Live: Cats and Hawks pack the MCG for Easter Monday blockbuster

G’day, and welcome back to ABC Sport’s live blog coverage of the 2025 AFL season. We’ve got one of the marquee fixtures of the year on our hands today, with Geelong and Hawthorn set to lock horns at the MCG in the traditional Easter Monday clash.

We’re expecting a massive crowd in on what looks to be a perfect Melbourne afternoon, for a game between two of the league’s heavy hitters. I’m not sure you could ask for much more. So keep the blog handy as we take you through all the action from siren to siren and beyond.
