And just like that, we're down to two! A monster Grand Final between Sydney and Brisbane is on our doorstep. Keep up to date with all of the fixtures, games, news, tips, odds, results, reaction, and video as they come to hand.

The Swans last played in a grand final in 2022, but lost to the Geelong Cats. The Lions won the two previous grand finals in 2002 and 2001. They made it to the grand final last year, but lost to Collingwood.

Remarkably it will be a 125-year rematch (of sorts), as the last time the Swans and Lions faced off for the flag was the 1899 VFL Grand Final, back when both clubs were based in Victoria as South Melbourne and Fitzroy respectively.

For the first time since 2006 two non-Victorian teams will contest the AFL Grand Final at the MCG, and flights and accommodation are as much of a battle as tickets.

Seven of our sports team — Tim Michell, Josh Barnes, Callum Dick, Lachlan McKirdy, Shannon Gill, Ed Bourke and Tarquin Oakley — combined forces to rank the 25 Grand Finals which have been played since 2000. Will this weekend deliver another nailbiter?

The AFL grand final is a “great week” for Victoria's capital city, says Melbourne Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece.“The restaurants are full; the pubs are full,” Mr Reece told Sky News Australia.“Spring is in full effect.

Virgin Australia are the official airline of the AFL and are giving one lucky winner and their plus one the chance to get to Melbourne to watch the 2024 Toyota AFL Grand Final!

Brisbane Lions fans know the drill, but that won’t make grand final week any less nerve-racking as they prepare to take on the Swans in the AFL decider on Saturday.
