Hello and welcome to the final live blog of the AFL men’s 2023 home and away season.

It’s going to be an exciting day, footy fans, where final ladder standings will be known be the end of it.

Will GWS be able to sneak into the top eight with a win over Carlton and knock the Western Bulldogs down to ninth place?

Currently, the Giants and the Dogs sit equal on points on the ladder but the Bulldogs a rung higher on percentage. That could change come nightfall.

It’s a tough task for our Western Sydney team, however, as the Blues have won the last nine games in a row and seem to be on a mighty roll. The Giants with some momentum in their back pocket too though, after that 126-point demolition against Essendon last week (remember that?).

But before we get to that, we’ve got Sydney hosting Melbourne at the SCG.

The Demons are already locked in for top four, the Swans in top eight, so the result doesn’t change too much, except who they’ll play in September.

A big day ahead! Get the snacks ready.

Let’s do this.
