How ‘a pair of footy nerds’ unlocked Shai Bolton’s X-factor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shai Bolton swerved like a waterskier from the corner of the centre square. He slid past Geelong players as they clutched at the air in an attempt to stop him. Then the footy flew 60 metres from his boot as though launched from a ski-jump, and sailed through the goals. It was the moment in Friday night’s win over Geelong that reminded everyone Bolton has returned to his best in Fremantle colours in 2026. Former Dockers’ great Michael Walters laughs when he recalls the moment when his friend and
Giant decision: Greene makes call to come back to Victoria (opens the original)

Essendon asked the AFL for help. It won’t be in the form of early draft picks (opens the original)

The 45-year-old McVeigh was in the coaches’ box as the Swans defeated North Melbourne in an emotional encounter at the SCG but will be in Melbourne to make a final presentation to the board before his appointment is confirmed, according to two industry sources who spoke on the conditio
‘Faceless’ foes to face off as Carlton and St Kilda scrap for wildcard spot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There will be plenty of familiar faces on both sides when Carlton take on St Kilda at Marvel Stadium in what is arguably the most consequential clash between the two clubs since the 1972 preliminary final. Liam Stocker will be donning a Saints jumper for his 100th AFL game when he lines up alongside other ex-Blues Jack Silvagni and Tom De Koning, while former Saint Blake Acres will wear the No.13 Carlton jumper Stocker wore in his 28 matches with Carlton. Another win under interim coach Josh Fra
