Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2024 AFL grand final between Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions. All signs point to this being a classic encounter with the weather playing its part and the two best sides of the season set to battle it out.
As the first premiership decider since 2006 without a Victorian side on the grand stage, fans have flocked from interstate as much as the local Melbourne suburbs for the match at the MCG. The streets were packed with fans of both persuasion for the grand final parade yesterday and more than 100,000 fans will be watching on today.
