RUMOUR CONFIRMED

‘Row Your Boat’ told the John Hughes Rumour File a couple of weeks ago that the AFL was considering an idea for players to travel in boats along the Yarra River for its 2022 grand final parade.

The rumour was confirmed on 6PR Breakfast, with The Age this morning reporting the AFL is considering having players travel on boats to Birrarung Marr, before disembarking and riding in the back of utes to the MCG precinct. Eddie McGuire also mentioned the plan on Melbourne radio today.

A grand final parade on water was first mooted by City of Perth mayor Basil Zempilas last year, when Perth hosted the AFL decider but couldn’t hold a traditional parade through the city streets due to the pandemic.

“I’m going to give Baz [Zempilas] credit here, because he suggested exactly this last year after the AFL didn’t want a traditional parade because of COVID, and he got absolutely no traction with them,” 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker said.
