Live: Weather woes ahead of AFL grand final as Lions and Dockers chase history
Flights have been delayed and cancelled in Brisbane due to poor weather in Melbourne, as the Lions prepare to take on the Dockers in the AFL grand final. Follow live.
AFL season concludes at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) with Brisbane Lions and Fremantle Dockers in pursuit of history. The Lions have full strength after Lachie Neale's successful appeal on Thursday night, while the Dockers aim to secure their first flag since 2013. The weather in Melbourne is uncooperative, with rain and temperatures around 15 degrees, and there's a possibility of thunderstorms.
This miserable weather led to flight delays and cancellations at Brisbane Airport due to the adverse conditions. Despite these challenges, the Lions and Dockers are determined to create a historic moment on grand final day.
