G’day, and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2024 AFL season.
Round eight comes to a head today with a series of intruguing games, with perhaps the very best saved for last. Richmond at the MCG will be a challenge for a Fremantle team still firmly in finals contention, while the Western Bulldogs simply must win and win well against the Hawks down the road at Docklands.
Then it’s up to the Gabba for a QClash to savour. Brisbane is bidding to keep its season alive against a Gold Coast side ready to make a statement and prove it is ready to take the next step.
Strap yourself in, it’s going to be another big day.
