The Bombers are ready to fly into 2019, having officially launched the new season on Tuesday night.

Held at the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix circuit as part of the Bombers' strategic partnership with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, the event welcomed more than 500 guests, including players, club officials, supporters and sponsors.

Star youngster Andrew McGrath and senior coach John Worsfold stole the show, choosing a spin down the Albert Park straight in an F1 two-seater as their method of transport to the launch.

Below is a selection of images from the night.
