The AFL Grand Final is the number one professional Australian Rules game of the year and sees the league’s two premier teams face off in a Premiership decider.
Traditionally held on a Saturday afternoon in late September or early October the AFL Premiership Grand Final takes place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Victoria and is officially the most popular Australian sporting event of the year.
The MCG has hosted the Grand Final AFL / VFL match from 1902 – 1941; 1946- 1990; and 1992 – now, meaning the game has been played at a different venue on just 10 occasions since 1898. In 2021 the AFL Grand Final was played in Perth due to COVID-19 restrictions in Melbourne.
Each season the AFL Grand Final winners are awarded the AFL Premiership Cup and Premiership Flag, plus every player in the winning team is presented with a gold Premiership Medallion.
The standout player deemed to be the man-of-the-match in the AFL Grand Final is awarded the Norm Smith Medal, named in honour of former Melbourne player and coach Norm Smith (1915 – 1973).
Since 2001 the winning AFL Grand Final coach is presented with the Jock McHale Medal, whose namesake is former Collingwood coach Jock McHale who holds the AFL Premiership winning coaching record of eight victories.
