Live: High-flying Swans tackle dangerous Blues in traditional Marn Grook match at the SCG

Good evening, and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2024 AFL season. Tonight we have a big game and a special occasion, as Sydney host Carlton in the now-traditional Marn Grook game at the SCG.

This fixture is now a feature of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, which kicked off in Darwin last night. This year this match doubles as a really significant clash between two sides with their eyes on the biggest prize of all this year.

There’s so much to be excited for tonight as the Swans and Blues do battle, so stick around and keep me company as we enjoy every last minute of it here in the blog.
