While the Lions did find their fight in the final term to narrow the margin to just 25 at full-time, it was too little, too late for Chris Fagan\u2019s men. It\u2019s a third straight loss for the Lions now, putting their premiership three-peat in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Zac Bailey did his trade value no harm by finishing with a game-high 30 touches, four marks, two tackles and a goal. Sam Draper fought admirably against the Freo ruck duo of Luke Jackson and Mason Cox to rack up 24 hit-outs, five clearances and a goal.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p> The Lions still racked up 59 inside 50s compared to Fremantle\u2019s 47 and were +11 clearances. But inefficiency proved costly. Brisbane managed just nine marks inside 50 against a Dockers outfit that was missing Brennan Cox after half-time and Alex Pearce for the majority of the final quarter. Lachie Neale was well clamped by Matt Johnson \u2014 before the Docker\u2019s hamstring injury \u2013 and coughed up a goal from some lax defending. Cam Rayner only had seven touches and finished scoreless while tussling repeatedly with Freo\u2019s Andy Brayshaw. Kai Lohmann struggled with the radar finishing with 0.3 and All-Australian midfielder Hugh McCluggage was again quiet, accumulating only 13 disposals.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>D<\/p>\n<p>Fraser on &#8216;ambition&#8217; after win over Cats | 10:19<\/p>\n<p>CARLTON<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe, Baggers fans? Josh Fraser\u2019s fairytale start as Carlton caretaker coach continued on Friday night with a shock upset victory over Geelong. The Blues\u2019 trademark was on show again with convincing wins in the clearance (+13) and contested possession (+13) counts, while their pressure was elite and made the Cats\u2019 defenders panic. That\u2019s now three wins from as many attempts. And the Blues, who started the season 1-8, have now strung together three consecutive victories for the first time in over a year. <\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Gerard Whateley\u2019s call of Patrick Cripps\u2019 match-winning goal on Fox Footy was so apt: \u201cPatrick Cripps, you magnificent man.\u201d Cripps again put the Blues on his back in another mighty display, finishing with 30 disposals, 15 contested possessions, eight clearances and seven score involvements. Sam Walsh was also prominent with 30 touches, seven clearances and seven tackles, while Jagga Smith\u2019s rise continued with was crucial too with 27 disposals and six clearances. Will Hayward, Flynn Young and Brodie Kemp combined for seven goals and Harry Dean showed his potential with 15 touches and seven intercepts on the big stage.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>They almost lost it due to inaccurate goalkicking, with Walsh (0.3), Harry McKay (0.3), Ben Ainsworth (0.2) and Mitch McGovern (0.2) the main culprits. Outside of that, you\u2019ll struggle to get a more inspiring and emotion-charged win this season.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>A+<\/p>\n<p>McRae: &#8220;Changed the game for us!&#8221; | 08:11<\/p>\n<p>COLLINGWOOD<\/p>\n<p>The Magpies almost pulled off the miracle comeback against a Bulldogs side that looked all but home at the final change. They used to be the kings of the close games and their ability to consistently win matches decided by small margins propelled them to a premiership in 2023. But they\u2019ve lost their aura in that department, having won just three of their last 11 games decided by six points or less. The Magpies have won just one of their last five games \u2013 a 10-point result over lowly West Coast \u2013 and, with their 5-6-1 record, have dropped out of the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Jordan De Goey did everything he could to drag his side over the line. He finished with a ridiculous 19 score involvements from his 30 disposals, 10 marks, 541m gained, four clearances, and 1.3. Tim Membrey kicked three goals while Lachie Schultz provided a spark when the Pies needed as he nailed 2.1. Ed Allan and Angus Anderson did a lockdown role on Marcus Bontempelli in the final quarter that proved successful.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>The Pies are facing a dilemma with their reigning best and fairest Darcy Cameron. The Pies lost the centre clearance battle 19-10, with Cameron well beaten by opponent Tim English. Dan McStay had little influence from his nine touches \u2013 and could have been used instead of Cameron, according to Fox Footy\u2019s David King \u2014 while Steele Sidebottom had just 13 touches. The Magpies ended up with more shots on goal than the Dogs \u2013 but inaccuracy proved costly.