Gold Coast's Ava Usher will miss round 12 and is ineligible for the AFLW Rising Star award after the Tribunal upheld her one-match suspension on Tuesday. Usher was cited for rough conduct against Richmond's Bec Miller in round 11, graded as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact. The Suns unsuccessfully argued the impact was low and caused by circumstances outside her control.
The AFL has issued Gold Coast with a please explain over its handling of forward Dekota Baron's concussion against Richmond. The 19-year-old was initially cleared to return to the field before the ARC intervened to rule her out of the match. Gold Coast confirmed Baron has entered concussion protocols and will miss Sunday's clash with Greater Western Sydney.
Collingwood AFLW senior coach Sam Wright has announced he will step down following Sunday's match against Essendon.

The Western Bulldogs have delisted midfielder Riley Garcia, but have committed to selecting him in next month's rookie draft. The 25-year-old had a year remaining on his contract after hamstring injuries limited him to just one VFL appearance this season. Garcia has played 39 senior games for the Bulldogs since being drafted in 2019.
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.

Gold Coast defender Clara Fitzpatrick faces a fitness test on a foot injury ahead of Sunday's match against GWS. Daisy D'Arcy and Dekota Baron have entered concussion protocols following Saturday's win over Richmond, while Mia Salisbury is also a test to return from a collarbone injury. Charlotte Wilson is available for selection after recovering from a pre-season foot injury.
