Start a phantom draftEssendon has announced inaugural AFLW coach Natalie Wood will not be offered a new contract beyond the 2026 season. Wood and the club informed players following Sunday's defeat to Hawthorn. Wood, who led the Bombers to finals in 2023 and 2024, will remain in charge for the final game of the season against Collingwood next week.
Hawthorn defeated Essendon 3.7 (25) to 3.2 (20) in wet conditions today to strengthen their push for a top-eight finish. The Hawks will guarantee a finals berth if they defeat West Coast next weekend. Essendon dominated territory in a scoreless final quarter but fell short, having lost Sophie Van De Heuvel to concussion at quarter-time.
West Coast's hopes of qualifying for the AFLW finals are all but over following a 22-point loss to Sydney at Henson Park on Sunday. The Eagles fell 12.6 (78) to 8.8 (56), suffering their seventh defeat of the season and third consecutive loss to leave Daisy Pearce's side outside the top eight with one round remaining.
North Melbourne have recorded their 10th win of the season, defeating Adelaide 5.8 (38) to 4.5 (29) in wet conditions at North Hobart Oval on Sunday. Trailing by a point at three-quarter time, the Kangaroos overran the Crows in the final term, with Vikki Wall kicking the sealing goal. Jasmine Garner and Ash Riddell gathered 32 disposals each for North Melbourne.
Former Port Adelaide forward Daniel Stewart has died suddenly at the age of 37. Recruited with pick 35 in the 2009 Rookie Draft, Stewart played 36 games and kicked 31 goals for the Power between 2010 and 2013. Port Adelaide announced his passing on Saturday and will wear black armbands in their first home match of the 2027 season.
Gold Coast have kept their top-four chances alive with a four-point win over Richmond at People First Stadium on Saturday, finishing 8.6 (54) to 7.8 (50). Havana Harris kicked a career-high four goals as the Suns overcame an 11-point half-time deficit despite losing Dekota Baron and Daisy D'Arcy to concussion. The win moves the Suns to 8-3 ahead of a final-round clash with Greater Western Sydney.
Fremantle have dropped out of the AFLW top eight following a 30-point loss to Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday. The 9.10 (64) to 5.4 (34) defeat cost the Dockers seven percentage points heading into the final round. Fremantle must now beat Sydney next week and rely on results from Adelaide and Hawthorn to have any chance of playing finals.
Melbourne have all but secured an AFLW top-four finish with a 17-point win over the Western Bulldogs at Mission Whitten Oval on Saturday night. Alyssa Bannan kicked two goals in the Demons' 5.7 (37) to 2.8 (20) victory, which ended the Bulldogs' five-game winning streak. Bulldogs co-captain Isabelle Pritchard suffered a knee injury in the third term, while Melbourne's Sinead Goldrick injured her hamstring.
Port Adelaide has defeated Collingwood by 48 points at Alberton Oval on Friday night, holding the Magpies goalless in an 8.4 (52) to 0.4 (4) win. The result condemned Collingwood to the lowest score in its AFLW history in its 100th match and left the club 17th on the ladder with a 1-10 record. Port Adelaide improved to 5-6 to keep its finals hopes alive.
The AFL has informed clubs that the games threshold for AFLW father-daughter eligibility will be raised from one match to 100 matches from 2028. The change will bring the rule in line with the men's competition. The League will also introduce a tighter bidding system for father-daughter and Academy selections from 2027, as well as live draft trading.
The Victorian Football Association terminated Sunshine's licence two days after the Fitzroy Bulldogs merger collapsed, ending the club's 31 years in the competition.
A typhoon swept over the Kanto region in the days before the second Aussie Bowl at Yokohama, where Essendon, replacing Carlton, lost to Hawthorn by about ten goals before only about 13,000.
