Start a phantom draftCollingwood has announced an independent review into its AFLW program following a one-win season and the resignation of senior coach Sam Wright. An external consultant will work with the club's AFLW sub-committee to develop recommendations for long-term improvement. Magpies president Barry Carp acknowledged the club had not got it right, taking responsibility and committing to changes on and off the field.
Carlton captain Patrick Cripps says the off-field indiscretions of teammates Lachie Cowan and Wade Derksen are a wake-up call for the playing group. Speaking on SEN on Wednesday, Cripps said both players were embarrassed and have the summer to win back respect. Carlton suspended Cowan for two matches and Derksen for three matches to start the 2027 season.
Brisbane AFLW coach Craig Starcevich has signed a three-year contract extension with the Lions, turning down late interest from Collingwood. Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly contacted Starcevich to gauge his interest in returning to Victoria following the departure of Sam Wright, while Tasmania also pursued him. Starcevich confirmed the Magpies' call came too late, having already committed to remaining with the Lions.
Essendon and Richmond have agreed to play an additional Dreamtime match at Perth's Optus Stadium from 2027 as part of a two-year deal with the Western Australian government. The Round 16 clash, named Dreamtime at Maali, will take place during NAIDOC week while the traditional MCG fixture remains. Essendon will host next year's game, with Richmond hosting in 2028.
Greater Western Sydney has tabled a new two-year contract offer to midfielder Tom Green, according to AFL.com.au. The Giants previously offered a seven-year deal, but Green is expected to favour the shorter commitment and stay at the club despite significant pursuit from the incoming Tasmania Devils.
Greater Western Sydney is targeting Carlton defender Maddy Hendrie as a potential circuit-breaker in trade talks for Cambridge McCormick, according to AFL.com.au. The 24-year-old is contracted at the Blues for 2027, with Carlton holding preliminary discussions to extend her deal further. The Giants could offer Hendrie a lucrative contract to facilitate a move as Carlton pursues McCormick.
Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has been approached by the AFL to coach Western Australia in next year's Origin clash against South Australia at Optus Stadium. Longmuir is tipped to replace Sydney coach Dean Cox as the league rotates senior coaches through the role. Collingwood coach Craig McRae is expected to coach South Australia, with appointments set to be confirmed in November.
The Tasmania Devils will not offer inaugural VFL captain Robbie Fox a playing contract for 2027. The club cited the development of emerging talent ahead of its 2028 AFL entry, alongside expectations regarding "player behaviour and adherence to our standards". The 33-year-old former Sydney defender played 105 AFL games before leading the Devils to finals in their first VFL season.
Former West Coast forward Jack Williams has signed with the Tasmania Devils for their 2027 VFL campaign. The 22-year-old played 54 matches and kicked 46 goals across five seasons with the Eagles before being delisted. Williams joins former Geelong player George Stevens at the club, with an eye on an AFL list spot for Tasmania's inaugural 2028 season.
Fremantle has delisted uncapped winger Jaren Carr, but the club has committed to re-drafting him as a rookie next month. The decision opens up another spot on the Dockers' primary list ahead of the national draft. Carr, 22, was selected as a father-son prospect with pick 63 in 2024 and has yet to make his AFL debut.
Press reports hinted that royalty would attend the Pioneer Exhibition Game at Queen's Club in London, but the Prince of Wales was actually overseas in France that day.
At the Anzac exhibition match at Queen's Club in London, a spectator asked a fumbling player whether he thought the ball was a bomb, in a game with a colonel playing in defence and a chaplain captaining the other side.