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>C+<\/p>\n<p>Solomon: &#8220;It&#8217;s been a tough week&#8221; | 08:52<\/p>\n<p>ESSENDON<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers were brave in the opening half in a match where the wild weather conditions made scoring difficult at one end of the ground. But when the Eagles got a run on, Essendon had no momentum to stop an eight-goal run, which cost them any chance of victory. While the Bombers fought back late to narrow the final margin, it was a loss for Dean Solomon\u2019s first match at the helm as caretaker. There was still a bit to like, including an incredible +22 clearance count and a winning ledger for contested ball and tackles. So the effort was there.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Zach Merrett did his best to spark the Bombers with 28 disposals and a goal, while Sullivan Robey showed patches in his 19 touches, nine clearances and six tackles. Nick Bryan competed well while Ben McKay was serviceable in his new ruck-forward role with six clearances, three tackles, 14 disposals and a goal.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>The game was really lost in the period between the 18-minute mark of the second quarter and the eight minute mark of the third when the Eagles piled on eight goals.<\/p>\n<p>Solomon said his troops lost their composure and their discipline was not where they needed it to be during that period. The forward line didn\u2019t function for the Bombers after Archie May went down with a shoulder injury in the opening term. Nate Caddy was well-held by Eagle Reuben Ginbey while Jade Gresham didn\u2019t impact on the scoreboard. <\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>D-<\/p>\n<p>JL praises record-breaking Dockers | 09:58<\/p>\n<p>FREMANTLE<\/p>\n<p>The Dockers extend their historic run to 11 straight wins after travelling to Brisbane and defeating the reigning premiers. Eagles premiership coach Adam Simpson dubbed the Dockers \u201cthe real deal\u201d in 2026 off the back of the performance, which included a six-goal third quarter burst. The Dockers piled on 15.13 off just 47 inside 50s, proving themselves efficient when given the opportunity. Fremantle took the game to the Lions, despite having -11 clearances. It means the Dockers, essentially, are now three games clear of third place, putting them in a position where \u201cit\u2019s almost certain they\u2019ll be playing a home qualifying final\u201d, according to Fox Footy\u2019s Leigh Montagna.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Shai Bolton continues to deliver in 2026, finishing with 21 touches, three tackles and an equal team-high six clearances. Matt Johnson did a brilliant job nullifying Lion Lachie Neale before ending his night early with a hamstring complaint. He racked up 20 disposals, four tackles, six clearances and a goal. But the stars of the show were the Dockers attack, where Pat Voss (four goals, eight marks, nine score involvements), Jye Amiss (10 score involvements and 4.4) and Josh Treacy (seven marks, seven score involvements and 3.1) did the damage.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>The Dockers faded late against the Lions, opening the door for the miracle comeback. Mason Cox was quiet \u2013 and finished as the only Freo player without a mark. And given Sean Darcy\u2019s rapidly approaching return, another tough selection call looms.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>A<\/p>\n<p>Scott perplexed after ARC &#8216;howler&#8217; | 13:25<\/p>\n<p>GEELONG<\/p>\n<p>Well that was unexpected. Geelong \u2014 arguably the hottest team in the AFL over the past month \u2014 was stunned on Friday night by the rampant Blues, whose pressure, troubled Geelong all night and put the Cats\u2019 backline under significant duress. After Jack Henry gave the Cats back the lead at the 27-minute mark of the final quarter Carlton captain Patrick Cripps stood tall with an inspirational mark and goal to seal a famous win.