Welcome to Thursday night football
Hello, good evening and welcome to ABC’s live online coverage of round 15 in the AFL.
The round kicks off tonight – and what a way to start!
We head to Perth Stadium for the match of the round, with top of the table Fremantle hosting on third-placed Geelong.
There are lots of big forwards who might be looking at a few goals this evening, and a few small forwards who might be getting snap-happy from the pockets as well.
My name is Andrew McGarry, and I will be bringing you all the action tonight.
Let’s jump in!
