PERTH (Reuters) - The coastal city of Perth, often precluded from hosting major events by its geographic isolation, will steal the limelight on Saturday when the Australian Rules football Grand Final heads west for the first time.

The Melbourne Demons and Western Bulldogs will lock horns in the premiership decider in front of 60,000 fans at Perth Stadium, drawing the curtain on a second successive season uprooted by coronavirus restrictions.
