AFL round 23 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from Optus Stadium

Jonathan Brown loved the evolution he saw in the Dockers tonight.

“The physicality of the Fremantle Dockers, I haven’t seen this at this level,” Brown said on Kayo Sports.

“I know they’re on top of the ladder, and they’ve been fantastic all year, but they’ve gone up another level tonight.

“They’ve brought the physical heat.

“Izak Rankine is keeping Adelaide in the game at the moment … but Adelaide need to match the Fremantle Dockers with the physicality they’ve shown in this first half.”
