Carlton has secured its sixth consecutive win, with a stunning 14.9 (93) to Collingwood's 10.16 (76), beating the ladder-leading Collingwood by 17 points. The victory was boosted by a five-goal second half from Charlie Curnow, propelling Carlton to the fifth spot on the ladder. However, the win had a bitter taste as Adam Cerra, the Blues' standout midfielder of the first half, was pulled out due to a hamstring issue. Despite this setback, Carlton's defensive organization eventually quelled Collingwood's early onslaught.
In an unexpected turn of events, Fremantle broke its four-game losing streak, dealing a significant blow to Geelong's AFL finals aspirations with a seven-point win at GMHBA Stadium. Geelong looked set for the win when Isaac Smith scored late in the final quarter. However, incredible goals from Michael Frederick and Lachie Schultz tipped the scale in favour of Fremantle, leading to their 10.11 (71) to 9.10 (64) victory. Geelong's loss was compounded by a hamstring injury to Mark Blicavs and possible injury to Tom Hawkins.
Greater Western Sydney Giants overcame a 35-point deficit in the third quarter to pull off an impressive comeback against the Western Bulldogs, with a thrilling five-point victory in the AFL. Toby Greene, the Giants' captain, played a crucial role by scoring four goals in the third quarter and a decisive one in the final quarter. The triumph, a record-breaking seventh consecutive win for the Giants, significantly influenced the standings for the top eight, with the Giants moving up to fifth place, and the Bulldogs sliding down to seventh.
The Gold Coast Suns broke a nine-game losing streak against Brisbane with a 41-point victory at Heritage Bank Stadium. The upset, largely credited to star players like Ben King, Touk Miller, and Noah Anderson, saw the Suns dominate their opponents from the start. King scored five goals, while Miller and Anderson led the midfield. Despite attempts from the Brisbane Lions to reverse their fortunes, the Suns' aggressive defensive intensity kept them ahead. The victory, the Suns' first QClash win since 2018, brought their win-loss record to 9-10 and dented Brisbane's hopes for a top two finish.
