    St Kilda coach Ross Lyon says he’ll have to “have some conversations” with players who would have to own their “non-competitive” performance during Sunday’s crushing 71-point loss to the Western Bulldogs which brought the red-hot Saints back down to earth.

    Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has overseen an unconvincing start to the 2025 season. Photo: AFL MEDIASeason 2025 might only be six rounds old, but there are already some very big question marks surrounding Fremantle’s mental toughness and, by extension, its top-eight legitimacy.

The Gold Coast coach had a hard night at the office as the Suns crashed to an 11-point loss to the Tigers at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night and Allan may have been the perfect outlet for the premiership-winning coach to vent his frustration.

What a victory from Geelong. No Stewart or Henry against one of the most formidable attacking units in the comp and giving up a 5-goal head start! A massive reality check for the Crows. Still a way to go before being considered one of the big boys #AFLCrowsCats
