AFL

One of the country’s most powerful leagues has made an 11th-hour call after a dramatic investigation.

As they enter Friday night’s preliminary final clash against Fremantle without captain Callum Mills and vice-captain Isaac Heeney, the Swans have made a call on who’ll be stand-in skipper.

‘There are some moments that change you forever.’

Adelaide star and skipper Jordan Dawson has taken to Instagram to expose vile social media abuse sent to him by a footy fan in the wake of the Crows’ semifinal loss to Brisbane.

AFL great Matthew Lloyd has issued a mea culpa over calling for Fremantle to drop Pat Voss after the forward starred in their semifinal win over Geelong.

Set up to fail, starved of cash and cursed by an anchor. Fremantle is bracing for its wildest party since the America’s Cup.

‘It’s all I’ve wanted. What a bloke.’

The astronomical offer is being called the biggest in AFL history.

The footy world is still in shock by the call while Geelong coach Chris Scott has explained his reaction.

Wharfie Time is BACK! Re-live how the crowd - and Dockers players - reacted when the phenomenon returned at a crucial stage, and see what Pat Voss said about his crafty late tactic to ice the game.

Luke Jackson has written himself into Fremantle folklore with a third quarter that will be spoken about for decades to inspire an epic semifinal victory.

It seemed unfathomable 5-6 weeks ago. The Dockers were red-hot and a preliminary final seemed inevitable. This is a cut-throat game now against a very experienced, supremely-coached Cats side.

The Josh Fraser era’s big cleanout has now claimed nine victims in two days.

The club’s blunt response comes as trade rumours erupt.

Fremantle defender Brandon Walker won’t play in Friday night’s semifinal clash against Geelong. See who Justin Longmuir has confirmed as his replacement here!

‘Fans hate the thought of it, they hate it.’

The Blues have made seven list changes and farewelled a coach as the club undergoes major change.
