This should be a fantastic grand final played between the best 2 teams in the competition this year. Will the short break hurt both sides(Especially North Ballarat). Port Melbourne are playing in their first grand final since 2004 and have not won since 1982. North Ballarat who are yet to win a flag and are playing in their 1st grand final since 2000. Hopefully a good crowd will come to the Dome on Friday for this great night. I think Port Melbourne to win this game but it will be a close finish.

Old fashioned football at its best, anyone going will get good seats, bar wont have extra long lines, hopefully they let people join the huddles and the kids get to have a kick on the dome during the breaks, they have every other final so far, hope they dont change it, sounds like a good night out for alot of people, last chance for a taste of old school quality footy till next year, Go the Borough!..
