Gun Crows forward ruled out of Anzac Day in boost for Freo
Fogarty suffered a shoulder strain during the Crows' win over GWS last weekend, with the 25-year-old initially playing through the injury before succumbing late in the game.
Speaking on Thursday before team selection, Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks said Fogarty was still experiencing pain in his shoulder, but the club was confident his absence would be just one week.
It's a blow for the Crows' chances of earning a win at Optus Stadium, with Fogarty having booted multiple goals in each of his team's first five games of the season to set up a strong season tally of 16 before last weekend's injury-impacted outing.
Adelaide will have to adjust to the rare absence of the key forward, who has played 48 consecutive games and not missed a match for more than two years.
The Crows will be boosted by the return of tagger James Peatling from suspension, with a likely job on Caleb Serong or Andrew Brayshaw looming.

South Australia's biggest footy fan of 2025: Nominate now to prove your passion for the game
Do you barrack harder than anyone else in South Australian football crowds? Do you bleed your team's colours? It's time to put your passion to the test. The Advertiser on the hunt for the state's biggest footy fan and we're calling on all SA football tragics to nominate no matter what side they support. We've already crowned the state's top Auskicker or the year with five-year-old Crow fanatic Hugh O'Donnell refusing to share his prize with his Port supporter dad. Whether you've painted your house in club colours, not missed a game in decades or have a lucky scarf that's practically heritage-listed – we want all diehard fans to throw their guernsey in the ring. Nominate yourself or a mate who lives and breathes footy by filling out the form below. Bragging rights are up for grabs – it's time to kick some goals off the field. Nominations will close on Tuesday, July 22 at 8am with finalists being put to a vote. Find the full terms and conditions here. Could the Hooper trio be SA's biggest footy fans? They may be small, but this pint-sized cheer squad packs a big punch when it comes to footy fever. Stephen, 8, Thomas, 6, and Florence 'Flossie' Hooper, 4, are third-generation Crows tragics – proudly carrying the red, blue and gold baton handed down from their dad, Gordon, and embraced wholeheartedly by their American-born mum Ellen. 'We are a family of Crows fans because everyone in our family are Crows fans – this has been passed down through the generations,' Ellen said. And while Ellen grew up in a house of diehard New York Yankees supporters, she knew marrying into the Hooper family came with one important condition – back the Crows or bust. 'I went to a game nearly 20 years ago when I first visited Australia, and I've been converted ever since,' Ellen said. 'In my family, it would be completely unacceptable not to support the Yankees, so I can appreciate the need for me to also support the Crows.' From watching every game on television – sometimes twice if it's a big win – to packing the family into the car for AFLW matches, the Hoopers are always game-day ready. 'Daddy loves talking about when the Crows won back-to-back grand finals (in 1997 and 1998),' Flossie said. 'Dad always tries to take us to the games,' Thomas added. 'But we do watch every game on TV together.' Stephen, who plays for the Brighton Bombers, got to meet one of his footy heroes last year – and he's never forgotten it. 'I love Tex, the Fog, Keaysey and Rankine … they're my favourite,' Stephen said. 'Fogarty came to my club's training once last year and I got his autograph.' Do you know someone as footy-mad as the Hooper Trio?

