In the absence of a finals series, the two teams who finished the highest on the ladder at the end of the home and away season played in the AFL Women's Grand Final.Brisbane finished as the minor premiers and secured a spot in the grand final at the end of round six; Adelaide's round seven win over Collingwood saw them secure the second spot in the grand final over Melbourne due to a higher percentage. It was confirmed in February by AFL Chief Executive Officer, Gillon McLachlan, the team who finishes the highest on the ladder at the end of the season would earn the right to host the grand final in their home state.The match was originally planned to be held at The Gabba (Actual home ground of the Brisbane Lions). However due to its ground surface being in a dangerous state it was moved to the nearby Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.

Every round, the AFL Players Association selects a Player of the Week.
