Victorian and Sydney sides who are heading interstate for finals this weekend are likely to remain on the road for the duration of their campaigns as the prospect of any finals being played in Melbourne is all but ruled out. The AFL is working with the Tasmanian Government on plans to keep the winners of […]
Adelaide has farewelled departing veterans Tom Lynch and David Mackay in fine style, the Crows ending a disappointing season on a high note with a convincing 44-point win over North Melbourne on Sunday. Despite claiming their first wooden spoon since 1972 in round 22, the Kangaroos had been playing an encouraging brand of football since […]
The AFL has hit Gold Coast Suns veteran Jarrod Harbrow with a $2000 fine in his last ever game.

The Fremantle Dockers’ huge loss to St Kilda on Sunday afternoon ended their finals hopes and also confirmed which eight teams would contest this year’s play-offs.

Up to 20 Western Bulldogs players will stay in a hotel this week as all players and staff endure three Covid tests before Friday’s top-four showdown with Port Adelaide as part of strict rules. But coach Luke Beveridge, who opted to stay at home, which in turn meant his wife, a nurse, took unpaid leave […]
