The AFL is pleased to announce the umpiring panel for the 2024 Toyota AFL Grand Final between Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Lions at the MCG this Saturday

In typical understated fashion, All-Ireland winner Conor McKenna would rather the focus be on his Brisbane Lions teammates instead of himself when he walks out in front of 100,000 supporters in the AFL Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday.

Some corporate tickets for the sold-out AFL grand final have been illegally downloaded, forcing the league to cancel the barcodes on impacted tickets. Victoria Police and the AFL’s integrity unit are investigating unauthorised access to the corporate hospitality tickets across the AFL Event Office platform.

More than 400,000 people will attend AFL grand final events in Melbourne, despite it being contested by two interstate teams for the first time in two decades.

Sky News Weather Reporter and Meteorologist Rob Sharpe has revealed the weather will be “perfect” for footy fans in Melbourne this Saturday for the highly anticipated AFL Grand Final.
