Optus Stadium will emcee the block buster 2021 Grand Final between the minor premiers, the Melbourne Demons and the red hot underdogs, the Western Bulldogs.
Both teams unexpectedly annihilated their opponents by 83 and 71 points.
I still think that coming into the games the Melbourne Dee’s will be the favourites, having 3 reasonably easy finals while the Doggies had some thrilling finishes through the four finals they went through.
I am still thinking about how much the Bulls have left in the tank.
If the Dees do win the Grand Final, they will tie with Richmond Tigers in the premiership count and will have the fourth most premierships ever, behind Collingwood Magpies, Hawthorn Hawks, Essendon Bombers and Carlton Blues. While the Doggies will only win their third premiership
Finally, the Norm Smith contenders are most likely to be:
- Christian Petracca
- Max Gawn
- Clayton Oliver
- Marcus Bontempelli
So that is my 2021 AFL Grand Final Preview which you can watch on Channel 7 live and free at 7:15 pm
