The article, shortened and in plain language

The AFL grand final between Brisbane and Fremantle gets underway at 2.30pm on Saturday, September 26.

Australian pop royalty Kylie Minogue will perform a 20-minute set before the match from about 1.30pm.

The game can be watched on Channel 7 and 7Plus, while ABC Sport will be calling and live blogging every moment.

The Brisbane Lions are facing off with the Fremantle Dockers.

Should they win, it would be the second threepeat in their history, following 2001-2003, and it would see them join Melbourne as one of the only two teams to record the feat twice.

Over their past six games against each other, the ledger is tied at 3-3, with the Dockers winning their most recent clash at the Gabba in round 13 this year.

The game will be on Channel 7 and 7Plus, but be aware that it will not be shown on Kayo or Fox Sports.

The Wiggles will be performing at Friday's grand final parade through Melbourne.

The injured Brennan Cox is a chance to come in for the Dockers, but it looks odds on that the Dockers will be unchanged from their preliminary final victory over the Swans.

Shortened to 1 minute of reading, this version reads 8.4 on the Niral Score.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is ABC News's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
