Draft night Thu 19 Nov
North Melbourne have secured their third consecutive AFLW minor premiership after defeating Richmond by 68 points at Windy Hill on Saturday. The Kangaroos kicked seven unanswered first-half goals on their way to a 15.11 (101) to 5.3 (33) victory, finishing the home-and-away season with an 11-1 record. Jasmine Garner collected 28 disposals and a goal, while Ash Riddell had 32 touches.
Play between Port Adelaide and St Kilda resumed at RSEA Park on Saturday after an almost hour-long lightning delay. The round 12 match was halted just after half-time when an electrical storm and lightning strikes hit Moorabbin. Port Adelaide went on to edge past the Saints 7.9 (51) to 7.3 (45).
Brisbane's search to replace Chris Fagan as senior coach has narrowed to four contenders, according to SEN. Current Lions assistant Cameron Bruce, former senior coaches Adam Simpson and Nathan Buckley, and Collingwood assistant Hayden Skipworth remain in the running, with formal presentations now underway. Bruce is considered the frontrunner for the position.
Chris Fagan has joined Carlton as the club's director of coaching. The full-time role will see the triple Brisbane premiership coach support and mentor the coaching group alongside new senior coach Josh Fraser. Fagan, who will report to general manager of football Chris Davies, will also have a match-day component to his role.
Adelaide defender Josh Worrell will not be sent to jail after pleading guilty to driving without due care for striking a pedestrian in July. Appearing in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday, the 25-year-old had a charge of failing to report the accident dropped. The magistrate will sentence Worrell on Tuesday to either a fine, good behaviour bond or community service.
Geelong have secured a top-two finish and a home qualifying final after defeating the Western Bulldogs by 68 points at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night. The 13.10 (88) to 3.2 (20) victory sealed an 11th straight win and made the Cats the highest-scoring team in AFLW home-and-away history. Jacqueline Parry kicked five goals on return from concussion to reach a league-high 26 for the season.
Jacinta Hose has been named as a late inclusion for Melbourne's clash with Adelaide on Sunday, replacing Georgia Campbell due to illness. Amelia Dethridge has been added as an emergency. The Demons had earlier recalled Jorja Livingstone and Saraid Taylor from a calf injury, with Sinead Goldrick and Shelley Heath-Barker missing through injury.
Former Sydney co-captain Dane Rampe has announced his retirement from the AFL after 289 games across 14 seasons. The 36-year-old defender, who joined the Swans via the 2012 rookie draft, won the Bob Skilton Medal in 2019 and earned All-Australian honours in 2016. Rampe captained the club again during the 2026 finals series, finishing his career in the preliminary final loss to Fremantle.
Tom Green has signed a two-year contract extension with Greater Western Sydney, keeping him at the club until the end of 2029. According to Callum Twomey, Green turned down an offer worth nearly $2 million a season from Tasmania to re-sign. The 25-year-old midfielder missed the 2026 season with a ruptured ACL after winning the Kevin Sheedy Medal in 2025.
Retiring Sydney Swan Dane Rampe has said he was hurt by his teammates' actions during the Pullman Hotel saga. Rampe addressed the incident on Friday following reports regarding the players' behaviour at the hotel.
Ireland and Australia played the first and, so far, only women's International Rules series in 2006, with Ireland winning the first test at Breffni Park in Cavan.
The Galahs played an Australia v Britain exhibition of Australian rules at the Crystal Palace in London, in heavy rain and under lights, and won 101 to 75.
