Pranksters change street signs for AFL grand final

Updated September 27, 2012 10:32:56

Pranksters have changed the name of a well-known Melbourne street in an AFL grand final stunt.

They have switched all the Swan Street signs to Hawks Street in Richmond.

Hawthorn plays Sydney in the season-decider at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.

Yarra City Council mayor Geoff Barbour has told ABC local radio the change is not officially sanctioned and could be a conspiracy from across the Yarra River.

"There's probably more feeling in Richmond and Yarra with the former South Melbourne Swans, working class areas, rather than those silvertails across the river in Hawthorn," he said.
