VFL Grand Final

The two best teams are in the grand final. Fantastic that it is between two stand alone teams . You I'll will get a tough, hard fought game. Ironic that both were runners up in the previous two years. Werribee losing to gold coast last year and Southport to Casey in 2022. You never know a team like Frankston could push for a grand final in next few year if they can maintain majority of their players and strengthen in certain areas with some recruiting. Promising times for the dolphins. Williamstown were also brave this year and not that far off. 

Haven’t watched a game there since the grand final of 93 (which we should have won damnit). For those in the know, what’s parking like ? I’m guessing crowd will only be around 5k but am I best leaving the car at home ?

I'll message you mega. We catch tram from Elizabeth street and get off two stops past where the old Sarah sands hotel is. Meet at Cornish arms around midday.  Grab a counter meal there and a few ales.

...or get the train to Jewell statiion; a short walk to the Arms

Should be a good one. The two best teams - Werirbee the top team all year and Southport the best late in the year and through the finals. And both being stand alones makes it that bit better. Dont think there will be much between them. If  Werribee can stop Crossley dominating they should win  but no surprise if Southport get up.  Werribee by 2 goals for me.

Spot on bearsman. Werribee have been the standout team all year but Southport have been great in the finals. Going to be a close one and fantastic to see two standalone teams. Crossley is a massive unit. Southport have a good running team as do werribee. Will be a tough hard old fashion game. Werribee to sneak home but no certainty as Southport will be up for a challenge. Could we see extra time in a grand final??

Good start early with both sides struggling to score in the first 5 minutes. 

It's a small crowd. Which I guess is to be expected. 

Ideal conditions for footy at Carlton. 

FWIW, I'm tipping the Sharks by 2 goals, but would love to see the Tigers get a flag as a Victorian VFA/VFL standalone club.
