Star Giants forward no certainty to return
Reigning Coleman medallist Jesse Hogan is no certainty to return for GWS's blockbuster clash with Gold Coast after missing the Giants' clinical 54-point win against North Melbourne. As AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon watched on at Canberra's Manuka Oval, the Giants responded from a startling 88-point thumping by the Western Bulldogs with a clinical display on Sunday. Leading by 58 points midway through the third quarter, GWS took the foot off the pedal slightly in the 20.13 (133) to 12.7 (79) win. Callum Brown led the Giants' goal-kicking with an equal career-high five, while former Essendon and Western Bulldogs star Jake Stringer was lively with three before he was tactically subbed out in the third term. Young forward Aaron Cadman kicked four goals, moving to 42 for the season. Cadman should have finished with at least five, but missed one last quarter chance when he inexplicably played on in the goal square and was caught holding the ball. But the Giants' forward line would be even more dangerous with a return from Hogan, who has been managing a foot injury. "That'll be the plan," Giants coach Adam Kingsley said of the star forward returning to play the Suns. "He'll need to get through a couple of training sessions before that happens. "He's got a bit of work, a few boxes to tick before then." Midfielders Tom Green (25 disposals) and Finn Callaghan (31) were exceptional, ensuring North's talented on-ball brigade didn't get the Kangaroos into the contest. GWS moved to 14-7 ahead of games against Gold Coast and St Kilda to complete their home-and-away campaign. Due to their percentage, the Giants may need to win both their remaining matches to be guaranteed of playing finals. Set to finish in the bottom three, North were delighted with the debuts of Cooper Trembath and Geordie Payne. Trembath made the most of his opportunities up forward, kicking an equal team-high three goals. Trembath's family became emotional in the stands after the 19-year-old - a mid-season rookie draft selection this year - booted his first goal. Former Sydney star Luke Parker continued his impressive first season with the Kangaroos, gathering 28 possessions and a team-high nine clearances. North will have a chance to leapfrog Richmond into 16th on the ladder when they face the Tigers in Hobart next Sunday. "Every side makes them," North coach Alastair Clarkson said of the Kangaroos' frequent mistakes. "Just when you're a little bit more inexperienced, you might make a few more so that'll come with more exposure to the level. "We've got a lot of guys playing through the middle of the ground, right across the ground really, that are still learning the game, and with that comes a little bit of inconsistency."

Hawks coach confident injury-plagued star will be back
Sam Mitchell has pointed to Jesse Hogan as an example of what is still possible for injury-plagued Hawthorn star Will Day. Day has suffered more bone stress in his navicular, ending the midfielder's AFL season. With Josh Weddle already sidelined for the rest of 2025, Day's latest foot problem is a fresh blow for the Hawks as they battle to stay in the top eight. They face a massive test on Thursday night against Collingwood, who similarly need a win after dropping three of their last four games. While navicular injuries can be notoriously tough to heal and have ended AFL careers, Mitchell is upbeat about Day overcoming his foot problem. He noted Hogan has overcome navicular injuries to star at GWS. You'd never know he was gone. Will Day with a hanger! 😭#AFLHawksBlues — Hawthorn FC (@HawthornFC) July 24, 2025 "I'm 100 per cent confident that he'll be back and back consistently," Mitchell said of Day. "He's a pro and our medical team will work really hard ... Jesse Hogan's had some similar stuff in his career and he's obviously put together a pretty good few years." Mitchell added Day is coping well with this latest setback. He managed only six senior games this season. "He's not too bad, he'll be on the bench for us tomorrow night, so he's in a pretty good head space," Mitchell said. "His navicular site, where he had the surgery, looks pretty good. He has some bone stress in some other parts of his foot - it obviously changed the mechanics of his running. "It's an issue for us, trying to get him back out and ready for the season ... but he's not back to square one. "He's still a fair way through his process of getting back." While Hawthorn are coming off a loss to Adelaide, Mitchell said they are making progress as they try to match it with other top-eight heavyweights. "We want to put ourselves into a position where we play big games against big clubs and we play in a style that can compete and win those games," he said. "Now, can we compete in those games? Absolutely. Everyone watched our game against Adelaide last week and said that's two pretty good teams going at it. "You don't throw the baby out with the bath water and say we're not good enough. We need to refine a couple of things in our game and handle those moments. "You look at Collingwood's last month - it's pretty easy to say they've lost three out of four, but they've played pretty good footy. Both teams are in pretty good form without getting the points."

