Essendon seeks its first win of the 2025 AFL season against Port Adelaide, while Noah Balta faces serious legal troubles.

Essendon is set to host Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night, looking to bounce back from a challenging start to the 2025 season. Currently sitting in 16th place without a win, the Bombers are desperate to avoid further decline in the ladder. Meanwhile, Port Adelaide, positioned at 11th, is eager to build on their recent victory over Richmond. This match is crucial for both teams, with Essendon aiming to turn their fortunes around while Port Adelaide seeks to extend their winning streak.

The game kicks off at 7:30 PM AEDT and fans can catch all the action live on Fox Footy or stream it via Kayo Sports. In other news, Richmond Tigers defender Noah Balta has pleaded guilty to an assault charge, facing a potential five-year prison sentence. Balta has been suspended for four matches by his club, but the prosecution argues that this punishment is insufficient. Additionally, the SANFL is hosting the Gather Round Sprint, a community event where footballers compete in a 70-meter dash for prizes, adding to the excitement of the AFL Gather Round festivities in the Barossa region.
