00:00 Well, the two teams have retreated now to their respective camps.
00:05 The Pies, they will get to sleep at home in their own beds tonight.
00:08 The Lions, they are cooped up in their team hotel.
00:11 It's not long to go now until the AFL Grand Final, just one sleep.
00:15 But I can tell you, there's still plenty of fans heaving here at Yarra Park where the
00:20 footy festival is well and truly underway.
00:22 We've just had the Grand Final parade not long ago and there was a lot of Pies supporters.
00:27 They were out in full force as they saw their beloved team for the final time ahead of the
00:32 Grand Final tomorrow.
00:33 They did drown out the Lions supporters, but we do know that the Lions supporters have
00:36 travelled in full force and we have had the final chance to get these teams, hear from
00:42 these teams for the final time.
00:44 Of course, the captains, the coaches, they were both very relaxed.
00:48 The teams, they were presented to the stage to all the fans where the two captains got
00:54 their hands on that premiership trophy and just one captain will get to lift it in front
00:58 of the crowd tomorrow.
00:59 As for the final press conference, well, we heard from the captains and the coaches for
01:04 the final time.
01:05 There was a few jokes cracked.
01:07 They also traded kind of their respective congratulations for making it this far to
01:12 the final day in September.
01:14 Here's a little bit of a snippet of what the two coaches had to say ahead of the game tomorrow.
01:20 Each game represents something differently, but this opposition clearly a potent attack
01:24 and we're going to have to defend the ground well as well.
01:26 We've been sort of close to getting to the big dance a few times, but not close enough.
01:32 So to get there is just a tremendous reward for everybody at the footy club, not just
01:37 me, but the players, the staff, everybody who's done the hard yards.
01:42 So the conditions, well, it's been beautiful here in Melbourne.
01:45 It's expected to be just like this tomorrow.
01:48 You'd have to say that will play into the Brisbane Lions' hands.
01:51 This is Queensland-like, this weather at the moment.
01:55 So what we do know is that it's going to be very hot when the ball is bounced at 2.30
02:01 tomorrow.
02:02 But as for who wins, well, we'll just have to wait and find out.
02:06 Melbourne fully embracing another grand final week.
