On Saturday, all eyes will be on Perth as the Melbourne Demons face the Western Bulldogs in the AFL grand final.

After a decades-long slump, the Demons are back in form after finishing the regular season at the top of the ladder and chasing their first premiership win since 1964. It’s the first time they’ve made the grand final since 2000.

For the Bulldogs, they will be looking to repeat their 2016 success when they last took home the premiership cup.

Today on Please Explain, sports reporter Sam McClure joins Nathanael Cooper from Perth to look at Saturday’s historic AFL grand final.
