VICTORIAN football will take centre stage on Grand Final eve, with the VFL and TAC Cup grand finals to be held at Telstra Dome.

The TAC decider will start at 4.30pm on September 26, with the VFL match to start at 7.40pm.

Ticket prices are expected to be about $20.

AFL Victoria chief executive Peter Schwab said the move to Telstra Dome was a significant step for the competitions.

Former AFL player Sam Cranage teams with James Byrne in VFL

GEELONG'S VFL squad could be further strengthened this season with the addition of another former AFL player.

Ex-St Kilda and Carlton midfielder Sam Cranage had his first hit-out for the Cats in Saturday's VFL practice match against Werribee at Geelong's Skilled Stadium.

The 27-year-old played 18 games with the Saints and Blues after being taken in the 1997 AFL national draft and was invited to trial with the side by his good friend, Geelong's VFL captain James Byrne.

Cranage spent last season playing with Balwyn in the Southern Football League, but Cats coach Leigh Tudor said he believed his side could benefit from his previous VFL experience playing with Williamstown.

"He's keen to play VFL footy again and we'd love to have him,'' Tudor said.