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Ollie Dempsey was a massive threat, booting two goals \u2013 and he should\u2019ve had a third \u2013 from 18 disposals and nine marks. Max Holmes was busy with 25 touches and five clearances, while Bailey Smith had 35 disposals, nine inside 50s and seven tackles. Jeremy Cameron kicked 4.3 and the Henry brothers booted four goals between them,<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>While the result was a massive upset \u2014 and plays a big role in our low grade for Geelong \u2014 the Blues played so much better than a bottom-four team on a night where the Cats were \u2018just off\u2019. They lost the clearance and contested possession counts, while the Blues also laid more tackles and, ultimately, took their moments better. Coach Chris Scott was balanced post-game, telling reporters: \u201cThis is the time to have a little bit of perspective and balance and not overreact to what was a poor performance because it is going to happen throughout the year, I suspect, to everyone. It\u2019s reality, but I don\u2019t accept it. We acknowledge that it\u2019s likely to happen but, one, we shouldn\u2019t invite it and, two, if it does happen, we shouldn\u2019t throw our hands in the air and say, \u2018It\u2019s just one of those days, boys\u2019.\u201d Individually, Shannon Neale and Patrick Dangerfield combined for just one goal and two tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>D<\/p>\n<p>GOLD COAST SUNS<\/p>\n<p>The Suns had the bye.<\/p>\n<p>Kingsley confident of GWS finals birth | 05:40<\/p>\n<p>GWS GIANTS<\/p>\n<p>A clinical and ridiculously efficient display lifted the GWS Giants to another statement win. After their monster win over the Lions last week, the Giants delivered a warning shot to the competition with another impressive and comprehensive performance against the Demons. The Giants surged by hand and were deadly accurate by foot, indicating they\u2019re a team who have perhaps turned a corner. Fox Footy\u2019s Dwayne Russell declared: \u201cThey are right back in the reckoning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Finn Callaghan produced one of his best performances for the Giants. He finished with an incredible 96.8 per cent disposal efficiency from his 31 disposals, as well as six inside 50s, 797m gained, eight score involvements and two goals. Clayton Oliver, in his first match against Melbourne since being traded to the Giants, finished with 28 disposals and 11 contested possessions, as well as game-high score involvements (8) and clearances (7). All-Australian bolter Harvey Thomas was everywhere again, Toby Greene booted 3.2 and Lachie Ash racked up 34 disposals in a prominent performance across half-back.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>Coach Adam Kingsley said his team didn\u2019t move the ball \u201cparticularly well\u201d early but was happy with how his backs defended Melbourne\u2019s repeat entries. Outside of that, hard to complain too much about that performance.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>A+<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell furious over Watson decision | 10:02<\/p>\n<p>HAWTHORN<\/p>\n<p>The Hawks\u2019 winning ways rolled on against the Saints in a dominant display. Sam Mitchell\u2019s men kept St Kilda goalless in the opening half and went on to claim a 52-point win. Hawthorn was +40 disposals on its season average, went at 80 er cent disposal efficiency and managed to clunk 18 marks inside 50 \u2013 all while resting Coleman Medal leader Jack Gunston for the final term. <\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Gunston continues to wind back the clock with a five-goal haul against the Saints \u2013 and that was before he was benched for the final term. In his place, Blake Hardwick nailed four goals in just one term in a devastating display of versatility after shifting from the backline. Nick Watson was again in everything before finishing with 21 touches, four tackles and two goals. James Sicily racked up 33 disposals and 10 marks while Will Day made a successful return to footy with 18 disposals in just 62 per cent of match time.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>Big forward Mitch Lewis finished with 3.3, but could\u2019ve punished the Saints further on the scoreboard. The Hawks coughed up 16 marks inside 50 when St Kilda swung the changes for the second half, seemingly without an answer aerially for Jack Silvagni.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>A<\/p>\n<p>King: &#8220;Punished ourselves with the ball&#8221; | 05:52<\/p>\n<p>MELBOURNE<\/p>\n<p>Melbourne produced one of its most uninspiring efforts under Steven King to date, going down to the Giants by 49 points in Alice Springs. The Dees kept themselves in it with two of the last three goals of the third term to get the margin back to 27 at three quarter-time, but they could not run with the tsunami in the last quarter as the Giants smelt blood in the water. Fox Footy\u2019s Garry Lyon said it was the Dees\u2019 \u201csteepest learning curve\u201d under King.