Brisbane have won their third consecutive AFL premiership, defeating Fremantle by seven points in the Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday. After trailing by 17 points late in the final term, the Lions kicked the last four goals, including two from Logan Morris in the final minute, to win 14.12 (96) to 12.17 (89). Fremantle's Shai Bolton was awarded the Norm Smith Medal.
MCG security tackled Conor McKenna's father, Pat, after he jumped the fence to join Brisbane's premiership celebrations on Saturday. With family members initially barred from entering the field, Pat was brought to ground while running towards the players. McKenna intervened, convincing security guards to release his father so he could join the celebrations.
Lachie Neale has settled on joining Collingwood on a three-year deal after confirming his departure from Brisbane, according to The Age. The 33-year-old dual Brownlow medallist was not offered a contract by the Lions for 2027 and is expected to officially inform the club ahead of free agency opening on Friday. Brisbane president Andrew Wellington said Neale leaves with the club's blessing.
Fremantle believe captain Alex Pearce may have suffered a partial Achilles tear rather than a full tear during Saturday's Grand Final against Brisbane. Dockers football boss Joe Brierty said on Sunday that Pearce will undergo scans on Monday, but the club hopes he will avoid surgery. Pearce was injured untouched early in the third term at the MCG.
Gold Coast moved into the top four after defeating St Kilda 10.9 (69) to 6.3 (39) at People First Stadium on Sunday. The Saints held a 15-point half-time lead behind Jesse Tawhiao-Wardlaw's four early goals, but the Suns kicked eight second-half goals to one. Tawhiao-Wardlaw finished with a career-high five goals, while Charlie Rowbottom gathered 38 disposals for Gold Coast.
Fremantle star Shai Bolton has won the 2026 Norm Smith Medal despite the Dockers suffering a seven-point Grand Final defeat to Brisbane on Saturday. Bolton polled 10 votes from the five-judge panel to finish ahead of Lions duo Dayne Zorko and Will Ashcroft on six votes each. He becomes Fremantle's first Norm Smith Medallist and just the fifth player to win the award in a losing team.
Fremantle have moved into the top eight after defeating Adelaide by 25 points at Unley Oval on Sunday. The 9.6 (60) to 5.5 (35) win snapped a six-game losing streak against the Crows and left both teams with finals implications, handing Adelaide their fourth loss of the season.
Brisbane coach Chris Fagan is weighing whether to retire or coach on in 2027 following the Lions' Grand Final victory on Saturday. The 65-year-old said walking away while on top was "sort of the dream way to finish" after 10 years in charge, but he needed to determine if he had the energy required. Fagan said he would not take long to make a decision.
Sydney have maintained their AFLW top-four position with a 5.7 (37) to 3.5 (23) win over Brisbane at Henson Park on Sunday. The defeat leaves the Lions' finals hopes hanging by a thread under coach Craig Starcevich, while Sydney pursue their first finals appearance since 2023. Cynthia Hamilton kicked two goals for the Swans, and Ally Morphett finished with 20 disposals and 28 hitouts.
Brisbane's Lachie Neale has responded to Jack Ginnivan on Instagram following Saturday's Grand Final victory. After Ginnivan commented on Neale's premiership post, Neale replied by asking if his stomach was okay. Neale had struck Ginnivan behind play during the preliminary final, but had a one-match striking ban overturned at the AFL appeals board on Thursday night.
