10,000 football lovers turned out for the launch of the centenary season of the Australian Football League at the MCG.

To the delight of the younger brigade, the Wiggles opened proceedings and Kevin Johnson sang his revised football version of an Australian classic.

George Burns, also known as impersonator Peter Kay, arrived by helicopter and 136 players, officials, umpires and members of the media were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

By the time the AFL Centenary Bowl came around, the MCG was enclosed in the biggest tent in the Southern Hemisphere.

3,200 guests treated to a night that we won't forget.

They were treated to this little showstopper.

Oh, when the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching in I want to be there in September When the saints go marching in Suns of this grey Red, white and blue

We will come out snarling, poor dogs through and through.

We are Geelong, the greatest team of all.

We are Geelong, we're always on the ball.