Greater Western Sydney wipe out optimism around West Coast Eagles with 59-point victory at Optus Stadium
West Coast had been riding a wave of optimism after their competitive performance against Collingwood only six days ago. However, a merciless Greater Western Sydney changed the tide, as the Eagles were wiped out by the famed Orange Tsunami in a 59-point defeat at Optus Stadium on Friday night. The Giants came out west without spearhead Jesse Hogan who tormented them earlier this season with a nine-goal haul. They Giants didn't miss the Coleman medallist's exploits as they romped to a 16.15 (111) to 8.4 (52) victory to rocket them back into the top eight to start the weekend. Giants star midfielder Finn Callaghan simply torched the Eagles, racking up a career-high 37 disposals, 854m gained, six clearances and a goal in a dominant display. GWS captain Toby Greene could've had a big night as well had he kicked straight, finishing with only three goals from his seven shots and 18 disposals. Midfield bull Tom Green (35 disposals and nine clearances) and Josh Kelly (27 disposals and two goals) were pivotal through the midfield. The visitors' dominance was evidenced by the fact their leading ball winner for the Eagles was defender and co-captain Liam Duggan (27 disposals). Several players who stood tall against the Magpies couldn't back it up, with Liam Baker (11 disposals), Brady Hough (18) and Tom McCarthy (19) struggling to have the same impact. West Coast seemed to have forgot their fundamentals from the first bounce, and it made the classy Giants look as if they were the Harlem Globetrotters. As was the case in round four the Eagles couldn't stop the Giants from breaking out of the contest, but to make things worse was they gave them too much space across the ground as their structure fell to pieces. The Eagles' lack of pressure was epitomised by a play when Callaghan ran through the centre square with four Eagles struggling to give chase. West Coast coach Andrew McQualter was so concerned about the Giants dominance that he sent second-gamer Jobe Shanahan from up forward to be the spare man in defence to try to stop the bleeding. Things became tense when Greene caught Harley Reid (24 disposals, seven clearances and seven tackles) high before then aggressively tossing the ball back to the youngster to finally bring the crowd into the game. It seemed to spark the Eagles who finally looked threatening offensively, with Jamie Cripps snapping their first goal of the game from deep in the right forward pocket. West Coast managed to tighten up in defence and stop the Giants from peppering the scoreboard as frequently in the second term, but their connection in attack meant the game became a stalemate. Reuben Ginbey was seemingly a one-man army down back for the Eagles, stopping several goals through great individual defensive acts. But teammates weren't helping him out, coughing up turnovers from basic errors which was putting them under immense pressure. By the main break the margin was only 35 points, but it was tough to see West Coast being able to break down the Giants' defence to make up the difference. McQualter took a risk out of half-time, subbing out their most senior tall forward in Jack Williams for debutant Malakai Champion as he tried to find a forward structure that could threaten the Giants. Things looked promising for the Eagles when Shanahan (two goals) kicked the first major of the half after laying a strong run-down tackle to kickstart the second half. All it did though was awaken the Giants, who began to once again slice the Eagles up across the ground to kick unpressured goals that left the crowd in silence. As the floodgates opened the Eagles began to lose their way with undisciplined acts and poor decision-making beginning to help the Giants hit the scoreboard with ease. Luckily for the Eagles, the Giants' radar was off in the final term, sparing them triple figure defeat despite the visitors dominating the term as the sting went out of the game. SCOREBOARD GWS 5.3, 8.6, 13.9, 16.15 (111) WEST COAST 1.0, 3.1, 5.2, 8.4 (52) Goals – GWS: T Greene 3 A Cadman 2 D Jones 2 J Kelly 2 X O'Halloran 2 T Bedford C Brown F Callagan J Riccardi J Stringer.

Giants wipe out Eagles' optimism in 59-point smashing

LIVE UPDATES: West Coast Eagles hunt second win as Greater Western Sydney come to Perth
West Coast has made steady progress across the last two months but it's time the young Eagles learnt how to win as Greater Western Sydney come to town. Malakai Champion becomes the eighth debutant as he takes the sub vest while the Eagles will shape up the same as against Collingwood across the ground. The Giants are without Coleman medallist Jesse Hogan and star midfielder Lachie Whitfield, meaning there are no All-Australians on the field tonight. Follow all the action in our live blog. The Giants claimed an 81-point victory in round four when Jesse Hogan peeled off an equal career-high nine goals. However, Hogan will miss tonight's clash alongside Lachie Whitfield who is injured. West Coast look the same across the field tonight with debutant Malakai Champion set to fly from the bench. The Eagles have been able to avoid big smashings lately but they still have just one win. It's a chilly Friday night in Perth but things are about to heat up at Optus Stadium when West Coast host Greater Western Sydney. The Eagles have named an eighth debutant this season with NGA product Malakai Champion to play as the sub after veteran wingman Jayden Hunt was dropped. Now the big question is will the Eagles be able to ride the Orange Tsumani to success or will they wipe out in another defeat? We'll soon find out with bouncedown at 6.20pm.
