The day's proceedings will begin at 12.15 pm (AEST) when the 18 sprinters will take place in the Grand Final Sprint heats.
Performances from Christine Anu, Mike Brady and worldwide megastar Katy Perry will take place in the lead-up to the bounce of the ball.
Teams will enter the field of play from 2.13pm (AEST) before a Welcome to Country and the Australian National Anthem.
A coin toss two minutes before the bounce of the ball at 2.30 pm (AEST) to get things underway between the Lions and Swans.
Post-game, the Norm Smith Medal will be presented by former Geelong champion Steve Johnson, the Jock McHale Medal by David Parkin and the Ron Barrassi Medal by Fred Wooller.
