Pre-match Entertainment
The 1998 Grand Final pre-match entertainment was particularly notable for the appearance of former World Heavyweight Boxing champion Muhammad Ali, as he did a lap of honour of the ground. Rob Guest performed This Is The Moment as the champion made his way around the ground. Guest later sang the national anthem.
The song performed at every Grand Final, Waltzing Matilda, was performed by Jane Scali and Michael Cormick.
In an unusual move, the teams ran out to the live performance of the club song, rather than the traditional recorded version played later on.
