Sydney Swans supporting siblings Joel Brown and Krystal Clayton were two of the thousands that took to the SCG on Friday night to celebrate Lance Franklin's 1000th AFL goal.

However, unlike the masses that sought to converge around the 35-year-old after he slotted his fourth major of the night, both Brown and Clayton had set their sights on the centre circle instead.

The pair, with fellow family members in tow, made their way into the middle of the Sydney Cricket Ground to quickly, but lovingly, pour out their Nan's, Edna Dixon, ashes.

"I told Krystal to not go for Buddy because you're not going to reach him, just go straight for the centre circle," Mr Brown told the ABC on Friday night.

"When they do kick to kick they cordon off the centre of the field so we figured it was our only chance to get in the middle of the ground."

Despite having grown up in Victoria and having originally supported the Bulldogs, Dixon made the move to the Harbour City later in life and started a secondary love affair with the Swans.

Having passed at the age of 93 last year, Brown and Clayton saw fit to send Dixon off with a befitting tribute amongst the celebrating throng.

"She always said she wanted to do a coin toss on the SCG but she never got a chance," Brown added.

"And she did say from time to time that she wanted some of her ashes scattered at the SCG so this was ourย chance to honour that

"It was a little bit symbolic, or a sort of consolation prize almost.

"It was a really emotional moment."

With the legalities surrounding the duo's ceremony seemingly ambiguous, it is not clear whether either will face sanctions stemming from the SCG's Trust or Sydney's law enforcers.

At the time of writing, no form of statement on the matter has been released publicly.

However, here's to hoping that the brother and sister's form of farewell acts as the end of the matter.
