The AFL competition has had to adapt to the pandemic. For example, the AFL Grand Final is usually held on a Saturday afternoon in Melbourne in front of about 100 000 people. However this year it will be a twilight game in Perth with a smaller crowd. Will 2021 Grand Final still be special?


Dr Harryo Bismantara currentlyis  a Ph.D candidate in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University.  He has a deep knowledge of AFL and also plays AFL with the Krakatoas.  Dr Haryo explains to Sri Dean why the Demons and the Bulldogs have been the superior teams this year and the key factors that will decide the outcome of the AFL Grand Final.
