With AFLW Season 2.0 just over two weeks away, the Lions' AFLW team are itching to get going in 2018. 

This Saturday will be the first opportunity for the squad to put their pre-season training to the test, taking on the GWS Giants in a practice match at WestConnex Centre in Sydney. 

The last time the two teams met the Lions came away with a 34-point home-turf victory. 

The team will be led by their inaugural Captain Emma Zielke who was re-elected into the leadership role by fellow teammates and coaching staff earlier in the week.

Zielke is one of six women in the leadership group who will front the team this season.

It will be the only pre-season game the Lions play before the season gets underway with a blockbuster Grand Final re-match against the Adelaide Crows on February 3 at Norwood Oval, Adelaide.

Entry to Saturday's match is free and food and drink will also be available for purchase at the ground.
