Last and long weekend of September

The AFL Grand Final League is held every year in the last week of September. There is an official announcement of a Friday Holiday that coincides with Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, it is called the grand weekend of the AFL Grand Final.

The numinous Ground MCG

One of the oldest stadiums for football matches for Victorians is Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG) in Australia. The opening and other matches can be played in other locations or venues, but the Grand Final has its fixed venue.

Final Day Grand Parade

This is the most important and enjoyable event of the grand final. A huge crowd was seen in the stadium and outside the street to cheer the players. The fans wear the shirts of a similar colour theme to their teams and also wear bands. Very loud music is played. You should never miss this event.

Starting with the National Anthem

After the parade, the players of both teams are arranged in rows and their National Anthems are played. This is the most spiritual event for the fans and players. The fans are very enjoying the presence of their favourite players. This moment is full of enthusiasm and pleasure.

The Premium Cup Presentation

This ceremony is so awesome from the rest of the events in the Grand Final. The Premium Cup is made up of pure silver material. The name of the winning team and the club name are also mentioned on the cup.

All the players of the winning team are awarded with medals. The award is also announced for the best player on the ground. This medal is commonly known as the ‘Norm Smith Model’.

  Cup Holding

This is the very exciting moment of the winners in which the cup is holding by the Captain and Coach of the team collectively. The remaining team is crying with full pleasure.

Final Sessions Rituals

In the Grand Final, rituals are performed in the Brownlow Medal ceremony. In this ceremony, there are awards for the fairest and best player of the season. This is part of the broader Finals Season alongside team dinners, media build-up, and historical reflections.
