'Social Talk' is back again in what is yet another week with plenty happening.
Here's what's made news on the socials this week:
Blues co-captain Sam Docherty revealed on Instagram this week that his testicular cancer had recurred.
The heartbreaking news had many in the AFL and wider community post their support and care toward Docherty, who is now set to undergo chemotherapy.
All the best, Sam 💙
His former club, his fellow co-captain and North Melbourne's Ben Cunnington were just some of those close to Sam that posted their wishes to the Blues defender.
Josh Kelly was finally able to end any speculation surrounding his future, triggering the eight-year extension in his contract to remain at the Giants.
While some fans from Victorian clubs - namely North Melbourne - were disappointed in the news, Greater Western Sydney were by far the happiest account on Twitter.
This week saw a number of players announce their retirements from the game.
Former Carlton captain Marc Murphy announced his 300th game in the navy blue will be his last, ending an illustrious career for the Blues.
Fremantle veteran Stephen Hill, Port Adelaide midfielder Tom Rockliff and Essendon swingman Paddy Ambrose were also among those to hang up the boots.
The highly-anticipated Carter Report on Tasmania's future in the AFL was released, leaving mixed feelings among locals of the Apple Isle.
With the chief suggestion that a current AFL club is better of relocating, many were quick to question the report.
It seems Tasmanians will be happier to wait in order to gain the 19th license in the league.
Following the Suns' win over Carlton last weekend, Gold Coast forward Jacob Townsend fronted the media after his maiden match with the Queensland club.
Townsend stood brave to chat with Fox Footy's Kath Loughnan after previously turning down media interviews due to his stutter and speech impediment and was exceptional in the interview.
Awesome work Jacob.
