Good evening, and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2024 AFL season. Tonight we’re under the Docklands roof as the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane continue their respective bids to keep the pressure on the top-eight sides above them.
In fact, a win tonight would put the Dogs into the eight thanks to their strong percentage. Given the heat put upon the club only a few short weeks ago, that would represent significant progress.
But last year’s grand finalists aren’t done with their own late charge for September, and the Lions know 50-50 games like this are absolutely crucial if they want to find a path to the finals themselves.
Plenty on the line, plenty of quality on the field. Should be a good one.
