Grand Final: Port Adelaide vs Richmond
This once-in-a-lifetime season comes down to a night Grand Final at the Gabba.
Port Adelaide after having an incredible year will be looking to get some silverware for their effort, and there is no doubt that Ken Hinkley will thrive off of those who have doubted his side and channel it into motivation.
Richmond are familiar with the buzz and excitement around a Grand Final, and the sense of occasion won't faze them one bit.
They have been here multiple times in recent memory, and know exactly how to win.
But the Power will fight tooth and nail for the flag.
If they put on the same performance as when they last met earlier in the year at Adelaide Oval, they will be hard to stop.
But, as mentioned before, the Tigers will have their injured premiership players back, and should be a match for the Power in intensity and ball movement.
And in a year that has thrown up every single surprise imaginable, anything could happen.
Predicted winner: Richmond
