A September 26 post sharing ABC News' live blog says Brisbane beat Fremantle 96–89 to secure a third consecutive AFL premiership. It describes a comeback from 17 points down with under five minutes left and says Fremantle's Shai Bolton won the Norm Smith Medal.

Billboard reports that Kylie Minogue delivered a career-spanning, 20-minute set at the grand final, joined by G Flip, William Barton and Dom Dolla, with hits and pyrotechnics.
