Good afternoon, and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2024 AFL season. I hope you’re braced for what could be one of the best Saturdays of the season.
We kick things off in Sydney, where the Swans and Giants pause their war of words to engage in an on-field battle where tensions will be high and the spoils for the victor significant. Two of the league’s very best teams will throw everything at each other today in a game set to be unmissable.
Then we head to Docklands where St Kilda try to bounce back against a North Melbourne side desperate for a maiden win.
Tonight, Melbourne and Geelong play what very well may be a grand final preview at the MCG and West Coast’s resurgence will be put to the test by an Essendon side with September firmly in their sights.
It’s going to be a hell of a day, so keep this blog handy as myself and Kyle Pollard lead you through it all.
