Greenvale will square off against Aberfeldie for their Round 10 clash over at Section Road.
The Jets are coming off a 46-point loss against Oak Park last week. A late surge from Greenvale had come too late, seeing them fall short of the win.
For Aberfeldie, a 36-point win last week against the Essendon Doutta Stars saw them hit a second consecutive victory.
The last time these two met was back in Round 5 where it was Aberfeldie who pulled off a 164-point win over Greenvale.
Moana Hope, Emily Smith, and Briana Marino were all crucial in the win, which will see Aberfeldie look to them again.
It will be a massive test for Greenvale this week, but with Kayla Peake, Jorji Allison, and Jii Williams stepping up in recent weeks, they'll be hoping for an improved performance.
Maribyrnong Park will take on Keilor at Monk Oval this week.
The Lions are yet to record a win as the competition hits Round 10. Their recent match against Hillside, where they were scoreless and lost by 68 points, marked their ninth consecutive loss.
Keilor is looking to put their loss to Moonee Valley last week behind them. In what was one of the season's most thrilling clashes, a single point was the difference for Keilor.
The last time these two sides met was back in Round 2 where Keilor secured the 109-point win.
Tegan Matthews was a standout, bagging eight goals, while Mali Sauvarin was Maribyrnong Park's lone goalkicker on the day.
This contest is crucial for both sides as they're eager for a win and redemption.
Essendon Doutta Stars and Moonee Valley are set for an intriguing clash with the two teams meeting at Buckley Park.
The Stars fell short of the win against Aberfeldie last week losing by 36 points, while Moonee Valley kept its fans on the edge of their seats, securing the one-point win over Keilor.
The two sides last met in Round 1 where the Stars outplayed Moonee Valley by 49 points.
Lucy Dunne and Harmony Mitsos were classy with a combined total of six goals.
Charlotte D'Ambrosio impressed for Moonee Valley kicking two goals.
The Stars look to be well placed for the win given their ladder position of fourth, but Moonee Valley's recent performances have shown that they're a side to keep your eye on.
Hillside will play host to Oak Park at Hillside Recreation Reserve.
Last week's result showed once again why they're the division's ladder leaders, with a 68-point performance that kept Maribyrnong Park scoreless right until the final siren.
Oak Park is also riding high from their recent win after toppling Greenvale by 46 points.
The last time these two sides met was back in Round 1 in a gritty, tight-scoring contest in which Hillside was victorious.
Jasmine Kincaid was unstoppable with two goals on the afternoon for the Sharks, while for Oak Park, Emily Findlay, Sasha Nelson, and Stephanie Normington-Dickens were the sole contributors at goals.
Shark Park is set for a frosty fest as it looks to be a much anticipated clash.

Coburg Districts get Round 9 underway, hosting Burnside Heights at Cole Reserve.
The side continues to move through their campaign without a win so far, while the Bears returned back to the winner's circle after defeating Tullamarine by 32 points.
Round 5 saw the last time these two faced off with the Bears reigning supreme in the 56-point stunner. Holly McGregor was among the highlights, bagging three goals for her side.
The Bears will be hoping to go back-to-back this week, after a 32-point win over Tullamarine last week, while a win for Coburg Districts could see them break their losing streak.
Keilor Park will host Tullamarine this weekend.
Fresh off the back of a loss to Westmeadows, which was a close clash, they'll be hoping to cap off this round with a win.
Tullamarine will be eager to secure a win themselves, with their last one seen back in Round 6. Recently, they fell short of a win by 32 points against Burnside Heights.
Keilor Park secured the win in Round 2 when first meeting Tullamarine this season in the 79-point clash.
Caitlyn Crameri and Georgia O’Donovan were impressive kicking six goals combined.
Momentum will be key, and whichever side settles first could take control early.
A twilight battle between Westmeadows and Strathmore at Willowbrook Reserve rounds out the Airport Toyota Division One action.
Westmeadows claimed an 11-point victory against Keilor Park last week, while Strathmore continues to soar through its campaign undefeated.
The last time these two sides met was in Round 4 where Strathmore took out the 32-point win.
Emma Artigas was the lead goal scorer for Strathmore with two, while Westmeadows had Stefanie Maiorana and Ruby Smith kick a goal each.
With the regular season's conclusion creeping closer, both sides will want to test themselves against the best. Expect intensity, and a result that could echo into finals.

Following a very positive display in last week’s contest, East Sunbury takes on Sunbury Lions at John McMahon Recreation Reserve.
The Thunder come into this weekend after having kicked its second-highest score in women’s club history and highest for the 2025 campaign.
The three-goal outing was highlighted by captain Rhianna Kirk who kicked two and vice-captain Sophia Iosifidis with one.
The pair were listed alongside Holly Roberts-Engellenner as the Thunder’s best on ground.
East Sunbury will be hoping its positive rebuild continues into the back half of the season after a dampened first half of the season.
The Sunbury Lions however will be looking to make amends for its loss under lights.
Now placed fifth with a 2-6 record, the Lions will be hoping to turn things around as the season’s end draws closer.
The 77-point victory over the Thunder in the sides’ last clash says they are capable, but standing in their way is an East Sunbury team whose rebuild is starting to show reward for effort.
Another top-of-the-table clash is upon us as Taylors Lakes challenges Gisborne at Lionheart Reserve.
Taylors Lakes is coming into this one following an upset loss at the hands of Sunbury Kangaroos.
Held to just 14 points, Charlie Goodwin and Jess McKenzie struck early in the first before the Lions were held out from there.
The second-placed Taylors Lakes will be hoping their 6-2 record doesn’t cop another hit, and with talent like Goodwin, Rebecca Foggie, and Stefania Valerio highlighting the side, will they pose an upset against the ladder leaders?
The undefeated Gisborne won its latest meeting against the Lions in Round 4 by seven points and haven’t shown any signs of slowing down since then.
Leading goalkicker for the Dogs, Alexia Todorovic has been a breakout star for the side and has kicked 23 majors. Will we see any more added to the tally this weekend?
In a match bubbling with talent and goalkicking records for both sides, this EDFL Nelson Alexander Match of the Day might just be one of the games of the season.
Closing off the round is a twilight winter-solstice contest between third and fourth as Eric Broadman Reserve welcomes Sunbury Kangaroos and Roxburgh Park.
Following an upset win over Taylors Lakes, the Kangas are hunting a fourth win on the trot.
Courtney Sneddon booted her first two for the season and was named best on ground as her side kept the momentum rolling.
The Kangas are well and truly in contention for finals and a win here will keep them on the right track.
Roxburgh Park picked up its first win in five weeks and will look to take another on Saturday.
It’s been a rollercoaster of a season for Roxy with a 3-5 record undermining some brilliant on-field results in the season so far.
Roxy was dominant from the get-go against the Thunder with sibling duo Jameson and Mackenzie Best combining with four goals.
These equally matched sides will put up a fight and the result could sway either way.
