watch the match as an official Canberra Cats viewing, but we reckon that shouldn’t stop people from watching it.

If you’re not lucky enough to be at Ikon Park on Saturday (GMHBA was booked for AusX Open), tune in via 7Mate or Fox on TV. You can also stream through Kayo, Binge, or 7Plus. Heck, you can also tune in via the AFLW channel on ABC Digital Radio.

No matter where you are, we hope as many of you tune in however you can and cheer on the Cats as they look to salute Nina in the correct way - and earn a week off followed by a match at GMHBA in the process

TOP 2 LOCKED IN!

The icing on top is that the Cats now hold the AFLW regular season pointscoring record

29/10/2026

The AFL 2027 season draw may be out, but there’s still some quality footy left to come in one regular season match, and some finals, in 2026. The first of those matches sees the Cats host the Dogs to open the final round of 2026, and for that match we see two changes to the squad that took care of Freo last week.

Omitted from the squad this week is a wealth of experience in Jasmin Stewart (who this week announced her retirement at the end of 2026), and AFLW centurion Nicola Stevens. In their place we welcome back Claudia Gunjaca from injury and Jackie Parry from concussion protocol.

We have the double-chance secured, but top two is not yet locked in. Our opponents tomorrow are a deceptively tough side who will be playing finals and still hold a very slim chance of top 4 - and will do everything they can tomorrow night to help their chances of finishing top 4.

This will be a tough one, but tune in to Fox, Kayo, Binge, or on one of the carrying streaming radio channels tomorrow at 7:15PM and cheer our women on as they look to make sure of a top 2 finish - and give themselves a chance of possibly a miraculous minor premiership - in the lead-up to their first finals since 2023. Unfortunately we again will not be having a Canberra Cats viewing of the match, but hopefully we may be able to see what we can do to get together to view our finals.

Before we do tomorrow’s team share, we’d like to advise our members of our AGM at 7PM on the 20th of November.

We’d love for more members to join us to as we look back on 2026 and start to plan 2027

29/10/2026

A bit to unpack in the draw for season 2027 but it looks like we’re in for some good clashes. Sadly no Geelong match in Canberra but plenty of action for us regardless.

22/10/2026

Two milestones this weekend. Two rounds to go. It seems that we have to say two a bit too much this Team list Thursday as we need to say that the final two clashes are going to be tough ones against fellow top 8 sides.

The first of those is Saturday afternoon against the 8th placed Dockers, and we have one change from last week.

Jackie Parry is out after suffering concussion against the Eagles last weekend. Coming in to the squad is Kate Kenny for her first AFLW match this year. Let’s hope that having four Irish players on the ground gives us quadruple luck of the Irish.

We mentioned two milestones, and what milestones they are. For two players that were foundation players in their own ways.

Nicola Stevens brings up her 100th AFLW match this weekend. Nicola was one of the players running around in the very first AFLW match in 2017, and we’ve benefited a lot from her experience this year.

Our other milestone match is Amy McDonald who was a foundation Cat and on Saturday brings up her 75th game in the AFLW - all with Geelong. We’re definitely benefiting by having Amy’s experience this year as well, and we’ll be looking to make sure these two stalwarts of our game salute properly.

We may be locked into finals, but our opponents are no certainty for November action and will be looking to spoil the milestone party and keep themselves in the 8. No Canberra Cats viewing (again), but if you can access Fox, Kayo, Binge, or can find a digital radio broadcaster, this will be one to tune in to and cheer as we look to give Amy and Nicola a proper result, and keep ourselves locked in the top 2 ahead of next week’s clash with the Dogs

15/10/2026

We’ve blinked and it’s somehow Thursday evening again. We won’t dwell on how quickly the week has gone by, but will instead focus on the team for Saturday night’s clash with the Eagles in Perth.

Only one change this week with Claudia Gunjaca out after suffering a shoulder injury against the Giants last week. We’ll miss her experience and calm head, but replacing Claudia is Evie Cowcher - who returns after being managed last week.

There’s bit in this for both sides. Cats are looking for 9 straight wins and wanting to lock away a top 2 spot. The Eagles are still a chance to play finals and so Daisy will make sure that her charges leave nothing out there against the team that her former premiership coach has absolutely purring.

The match is on Free to Air, Fox, Kayo, Binge, and multiple digital radio channels, so tune in at 7:15 on Saturday night wherever you are. Unfortunately this week, we will again not be having a Canberra Cats viewing of the match.

08/10/2026

Daylight Saving may be here, and Mack might have been busy (and successful) at the Trade table over the last week, but footy is still here and starting to warm up.

Speaking of the action heating up on the field, our AFLW side are on the longest current hot streak in the comp having won their last 7 straight. It’s still a while to come near North’s record streak which ended a few weeks ago, but the team list is out for our Pride Round clash at home against the Giants on Saturday as we look to make it 8 straight wins and try to get close to matching North.

No milestone matches this week, but we do have one change to the side.

After missing last week with concussion, Lexi Gregor returns to the action. Making way for Lexi, is Evie Cowcher who has been managed for the first time since making her AFLW debut as an 18 year old in round 1.

Evie’s reads in defence, and the combination she’s putting together with Claudia Gunjaca and our co-captain Becky Webster make it so easy to forget that she’s only just a tick over 19 years old now. Her absence this week will make it a closer match, but our ladies and coach Stinear will make sure that the focus is there for the full four quarters.

There is (again) no Canberra Cats viewing of this match, but with the match being telecast on Fox and 7Mate; streaming on Kayo, 7Plus, and Binge; and available on various digital radio channels there are plenty of ways to tune in and cheer on the women as they aim to make it eight straight and solidify that top 3 spot.

01/10/2026

Normal transmission date for the team list this week - albeit a little later in the evening than normal.

One change this week and it’s a mandatory forced one. Lexi Gregor is out under concussion protocols, but a very handy in to replace her with Bryde O’Rourke coming in to the side.

Also back to normal are milestones happening for a couple of key Cats. Both Chantel Emonson and Kate Surman play their 75th AFLW match tomorrow night.

It’ll be a tough one against a Richmond side that’s just outside of the 8 and keen to make a late season run. We won’t be having a Canberra Cats viewing of the match, but this one is on Foxtel, Kayo, 7Mate, and ABC Sport via digital radio/ABC Listen app, so tune in where you are and cheer our ladies on as they look to maintain their momentum top 4 spot.

23/09/2026

An early team share this week for the match that carries the most consequence this weekend. It’s suddenly become one of the most interesting matches with our opponents last week doing what many were beginning to think was impossible.

Two changes for the Cats from last week’s team that beat Collingwood. Bryde O’Rourke is out with illness while Renee Morgan has been omitted.

Coming in we welcome back Amy McDonald from injury, as well as Jasmin Stewart. In a major deviation from recent weeks, there are no milestones we’re marking this week.

This will be a tough one at home against the Hawks, but we’re up for the challenge. While there is no Canberra Cats viewing of the match, we recommend that people tune in tomorrow night to watch the most significant match of the weekend and cheer as we look to make it six in a row.
