Welcome to Saturday footy
Hello, good afternoon and welcome to ABC’s live online coverage of round 14 of the AFL.
Once again we have three games of Saturday footy, beginning at the MCG where Melbourne will host Essendon as the Demons try to crack the top four.
Later, we move to Perth where North Melbourne will play a “home” game against West Coast.
Finally tonight the focus will shift to Adelaide Oval, where Port Adelaide will take on the Sydney Swans.
My name is Andrew McGarry, and I will be bringing you the early stages of play today before my friend and colleague Chris De Silva takes over.
Let’s jump in!
