Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan has banned footy stars, commentators including Eddie McGuire, fans from NSW and Victoria, and even players' WAGs, from this month's AFL Grand Final in Perth. I think they just say yes or no,' he said when asked why he was going to miss his first grand final since 1972. 'Look, I'm disappointed, because we'd planned to do a whole lot of great things around the grand final.' 'I applied for a G2G application or a permit to come in to work and cover the grand final, and it was rejected,' he said. Thousands of fans are likely to also line the streets of Perth for a grand final motorcade of the participating teams.
