Charlie Cameron kicked the first goal of the 2026 AFL grand final.

He snapped home the first major from 35 metres out directly in front, getting himself to the fall of the footy and duly converting.

It came after Pat Voss missed a golden opportunity at the other end, fending off before missing a banana to the near side.

Moments later, he set up Cam Rayner and has been all over Fremantle's Judd McVee early.

Josh Treacy immediately responded to Cameron's goal with a strong mark and conversion from outside 50.

Rain has started to fall and it is wet underfoot in the early stages of the grand final.
