History is there for the making for North Albany as they chase down a fifth consecutive premiership.

The Kangas have won seven straight games heading into the season decider with their last loss being to Royals at Centennial Oval way back in June.

Coach Brad Bootsma said his side did not think about creating history but were more focused on winning this week’s game.

“What will be will be,” the Kangas playing coach said.

“We will have nine different players from last year’s side, so every year is a new success.

“If we win one or win five it doesn’t matter. You play every year to win the Grand Final and we have that chance, and that is it.”

Bootsma said he watched Royals’ win over Railways in last week’s preliminary final and found the game to be fairly scrappy.

“The conditions were not the best really, but the result was probably what I was expecting,” he said.

“With Railways having no tall players it was going to be a tough ask, but Royals did what they needed to do to win the game.”

The clashes between the two sides in recent years have seen some wonderful individual battles as well as in the coaches box.

Bootsma has had the better of Royals’ coach Darrell Panizza in recent years.

“Darrell is a very good coach and he will be doing what he needs to for his side to win the game – exactly the same as me,” he said.

Bootsma said that there were no individual players his team needed to stop to win their fifth consecutive flag.

“We need to stop their whole team and that will be the focus,” he said.

“Team footy has turned our season around and we need to continue this.

“It doesn’t matter who kicks the goals because the whole team gets the accolades.”

The Kangas have had an even spread of goal-kickers this season, with Warwick Durack, Boyden Coyne and Brad McDonald, among others, capable of doing some damage.
