AFL round 18 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from Marvel Stadium

Yuin-Mutti Mutti man Mason Watts led Collingwood onto the field this evening playing the yidaki, better known as the didgeridoo.

Watts did a great job of hitting his notes with Nick Daicos and his men right behind him and smoke billowing from the tunnel.

The Magpies are playing Indigenous hurlers in this match because Scott Pendlebury’s record-breaking game and golden runs came while they were supposed to be wearing the Indigenous hurlers’ jersey.

As this match coincided with NAIDOC week, which celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, they chose to wear it tonight, as did North Melbourne.
