In the AFLW’s Week 7, several key matchups could shift the standings, with teams striving for finals positioning. Here’s how each side can win and which players to watch:

1. **St Kilda vs GWS Giants**: St Kilda needs to re-establish their running game, which was stifled by recent defensive shifts. Jesse Wardlaw is pivotal for the Saints, and the Giants must stop her influence, likely through Pepa Randall. The Giants, meanwhile, need to tighten their early defense as they often concede too much early in games【6†source】【7†source】.

2. **Adelaide vs Melbourne**: Adelaide’s Caitlin Gould is a key target in the forward line, and her battle with Tahlia Gillard will be crucial. For Melbourne, stopping Adelaide’s Danielle Ponter and Chelsea Randall from finding space will be vital, while the Demons must also capitalize on Kate Hore’s early influence【7†source
