Mitch Grigg booked an SANFL grand final appearance with a powerful performance for Norwood at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.

The young Crows midfielder – who missed selection in Norwood’s premiership side last year – starred with 33 possessions and nine clearances in the 56-point win over West Adelaide.

It was Grigg’s first game for Norwood in nearly two months.

Lewis Johnston was a late withdrawal from the North Adelaide side after struggling through a late training session with a sore ankle.

But the key forward may still play a part in North’s premiership chase and be available for Sunday’s preliminary final against West.

The season is over for the Eagles, who crumbled in the second half against North.

Stats:

Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Eagles): Seven kicks, 12 handballs, four marks, seven rebound 50s

Luke Thompson (Eagles): Two kicks, nine handballs

Mitch Grigg (Norwood): 25 kicks, eight handballs, nine clearances, 0.3
