'People will notice a highly visible police presence at the Grand Final Parade, in and around the MCG on game day, and well into the night as fans enjoy the post-match celebrations.' 9News

Following the Tigers' famous Grand Final victory in 2017, Swan Street was transformed into a street party.

Mr Hansen said police will be patrolling Swan Street in heavy numbers and are authorised to issue fines of $100 if people refuse requests to stop drinking or seal alcohol containers. "The Grand Final weekend is one Victorians love to celebrate but it can take a split second for a poor decision to turn to tragedy," Mr Leane said.
