These sides are meeting in their 3rd straight Grand Final and 5th in 7 seasons. 1st time since Glenelg vs North Adelaide (1985 to 1987) teams have met in 3 straight grand finals.
Central Districts are playing in the 7th Grand Final in a row (Port Adelaide last team to do that feat from 1962 to 1968)and looking for their 6th premiership (only loss in was to Sturt in 2002). Looking for 4th straight flag and be the 1st team since Sturt who won 5 in a row betwen 1966 and 1970.
Central Districts are 1st side in SANFL history to advance straight from the 2nd Semi Final to Grand Final for 7 straight years. This is the 2nd time they have come from 3rd place at the end of the home and away season they did that in 2000.
