Good evening and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2024 AFL season. And we have something fantastic for you tonight.
In one of the most anticipated games of the season so far, Carlton and Collingwood meet at the MCG under the Friday night lights for a game steeped in history and pivotal for the future. The Blues are bruised but tonight they can convince themselves again that they are on the right track with a big-name scalp, while the Pies’ faltering title defense could get a big boost with a win here.
We have two clubs that don’t like each other and two teams full of some of the best and most watchable players in the game. I shudder to think how many will be crammed into the MCG tonight. I couldn’t be better prepared for an unforgettable game, so keep each other more company for everything that lies ahead tonight.
