The team will then hit the road to take on Port Adelaide at Alberton Oval on Saturday 18 July, which will serve as a sneak preview ahead of the Round One opener against the Power. 

On Saturday 25 July the only official AFLW practice match of the pre-season schedule will take place against Richmond at East Fremantle Oval.  

Then to wrap up the pre-season campaign, a final match simulation will be against cross-town rivals West Coast at Cockburn ARC Oval, on Sunday 2 August at 3pm.
