AFL Grand Final is set, with minor premier Sydney to do battle with last year's runner-up Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday afternoon, in the first decider without a Victorian team involved since 2006.

Sydney have been the frontrunners of the AFL for almost the entire year, but Port Adelaide are coming with a rush to spoil the party at the SCG. Follow along below for all the action from the first preliminary final. I’m prepared to call it now - Sydney are into the grand final.

Sydney and Brisbane-based fans are coughing up as much as $1800 for a return trip to Melbourne this weekend for the first all-interstate final since 2006.
