- Goal review introduction
- Travis Cloke's contract signing saga
- Chris Judd's chicken wing tackle
- Multiple pre-season coach changes

- Paul Kelly as grand final entertainment
- Vale, Jim Stynes
- Addition of Greater Western Sydney Giants
- Melbourne's Jeremy Howe and his attempts at mark of the year
- An eagle perched on the roof to deter seagulls.
The free poster will be available inside Gate 3 at the MCG from Monday September 24, as well as at Federation Square.
“The MCG grand final poster is a light-hearted look at the many notable events of the year,” said Lisa Trainor, MCC general manager commercial operations.
“Bob Shields has once again created a work of art for the enjoyment of thousands of footy fans.”
