The Zero Hanger team have put forward their predictions for Saturday's AFL Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Lions.

The Swans have earned the majority of nods for the premiership, with margins ranging from one point to 20 points while favouring both teams.

Only Sydney players have been backed for the Norm Smith Medal however, with the club's trio of star midfielders all earning multiple votes to take out best-afield honours.

From the seven voters, six separate players have been tipped to kick the first goal of the game, with the Swans taking the majority yet again.

Below are our grand final predictions, tipping the premiers, margin, Norm Smith Medal winner and first goalkicker while guessing Sunday's headline. We have also tallied all votes and presented them at the bottom.
