It's season over for the Western Bulldogs but game on for GWS, as the Giants beat Carlton at Docklands to grab the last finals spot - in better news for the Blues, Charlie Curnow wins the Coleman Medal. Follow our live AFL ScoreCentre.
Elimination final: Carlton vs SydneyWith his former Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson watching on from the stands, Franklin and his wife Jesinta walked around the stadium holding their two children, as Swans fans got a chance to give the superstar and future AFL Hall of Famer a proper sendoff.
The margin wasn't quite great enough for GWS to earn a home final as they finished seventh on percentage behind St Kilda, who they will face in an elimination final in Melbourne. The GWS captain returned with bandaging around his head and was one of his side's best in the crucial triumph, which secured a top-eight spot in Adam Kingsley's first season as coach.
Melbourne surged into the finals with their seventh victory in eight matches as returning forward Bayley Fritsch fired in a 21-point triumph over Sydney at the SCG. Fritsch looked sharp throughout and finished with five goals despite spending periods on the interchange bench receiving treatment on his foot before playing out the match.
