Grand Final Parade

Melbourne is in the midst of the grand final fever today. There was the grand final parade this morning follows by the big day tomorrow at the MCG.

The streets were full of interstate visitors from Perth and Sydney to support their teams the Westcoast Eagles and the Sydney Swans who will be playing for the premiership this year.

The parade started with the next generation of football players.

There will always have bands in every parades!

How can you have football without beer and lots of it!

All the teams that played in the AFL have their flags carried in the parade even if they didn't make it into the final.

This is what everyone is playing so hard for. The holy grail of the AFL carried like the ark of the covenant!

Here comes the mascots from the other teams; Melbourne Demon, Adelaide Crow and the Western Bulldog!

Then there's more band..

Then finally what the supporters were here for, the football players from both teams. The Westcoast Eagles came out first, sitting in the back of these Toyota Hilux.

Followed by the Sydney Swans with their mascot leading the way.

This is Adam Goodes of the Sydney Swans who won this year's Brownlow Medal for the fairest and best player in the AFL competition this year. Hey Adam, don't you know you shouldn't stick your tongue out when you're being photographed?

Here comes the rest of the team.
