Crows teammates Mitch Grigg and Lewis Johnston will go head to head in the 2013 SANFL Grand Final at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.
Johnston, who missed the Semi-Final because of an ankle injury, returned to play a starring role in North Adelaide’s big Preliminary Final win over West Adelaide. The neat-kicking forward collected 23 possessions, 10 marks, eight inside 50ms and kicked a goal playing behind the ball.
Grigg and his Norwood teammates had last weekend off after beating West Adelaide in the Qualifying Final to secure the Redlegs’ second-consecutive Grand Final berth.
Reigning premiers Norwood will be aiming to go back-to-back, while the Roosters will be hoping to claim their first flag since 1991 to give Sydney Swans-bound coach Josh Francou the perfect send-off. Grigg, who was squeezed out of Norwood’s successful Grand Final team last year, is desperate to win his first premiership with the Club.
Sunday’s Grand Final starts at 3:20pm SA time.