Motormouth Mitch: Fremantle make emphatic statement on coach Justin Longmuir in win over Hawthorn
Fremantle made an emphatic statement to the football world in their Saturday night win over Hawthorn. The West Australian's Mitchell Woodcock takes a no-holds-barred look at the week in footy. Freo's Longmuir Statement If you believe the cliché that actions speak louder than words, then Fremantle players just screamed in everyone's face that they have belief in Justin Longmuir. Rightly or wrongly, the heat was on the Dockers coach after their defeat to Sydney last weekend which had his side slip out of the eight. North Melbourne great and AFL expert David King was the man who was strong in his conviction that given the talented list at Longmuir's disposal it was likely going to be finals or bust for the former Fremantle forward in 2025. While some experts and fans may not believe Longmuir is the man to finally take the Dockers to the promise land, there were 23 players on Saturday night who showed their cards. The win against Hawthorn is easily their best of the season and likely one of the best in Longmuir's near six-season reign as coach. It wasn't a massive victory in terms of margin, but the intent and passion with which the Dockers' played signalled they were there to not only get the four premiership points but make a statement — they believe Longmuir is their man. In front of nearly 50,000 fans at Optus Stadium the Dockers laid an incredible 103 tackles — more than 40 more than their season average. It was the intent behind these tackles that caught the eye. Every player committed to the cause, evidenced by the fact only tall forward Jye Amiss didn't lay a tackle for the home side. Gang tackles, run downs and repeated efforts typified the performance for Fremantle. Even when things weren't going their way at the final break, the Dockers didn't panic — sticking to the process that had them on top in the fourth quarter that had them on top. And when they had the ball in hand they attacked with ferocity and without fear. The sight of a bleeding Andy Brayshaw — who laid a team-high 14 tackles — doing his post-game interview is as powerful an image as they come for the Dockers faithful. Fremantle went to war on Saturday night intent on telling the world they had Longmuir's back, and the football world now knows unequivocally where they stand. This could well be a win that changes the course of this football club's future. Dockers Daicos Decision Fremantle will have little time to bask in their impressive win over the Hawks, because a Collingwood side with a bruised ego is awaiting them at the MCG. The Magpies' defeat to the Gold Coast on Friday night might be the worst thing to happen for the Dockers. Collingwood are to proud a team not to be determined to rebound strongly after their first half performance against the Suns or their inability to run them down. Add in the fact they have a nine-day break and will play at the MCG — where they've won 12 of their past 13 games — and it's going to be an uphill battle even for a confidence-filled Fremantle. Craig McRae's side has many weapons but the Daicos brothers in Nick and Josh are his most potent. And the problem for Fremantle is they must decide which one to tag because you could argue right now that Josh is in better form than his younger brother Nick — who is the favourite for the Brownlow Medal. McRae pulled the trigger and injected half-back Josh into the middle in the final quarter against the Suns and he nearly won the game for the Magpies. The 26-year-old's quarter was unbelievable. in the final term alone Daicos collected 16 disposals, 10 contested, five tackles, four clearances, 307m gained and kicked two goals. Most players would be happy with those numbers for an enitre game. Earlier this year, Corey Wagner did a brilliant job on Nick Daicos, holding him to a season-low 18 disposals. But the Dockers still lost. No one would blame Longmuir for once again looking to tag Nick, but if McRae decides to throw Josh into the first centre bounce, he may need to change his tactics. It looms as a decision that could be match-defining and in a season as tight as this, it could be the difference between the Dockers playing in September or missing finals. Beating Collingwood at the MCG would put Fremantle in not only a prime position to make finals, but a genuine top four threat. But the Dockers must find a way to stop both Daicos brothers from tearing them apart or they're going to be just another scalp for the powerhouse side at the home of football. Hidden Gems Eagle Must Uncover A lot of attention around West Coast's list build will understandably fall on the players they take with the top draft picks, players they trade in or free agents they land over the next few years. Premiership lists are not only made off these big decisions but also the hidden gems list bosses and recruiters can find with either late draft picks or as rookies. There are two players in the WAFL right now that the Eagles should be doing a lot of work. The first is West Perth big-bodied midfielder Kane Bevan . Having only just turned 21, Bevan has emerged this year as a promising talent and showed West Coast exactly what he is made of against their WAFL side on Saturday night. Against the likes of Tim Kelly and Jack Petruccelle, Bevan stood out with an incredible game that will have likely impressed recruiters across the country. The Falcons youngster kicked three goals from 33 disposals, six tackles and five clearances to be the best on ground. It is the type of performance that should have the Eagles considering Bevan for a spot on their list going forward. Bevan has power out of the contest and runs both ways. Put the young man in an AFL program and these attributes are only to get stronger while his weaknesses can be ironed out. West Coast need more big bodies around the contest and rather than looking to recycle former AFL players, players like Bevan should be prioritised. He is still young enough to have a decade-long career if the right development is put around him. Another player the Eagles should be keeping close tabs on is Claremont defender Jasper Peace. If you speak to those around the Tigers, they will confidently tell you the 19-year-old backman has the attributes to be an AFL player. Peace is strong one-on-one but can also play off his man and take intercept marks, having proved himself on some of the best WAFL forwards like Trey Ruscoe. And while he is already 89kg and 192cm, there is still some size for the young man which would help him become an AFL defender. The Eagles are needing depth down back after the sudden retirement of Jeremy McGovern and the loss of Tom Barrass to Hawthorn. Peace is the kind of player who could follow in the path of a McGovern if given the right development. And with the five-time All-Australian still around the club, there is no reason McGovern could pass on his expansive knowledge to Peace to help the fellow Claremont product out.

