Keep up to date with all of the fixtures, games, news, tips, odds, results, reaction, and video as they come to hand.

MCG, 2:30pm (AEST)

Team news: There are selection headaches for both sides this week, but for different reasons. Chris Fagan has already confirmed he is unwilling to play ruckman Oscar McInerney in the Grand Final after he dislocated his shoulder twice during the win over the Cats last week. It leaves the door open for Darcy Fort to play his first game since Round 7, if of course Fagan elects to go like-for-like. For the Swans, captain Callum Mills missed the prelim final after injuring his hamstring two weeks ago, and may find it tough to get back in, while Taylor Adams appears likely to miss two straight Grand Finals. Key forward Logan McDonald was subbed off last week and ended his night with ice on his ankle, but it's unclear how severe the ailment is.
