LIVE BLOG: Grand Final parade on the Yarra, all the latest news

THERE’S only one more sleep to go!

The countdown to the 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final continues today as Geelong and Sydney take part in the traditional parade in Melbourne – with a twist.

The Parade will feature a hybrid model for the first time: a boat parade on the Yarra River, and then the traditional motorcade through the Footy Festival at the MCG.

The captains and coaches of both sides will then speak at a media conference in Yarra Park.
