Melbourne v St Kilda, West Coast v Geelong AFL Round 12: Live updates, SuperCoach scores, teams
There are just two Sunday games in round 12 as the first weekend of the mid-season byes wraps up. But there is plenty to play for on the field, and in SuperCoach. Injuries and a host of missing bye players have made for a challenging round, but another huge score from Max Gawn could paper over a whole lot of cracks. And it could be on the cards – Gawn, who has a five-round average of 157 – scored 180 points the last time he faced the Saints, in round 11 last year. Melbourne can keep its season alive with a win, while the Saints are searching for their first win since they humbled Fremantle in round 8. In the final game of the round, Geelong travels west to face West Coast at Optus Stadium. Follow all the action and SuperCoach news in the live blog below.

From Spacey Jane to the spaceman: Our top WA photo picks from May
The members of Perth-based Wadumbah Indigenous dance group share stories of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, and taking park in a special performance this month for Reconciliation week. Here is founder James Webb's grandson striking a pose for the camera, taken with a wide lens to exaggerate the movement and draw the audience into the centre of frame. Volunteers for the STS Leeuwin II are captured here in their environment, a scene set by Fremantle's iconic cranes in the background, the morning sun hitting the container ships and the vessel's ropes. Reporter Lily Kristanto snapped this photo on the docks while volunteers were on the boat in a much lower position, so she had to position herself strategically by getting down low to achieve a balanced composition. The beloved sailing ship was on its way for major repairs after being damaged by a container ship last year. This is a close-up image of sand near the Chapman River mouth 420km north of Perth, captured using a shallow depth of field to hone in focus on a specific part of the image. The sand gets its colour from eroded rocks further inland that get carried towards the coast by the river. Crew member Stefan Ivanov is part of a four-man team rowing from Carnarvon, 900 kilometres north of Perth, to Kenya on a 9,000km journey they're hoping to complete in 75 days. The rowers, hailing from Bulgaria, Ukraine, China and the Netherlands will contribute to research at UWA, sending temperature, speed and GPS data. Mr Ivanov is pictured here ahead of the gargantuan trip, in a low-angle shot typically used to convey strength. At 74, retired psychologist Elizabeth Szczepanska has no regrets in her eventful life, which includes coming to Australia as a refugee from communist Poland. She's also had a successful sporting career in the Australian Masters Games, specialising in discus, shot-put and javelin. Her message: "Sh*t happens. Suffering is optional." US artist Brendan Murphy stands in front of his 7-metre-tall sculpture Boonji Spaceman, donated to the City of Perth. While many were excited for the astronaut's unveiling, the artwork faces opposition from supporters of the "kebab" sculpture that once stood in its place, but was taken down in 2021 after engineers deemed it unsafe. After a period of festival drought for the region, it was all smiles at triple j's One Night Stand event in Busselton — which sold out all 15,000 tickets in less than six hours, the fastest in the event's 20-year history. With band members hailing from Geraldton, Margaret River and Victoria's Wimmera region, Spacey Jane was keen to celebrate bringing live music to the regions and mark the start of their world tour. In a fast-paced and low-light environment, reporter Bridget McArthur had to use a high ISO speed of 3,200 and shutter speed of fast 1/500 to capture the lively band in motion. Perth woman Liesl Benecke holds a Guinness World Record for her 1,035-strong minion collection. The overall-clad yellow characters are from the animated film Despicable Me, and have attracted a cult following in their own right. The frame only captures a fraction of her minons memorabilia. After Labor's landslide election win on May 3, successful WA candidates hold a media conference fronted by cabinet minister Madeleine King. Among their ranks is Tom White, who snatched the northern suburbs seat of Moore from the Liberals and Josh Wilson, who kept his previously safe seat but faced a 16 per cent swing away from him towards Fremantle independent Kate Hulett. Newly elected upper house Greens MP Sophie McNeill looks off into the distance not long after finding out that the federal government has approved an extension of Woodside's North West Shelf gas project until 2070, feeling "devastated" and "speechless". The WA Greens were holding a media conference reacting to scientists' claims a report into the impact of industrial emissions on Aboriginal rock art was being misrepresented, and weren't expecting the news on the North West Shelf extension in that moment. WA's last WWII prisoner of war, Arthur Leggett, is laid to rest at a state funeral at St George's Cathedral after he died in April, aged 106. The veteran, a survivor of the infamous Lamsdorf Death March to Munich, was remembered as an Australian hero who radiated inner strength and stoicism. Roughly 1,000 people lined St Georges Terrace as a military procession made its way to the cathedral for the funeral service. Police Commissioner Col Blanch hugs the mother of deceased police officer Constable Anthony Woods after Reagan Chown was found guilty of manslaughter. The court heard Chown was high on meth when he ran over Constable Woods with a stolen car. Outside court, Commissioner Blanch described Constable Woods as a "hero". Chanti McHenry is a runner who's been selected to join the Indigenous Marathon Project squad and will be taking on the New York Marathon in six months. Ms McHenry chose Hearsons Cove in Murujuga, near Karratha in WA's north, for the shoot as it's a place she feels comfortable, and she met with reporter Mietta Adams at sunrise for the best lighting.

Bolton shines as Dockers rain on Suns' parade
Fremantle star Shai Bolton kicked three goals to get one over former mentor Damien Hardwick, inspiring his side to a hard-fought 11-point win against fast-finishing Gold Coast. Bolton showcased his elite talent in wet and wild conditions, leading the Dockers to a precious 11.9 (75) to 9.10 (64) victory at People First Stadium on Saturday. Highlighted as Fremantle's 'barometer' by ex-Richmond boss Hardwick in the build-up to the game, Bolton shone in the front half with 20 disposals. But his late tackle on Nick Holman was every bit as important, directly leading to Jye Amiss's match-sealing goal in the final 30 seconds. The Dockers had led by a game-high 20 points in the final quarter, but saw the lead trimmed to five as Gold Coast gave them a huge scare. A third straight victory put the Dockers (7-5) into the top eight, while the Suns (8-3) suffered just their third loss of the season – and their first on home turf. Caleb Serong (27 disposals, six clearances) and stand-in captain Andrew Brayshaw (30, five) were important for Fremantle, and Patrick Voss stood tall in attack with a career-best three goals and eight tackles. Luke Jackson (27 disposals, 20 hit-outs) was influential as a ruckman, and Jordan Clark (30 touches) was composed in defence. Gold Coast captain Noah Anderson was immense with game-high tallies of 39 disposals and 12 clearances.
