Start a phantom draftNorth Melbourne AFLW star Jasmine Garner has revealed players have mixed emotions over the club's decision to trade for Nick Blakey. Blakey signed an eight-year deal with the Kangaroos while subject to an ongoing police investigation over an incident in August. Garner confirmed the playing group was addressed by club leaders on Friday and is working through the decision together.
The AFL is considering scheduling a match between the Western Bulldogs and Port Adelaide for Gather Round in 2027, according to the Herald Sun. The fixture would mark Zak Butters' first game against his former club following his free agency move to the Bulldogs. The potential matchup is being weighed up to either open or close the round in South Australia.
St Kilda midfielder Charlie Banfield accidentally hit a close friend with a car on a private property in Western Australia earlier this month. The friend was hospitalised with broken bones but is expected to make a full recovery, with no legal action expected against Banfield. The Saints confirmed they are aware of the incident and will continue to support the 19-year-old.
St Kilda have announced they will sign veteran forward Jake Stringer as a delisted free agent next month. The 32-year-old was Greater Western Sydney's leading goalkicker in 2026, kicking 48 goals in 23 matches before departing to return to Melbourne for family reasons. Stringer has played 250 games and kicked 440 goals across his career with the Western Bulldogs, Essendon and the Giants.
Port Adelaide captain Justine Mules-Robinson has announced she will retire from football at the end of the 2026 AFLW season. The 31-year-old foundation player won three premierships across 49 games with Adelaide before playing 54 matches for the Power, where she has captained since 2025. Mules-Robinson said the prospect of parenthood with her wife Liv influenced her decision.
Geelong has delisted midfielder Mitch Knevitt ahead of the 2027 season, though the club remains open to re-drafting him next month. Selected with pick 25 in the 2021 national draft, the 23-year-old played 23 senior games across five seasons for the Cats.
Sydney co-vice-captain Sofia Hurley has signed a two-year contract extension to remain with the Swans until the end of 2028. The 2024 club champion was drafted with pick five in 2022 and has played 43 games for Sydney. She featured in five games this season before suffering an ankle injury in the Sydney Derby.
Adelaide coaching director Murray Davis will not pursue Brisbane's vacant senior coaching position, according to the Herald Sun. Davis was sounded out by the Lions, where he spent 13 seasons as an assistant before joining Adelaide in 2024. Current Brisbane assistant Cameron Bruce is considered the frontrunner to replace Chris Fagan, with the club planning to appoint a new coach by the end of October.
Adelaide have ended Gold Coast's six-match winning streak with a 10.3 (63) to 7.11 (53) victory at Unley Oval on Saturday. Sisters Grace and Niamh Kelly combined for five goals before Chloe Bown sealed the result with a minute remaining. Adelaide midfielder Madison Newman will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing the ACL in her left knee.
Fremantle have returned to the AFLW top eight after defeating St Kilda by 10 points at Cockburn ARC Oval on Sunday, winning 7.8 (50) to 6.4 (40). The Saints led early in the final term in caretaker coach Matt Brewer's first match, but the Dockers kicked three late goals to secure the win. Eden Zanker and Noa McNaughton kicked two goals each.
Former Geelong player Ben Graham signed with the New Orleans Saints specifically to play a single game in London.
The West Coast Eagles Football Club was formed, leaving it only 160 days to assemble a team and an infrastructure before its first VFL season in 1987.
