The head of the Melbourne Cricket Club says he wants footy fans who threw bottles at umpires during Saturday's preliminary final at the MCG to be banned for life.

Police, the AFL and MCC are preparing for a full house when Fremantle and Brisbane meet in the Grand Final this weekend.

At least one person has been fined over a bottle throwing incident during Saturday's AFL preliminary final, as the Melbourne Cricket Club vows to pursue lifetime bans for those involved.

A late penalty was awarded to the Lions against Hawthorn's Jarman Impey for holding the ball, which allowed Hugh McCluggage to put Brisbane ahead with less than 30 seconds remaining.

Victoria Police on Tuesday revealed 10 people were ejected from the MCG on Saturday night for poor behaviour.

Acting Superintendent Matt Bui said five of those have since been issued with fines, including one for throwing a bottle.

The AFL said it would ban those found to be involved from all games for a minimum of five years, while the Melbourne Cricket Club is looking to ban them from all events at the MCG.

MCC Chief Executive Officer Stuart Fox said he wanted to see the bans imposed for life.