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Jake Bowey can hold his head high, finishing with 23 disposals while going at 93 per cent efficiency by foot. Kysaiah Pickett threatened at times, booting one goal from 16 disposals, seven clearances and seven inside 50s to be Melbourne\u2019s most polished player. Jack Steele worked hard for his 25 disposals, while Brody Mihocek was the Demons\u2019 only forward 50 hope with 3.0.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>There were shades of the most frustrating times of the Simon Goodwin era as forward-half inefficiency plagued the Demons on Sunday. Despite winning the contested possessions (+11), clearance (+8) and inside 50 (+16) battles, the Dees were beaten from scores from stoppage for the first time since Round 5. Too often they bombed long inside 50, allowing the Giants\u2019 defence to enjoy a strong performance. Lyon during the call said it was \u201cas unorganised as Melbourne have looked\u201d under King, labelling their inside 50 entries \u201ca dog\u2019s breakfast\u201d. King post-match said: \u201cI haven\u2019t seen us use the ball that poorly this year, just some basic clangers really hurt us. I think I know exactly the reasons why we dropped that game so that gives us a fair bit of focus to move on with.\u201d The Demons got just one goal out of Jacob van Rooyen, Bayley Fritsch and Matthew Jefferson. Mightily lucky not to get an F.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>D-<\/p>\n<p>NORTH MELBOURNE<\/p>\n<p>The Kangaroos had the bye.<\/p>\n<p>PORT ADELAIDE<\/p>\n<p>The Power had the bye.<\/p>\n<p>Yze: &#8220;They were way too good for us&#8221; | 08:38<\/p>\n<p>RICHMOND<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to judge the Tigers harshly &#8211; matched up against arguably the competition\u2019s best team, with a 19-player injury list, on the road &#8211; but they don\u2019t get a pass for a 114-point loss. Richmond was competitive in the early stages, kicking four first-quarter goals as it tried to match the tempo of the blistering Swans, but the hosts quickly separated in the second term and offered no mercy. Adem Yze\u2019s side conceded eight and seven goals in the second and third quarters respectively, allowing Sydney to romp to the season\u2019s biggest half-time score &#8211; 15.7 (97). The young Tigers, at 2-10, now roll into a much-needed bye. <\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>It was a shallow day for the majority of Tigers at the SCG, with Jacob Hopper leading the side with 25 disposals and five clearances to be its highest-rated player, while Jack Ross led for score involvements with seven from 18 possessions, and Jasper Alger kicked a team-high three goals. <\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>Richmond was dominated for territory, generating 26 fewer entries than Sydney and allowing the Swans 10 more inside-50s than its season average. The home side also had 113 more disposals, 91 more uncontested possessions, 33 more marks, and 21 more marks inside-50. Shallow forward entries also hurt Yze\u2019s side when it was able to build the ball up in the first half, failing to find enough options in the 50-70-metre zone before kicking deep to penetrate. \u201cWhen they get the ball, I would like to see more short, sharp kicking &#8211; the ability to possess the ball, change the angles and then maybe involve some handball-receives,\u201d Jordan Lewis said on Fox Footy at half-time.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>F<\/p>\n<p>Lyon hopeful despite Hawks defeat | 09:20<\/p>\n<p>ST KILDA<\/p>\n<p>If we were judging off the first half alone, St Kilda would get an F. They went goalless in a horror half that saw them staring down a 50-point deficit at the main break, with the match effectively over. While we did see some fight from Ross Lyon\u2019s charges, it was too little, too late against a finals contender. The loss ensures St Kilda is yet to beat anyone above it on the ladder this season, with all five wins coming against four of the bottom-five sides, plus the Giants. <\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Jack Silvagni worked as a forward. After a horror goalless first half, Ross Lyon swung the changes and it was Silvagni who delivered in attack \u2013 although with wayward accuracy. The backman kicked 3.3 and took 10 marks. Max Hall continues to stand up in 2026 with 26 touches, five clearances and went at 89 per cent efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>Mattaes Phillipou came under heavy criticism from two-time premiership Roo David King for his efforts while finishing goalless. King labelled Phillipou\u2019s tackling as \u201csub AFL standard\u201d and \u201cmiles off\u201d \u2026 and he wasn\u2019t the only Saint to struggle. Isaac Keeler had moments he\u2019d like back, Tom De Koning struggled in the first half while Liam Henry went goalless from his nine disposals.