JHF and Harley Reid clash as tensions boil over in fiery scenes
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Two big-name No.1 picks, one tense scene on the footy field late on a Sunday night. Things got fiery between Port Adelaide's Jason Horne-Francis (Pick 1, 2021) and West Coast's Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023) during the fourth quarter of the Power's hard-fought win at Adelaide Oval. With the Eagles trailing by two points, Reid was penalised for a throw in his own defensive 50, sparking Power players — including Horne-Francis — to remonstrate with him. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. The two players exchanged words as they came face-to-face, with Reid gesturing towards — and pushing away — Horne-Francis before they were separated by teammates. 'It's sort of like they're looking in the mirror a little bit,' Fox Footy's Anthony Hudson quipped. Hawks great Dermott Brereton added: 'You've got the feeling they're going to be at each other for the next decade.' As Power veteran Travis Boak converted the set-shot goal to give Port some breathing space, Reid had more verbal spats with opponents as he came towards the bench. 'Seems to spend a lot of time talking and umpiring and into the crowd, doesn't he?' eight-time All-Austraian Mark Ricciuto said of Reid on Fox Footy. Horne-Francis played down the interaction post-game. 'I think there was a bit of heat in it at the end there, which was, I guess, I like a little bit, and I know a few of their players like (it) as well,' Horne-Francis told Fox Footy's Shaun Burgoyne. 'I think it's all part of the game, it's all in good spirit, but it was good to get over the line in the end.' Horne-Francis had just two disposals in the first quarter, but the star midfielder fired up after the first break to help turn the momentum in his side's favour. He had 10 possessions, two score assists and six inside 50s in the second quarter. With Zak Butters still lighting up Adelaide Oval, the Power brought the margin back to 11 points at half-time with a three-goals-to-one second term, with Horne-Francis kicking the first goal of the second half to help set the tone for the comeback. The two young stars had to be separated multiple times. The last-placed Eagles were rocked by the late withdrawals of Liam Ryan (personal) and Jack Graham (suspended), but Andrew McQualter's men bravely took the challenge right up to the home side, with Reid helping to lead the charge. A typically energetic Reid theatrically cupped his ear to the dismayed home fans after his superbly snapped goal in the opening term and he embraced his role as the pantomime villain in the second quarter. The 20-year-old earned jeers from the stands when he went to ground a little too easily after he was pushed following a running miss from long range. 'Harley stand up, Harley stand up … do not stage like that,' an umpired can be heard saying on the Fox Footy broadcast. Ricciuto added: 'When you stage for a free like that the umpires aren't going to give you too much next time.' Reid had a team-high 16 disposals in the first half, but didn't have quite the same influence after the main break thanks largely to the efforts of Willem Drew. — with NCA NewsWire Originally published as JHF and Harley Reid clash as tensions boil over in fiery scenes
