The AFL has told Adelaide it doesn't want to see a repeat of Ben Keays' actions on Friday night - instructing a Crows fan in the crowd to keep the ball from the Dogs in the 4th term. It wasn't a formal warning - but could escalate if it becomes a trend. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

@RalphyHeraldSun So many questions of the AFL. Unless the clock stopped for 30 secs earlier in the quarter, how is that possible? And if the on-screen clock isn’t the official TK clock but merely a guide for TV, why does the siren always align exactly with the clock hitting zero – as it did here?

GWS was told during the third quarter this timeclock issue didn’t actually see time removed from the second quarter. But the AFL has commissioned a full technical review of the timekeeping issue

The vanishing 30 seconds in the St Kilda Giants game in a weekend of timekeeping confusion. Where did it go? Hall kicks the goal with 33 seconds left, time goes to double zeroes, the half time siren sounds immediately at the next centre bounce 👇heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/30-s…

@RalphyHeraldSun @RalphyHearaldSun The same thing happened in the 3rd quarter the clock went from 9:40 to 12:36 and was never fixed. The @AFL is fixing the games and it’s never been more blatant.

@LongMacVampyr Robbo was the reason I used to watch it. Frankly I still can’t believe they got rid of him.

Does anyone even watch AFL 360 anymore? lol Are all the people who were clamoring for Robbo to get fired tuning in to it still?

@JonathanJWalsh I reckon Adam Saad at the kick-in bounced it when he was still in the goal square on Thu 😀

Brisbane has officially experienced its first-ever Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Thank you to the cast for bringing the energy, and to the audience for creating the electricity. It’s time to get ready to do it all again, and we can’t wait!

Redland-Victoria Point are QAFL premiers for the first time after a 14.11 (95) to 8.9 (57) victory over Surfers Paradise in the Grand Final this afternoon. Matt Hammelmann won the Joe Grant Medal, kicking nine goals @AFLQ

@RalphyHeraldSun So from now it would seem that every suspension handed out can be countered by medical testimony about the impact of the said suspension on the player involved.

The league did not take into account the fact finals games were more important than home and away clashes (or the Snoop Dogg defence!) but was swayed by compelling medical testimony about the impact of the ban on Rankine and future ramifications in reducing its 5 weeks to 4 👇
SuperFooty (AFL)@superfooty

Five days after Crows star Izak Rankine delivered a homophobic slur to a Collingwood opponent, the AFL has handed down its sanction. DETAILS | bit.ly/4lGJqCj

@MarkGottlieb Coming through the QAFL – winning four B&Fs at Broadbeach along the way – before going on to AFL success, is an inspiration for other young Queenslanders.

The recruitment of Charlie Cameron and Lachie Neale is the catalyst for Brisbane becoming a powerhouse but that club was on its knees with Zorko took over the captaincy from Dayne Beams - no player was more instrumental in changing the club’s culture to a winning one.

Dayne Zorko reaching 300 games after debuting at 23yo is an incredible story. Love him or hate him (and fans certainly do both with equal measure) he’ll go down as one of the modern greats. - Premiership 🥇 - 2x All-Australian 🧥 - 5x B&F 🏆 - 2x Club leading goal kicker 🏉
Josh Gabelich@JoshGabelich

Dayne Zorko has signed a one-year contract extension ahead of his 300th game on Sunday. The 36-year-old is locked in at the @brisbanelions for 2026 @AFLcomau tinyurl.com/56a7dsr7

@gcsun01 @AFL Well, each game is assigned a home team and an away team, and in the vast majority of cases the home team is the team that authentically uses that ground as its home base. So, although not perfect, I’d have to say it really is a home-and-away season.