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>D-<\/p>\n<p>Cox relishes &#8216;satisfying&#8217; Swans victory | 07:05<\/p>\n<p>SYDNEY SWANS<\/p>\n<p>It was a destructive performance by the second-placed Swans, rebounding from their loss to Geelong the week prior by whopping the young Tigers at home by 114 points. Sydney was \u201cunrelenting\u201d, in the words of Fox Footy caller Leigh Montagna, with its front-half pressure game simply overwhelming. Dean Cox\u2019s side forced Richmond into turnover after turnover and then repeatedly capitalised in transition en route to its highest first-half score for the year &#8211; 15.7 (97) &#8211; which was also the highest-scoring first half by any team this season. They finished on 25.20 (170), which comprised a +26 inside-50 advantage, 113 more disposals, and 91 more uncontested possessions. <\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Curnow had his best day as a Swan, piling on eight goals, including six in the first half alone. He consolidated his performance with 18 disposals, nine marks and 14 score involvements. Still, he\u2019s likely not to come away with the three votes, as Isaac Heeney was once again irresistible. The brilliant midfielder-forward booted five majors from 32 disposals, including 13 score involvements, to finish as the game\u2019s highest-rated player. Chad Warner kicked three goals from 32 touches and a game-high 15 score involvements. <\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to pick on anything after a side wins by 114 points and comes up trumps in every relevant statistical category. <\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>A+<\/p>\n<p>McQualter praises &#8216;mature&#8217; Eagles | 09:23<\/p>\n<p>WEST COAST EAGLES<\/p>\n<p>In tough conditions, West Coast was able to deliver a much-needed win that takes its tally to four before the halfway mark of the season. While belted in the clearance count (-22 to the Bombers), coach Andrew McQualter wasn\u2019t concerned after outscoring the opposition from stoppage. The Eagles had 15 more opportunities inside 50 \u2013 and still managed to take a remarkable 16 marks inside 50 despite the severe weather. <\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Milan Murdock had a day out as the WAFL recruit showed he belongs at AFL level. He finished with three goals and eight score involvements from his 19 touches. Harley Reid could have had a blinder but finished with 1.4. He was still dominant with 24 disposals and four clearances. Jake Waterman nailed 3.3 to go with his nine marks and 16 disposals while Reuben Ginbey continues to push for All Australian selection with another outstanding defensively display. He racked up 11 intercepts, three contested marks and six score involvements.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles didn\u2019t convert their dominance on the scoreboard in the opening term. Despite having all the territory, West Coast went into the first change holding just a 16-point buffer.<\/p>\n<p>Grade<\/p>\n<p>A-<\/p>\n<p>Beveridge responds to clutch mark | 12:58<\/p>\n<p>WESTERN BULLDOGS<\/p>\n<p>The return of ruckman Tim English sparked a midfield domination that the Bulldogs used to take territory over the Magpies. And while it didn\u2019t always end up on the scoreboard, there were promising signs for the Dogs\u2019 fight for finals. Despite having almost -60 disposals, the Dogs delivered with remarkable efficiency that saw them claim 15 more inside 50s. Rookie Michael Sellwood\u2019s big contested mark in the final minute ensured the Dogs got across the line \u2013 despite dominating that match against the Pies until the final term.<\/p>\n<p>In the votes<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Bontempelli may have been well clamped in the final term, but the damage was already done as he racked up 22 disposals, 15 contested possessions, a game-high nine clearances, four tackles and 1.2. Ed Richards found some form with nine score involvements, Rory Lobb had a game-high eight tackles \u2013 double the next best Bulldogs teammate \u2014 while Tim English\u2019s 16 disposals, 24 hit-outs and two goals proved the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Room for improvement<\/p>\n<p>Arty Jones started the game as the highest rated player on the ground at quarter time but faded to have just five more touches.
