Good evening and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2026 AFL season. And if you like Friday night footy, I’ve got good news for you.
We’ve got two – count them, TWO – games for you to enjoy tonight, with Sydney and Collingwood kicking us off and Gold Coast and Port Adelaide (Yartapuulti for Sir Doug Nicholls Round) up in Darwin getting underway not long after.
Plenty to look forward to then! Big games with big implications. Henry and Hanson and I will be here all night to bring them to you.
