Good luck to you both, and I hope there’s no injuries.

Are you playing one short @Dunlop?
Missed Greene.
76 off the lead in the first, but an excellent 2nd for Stoops kept the erosion to 32 with Newman & Fisher starting to get involved. That was less than the then extra 47pts per term required.
108pts the Stoops lead with 1/2 to play.
Looks like both Grand Finals coming down to the wire, good to see. Would like @Dunlop to win for sentimentality sake in his last game.

Stoops now favourite after another supreme quarter led by Brent Daniels - after taking 76 off in the 1st term, Stoops gave them a rocket and they’ve stablised only allowing 65pts to be taken off the lead in the next 2.
Stoops 1411 vs. Dunlop 1336
75 the lead. Plenty to do if the team wants a premiership.
Shame @Stoops is in football isolation so he’s not witnessing this effort.

Stoops owes Brent Daniels a beer. He’s having an incredible 2nd half. He takes the opportunity that neither Bedford or Greene wanted and goals.
54 the Stoops lead 15mins to play.
Brent Daniels playing a lone hand here. Stoops needs Newman, Fisher & Cottrell to join his effort.
The Tobys have lifted. 31 the lead. 10mins to play

What if it’s a draw?
We play it again next week 
They can both agree to take the gold or we go into overtime!!!
Best scores by average across the AFL finals for their players playing.
Wowsers!
There has been a late adjustment down to Toby Greene’s score.

Commiserations Stoops, I hope your group have another charge left in them as this group deserves a premiership. They’ve been the highest scoring team over the past 3 seasons, and only don’t have a premiership to show for it due to atrocious luck. 4 80pt+ players drop out and still your team has fought their arses off and almost scored 1500, with it taking something special from the Tobys to just pip you. It is testament to the coach you are, that you can replace a 3rd of your side in a week, and you can still inspire them to fight like hell for you.

Wow.
Great game.
And congrats to @Dunlop.
Thoroughly deserved win.
Finishes his coaching career the same way it started. With a premiership win.
This time, without an absolute spud winning the Norm Smith.
