Bad news, Eels fans. 🫣 J'maine Hopgood is out for the season, with Parramatta confirming he suffered an ACL injury in the round three win over the Dragons. Hopgood was helped from the field just before half time after being caught in a hip drop tackle committed by Ryan Couchman. "It's really disappointing," Eels coach Jason Ryles said. "Those tackles, 99.99999 per cent of the time the boys don't mean it. It's not intentional." "But unfortunately you keep throwing fatigue into the game and you keep making them even more tired, they happen." 📻📱 Hear the #NRL live and ad-free on ABC listen: ab.co/ABCListenApp

Who will stop the Suns this season? 🌞 Gold Coast moves to the top of the ladder at 3-0 with yet another big win (margins of 56, 59 and 68 so far this season), while full forward Ben King booted seven goals from eight kicks against Richmond. Meanwhile, there were hamstring concerns for both sides with Toby Nankervis and Tom Lynch sidelined for the Tigers, while star midfielder Christian Petracca had his own hammy issue in the game. 🚑 Live blog: ab.co/4bAOmp8 Hear every AFL game live and ad-free on ABC listen: ab.co/ABCListenApp #AFL #AFLTigersSuns

1990? Not quite. But a win that’ll be spoken about for a long time Tasmania re-enters the VFL with a 17 point win over Coburg Jed Hagan is the find - 18d and 4.3 - a mid season draft chance @abcsport

Such a joy to bring @VFL to the masses via @abcsport TV & radio around the country. We intentionally went with an old-school call (lots of score updates & field position references we don't normally provide on a TV call) to ensure our radio listeners stay well informed✊🏻

Christian Petracca with ice on his hamstring. Ends his hot start to the season. @abcsport #AFLTigersSuns
