It is the last Whitten Oval AFLW date on this guide. Finals, if any, are unpublished here.

AFLW nights at Whitten are family-heavy compared with a Hopkins gig. Still a crowd. Hold your people.

AFLW: Western Bulldogs v MelbourneSaturday night. 7:15pm. Last 2026 home AFLW date on this list.

The Western Bulldogs host Melbourne in AFLW on Saturday 24 October 2026, 7:15pm AEDT, at Mission Whitten Oval, 417 Barkly Street, West Footscray VIC 3012. The club listed it as the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, on Channel 7 and 7 Plus. Night Saturday: West Footscray station, not Footscray.

We checked 2026-09-17. Still worth a last look at the organiser page.

After the siren

Barkly toward West Footscray station is the short walk. A Footscray station plan after 9pm is a longer, dumber walk. Confirm any post-match transport on the night.
