The AFL is showing a united front coming together as a collective voice across this weekend’s round of matches to stand against the national crisis of gender-based violence in Australia.

Across all nine Toyota AFL Premiership matches this weekend, our clubs, players, coaches, umpires and administration will come together to pay tribute to the women who have lost their lives to gender-based violence. 
 
Ahead of the start of each match, players, senior coaches and umpires will come together in the centre of the ground to form a linked circle and pay a silent tribute to those women who have lost their lives. 

This begins tonight with Showdown 55 between Port Adelaide and Adelaide, we take a look at that game. No room in the line up of the Powers for Jeremy Finlayson. The round will finish with the Q-Clash, there's no love-lost between these 2 sides either.
