The ESPN Footy Podcast team discuss the premiership medallion ceremony, and plead with Brisbane and Sydney players to not snub the Auskick kids. (1:11)

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.


SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28

Sydney Swans vs. Brisbane Lions

MCG, 2:30pm (AEST)

Team news: There are selection headaches for both sides this week, but for different reasons. Chris Fagan has already confirmed he is unwilling to play ruckman Oscar McInerney in the Grand Final after he dislocated his shoulder twice during the win over the Cats last week. It leaves the door open for Darcy Fort to play his first game since Round 7, if of course Fagan elects to go like-for-like. For the Swans, captain Callum Mills missed the prelim final after injuring his hamstring two weeks ago, and may find it tough to get back in, while Taylor Adams appears likely to miss two straight Grand Finals. Key forward Logan McDonald was subbed off last week and ended his night with ice on his ankle, but it's unclear how severe the ailment is.

ESPN tip: Swans by 17 points

Pointsbet odds: Swans $1.73, Lions $2.10
