The Sydney Swans look to stay in touch with Fremantle as they host St Kilda at the SCG to kick off Sunday football.
Later, we have another Sunday night fixture ahead of the King’s Birthday holiday, with an Essendon outfit – under the spotlight over their coaching vacancy for 2027 – facing old rivals Carlton at the MCG.

Welcome to Sunday footy
Hello, good afternoon and welcome to ABC’s live online coverage of round 13 of the AFL.
Unlike other weeks, this is not the end of the round today, given the much-anticipated King’s Birthday game (and the Big Freeze) between Melbourne and Collingwood.
What we do have are two games, starting with an SCG encounter between the high-flying Sydney Swans and St Kilda.
Later on, we will have another edition of Sunday night footy, as Essendon hosts Carlton at the MCG.
My name is Andrew McGarry, and I will be bringing you today’s action.
Let’s jump in!
