G'day, and welcome back to ABC Sport's live blog coverage of the 2025 AFL season. We wrap up round nine today with three very different games, something for everyone perhaps. First up it's Richmond and West Coast at the MCG. On paper it might not set the pulses racing but when you pit two young teams against each other, two sides not expected to win more than a small handful of games all year, sometimes you get fireworks.

Hello, and welcome back to ABC Sport's live blog coverage of the 2025 AFL season. We've got four big games for you to savour today, kicking off at the MCG and culminating in an unmissable Showdown in Adelaide. First up are Melbourne and Hawthorn, two sides who are no stranger to this arena. The Demons have found some form with three wins in a row coming in to this game while Hawthorn's big wins over West Coast and Richmond put the Hawks back on track.

Good evening and welcome to ABC Sport's live AFL coverage!Round 9 continues this evening with what shapes up as an excellent contest between St Kilda and Carlton. The Saints are riding high after an impressive beatdown of Fremantle last week, while the Blues are hoping to bounce back after being thumped in Adelaide. This has the potential to be an eight-pointer, given both teams currently sit outside the top eight and are in close proximity with each other on the ladder.

Good evening and welcome to ABC Sport's live AFL coverage!We are already at Round 9 of the season would you believe and things kick off tonight in Perth as Fremantle hosts Collingwood. Both teams are coming off losses last week, but the vibes are distinctly more grim for the Dockers, who were abysmal against the Saints last week. The pressure is on Freo coach Justin Longmuir and he'll hope to have his side bounce back at home tonight.

Essendon forward Harrison Jones says his horrific-looking ankle injury has turned out better than first feared, but it remains to be seen how long he'll be out of action. Jones, Jordan Ridley (hamstring) and Jade Gresham (adductor) were injured on Thursday night in a costly 9.11 (65) to 9.8 (62) victory for the Bombers over North Melbourne. The Kangaroos were also left counting the cost, with defender Jackson Archer set to miss some eight weeks with a high grade left hamstring strain.

Lmao Ligue 1 is such a stupid league
🚨 Official: The Ligue 1 Team of the Year. https://t.co/3cBGhA2Qgl
They’ve got to be so careful this calf thing doesn’t turn into an Achilles. I’d rather lose this series in five and Mitchell be healthy next season rather than make it to the ECF but he blows his Achilles in the next round. Particularly for a guy who relies on his explosion…
Cavs’ Donovan Mitchell to undergo MRI on Monday, says he ‘will be good’ for Game 5 vs. Pacers — but calf strains are dangerous, @TheAthleticNBA https://t.co/1gwgb3t0eC
If we’re talking 3-1 comeback probability, it’s a lot easier when you’ve got two of the three at home. Rest up (hopefully Donovan is OK), the one positive today is Darius caught a bit of a rhythm. Protect home court and win one road game. Not impossible
It’s unsurprising the Cavs had a game like this in the series (how bad it was is surprising). They went balls to the wall in G2&3 & are quite banged up. The original sin is losing G2. If they were up 2-1 before tonight, you can live with it. But G2 loss led to 0 margin for error
