There's a lot that can be written about this final, and we've been disappointed by the silence over on the Dojo and Bugger blogs.
Yes, its the final that could only be described in terms of gigantic new wave pop songs* - Turning Japanese vs Rock Lobster - as tonight the venerable Dojo Mojo take on the revered Messy Moreton Bay Buggers, while the remainder of us drink their beer on the sidelines and wonder what might have been (in between offering grudging respect).
Of course, the Messy Bugs treat their Ultimate as anything but a nonsensical surf/beach party, although they are known to attribute absurd, fictional noises to certain activities. Superior fitness also allows the team to match up to the seven minutes that the B52s' most famous epic clocks in at. Keep an eye out for Fatty doing the Narwhal.
Meanwhile, I'm sure our readers don't need any further prompting to consider the links between Brisbane's favourite Nipponese wannabes and ... well ... masturbation. Suffice to say, we imagine the plan tonight will be to keep the hand dry and supple so as to maximise the friction on the disc. Remember, this was the one Kurt Cobain covered. Mr Eastburn needs a big win before he becomes Papa Eastburn and is wondering what to tell the kid about.
In all seriousness, this should be a great Final. These teams have history - they've been around for a while in some for or other, and have played a few finals again each other - yet they remain stubbornly different for the experience.
It'll come down to that traditional Ultimate mix - a solid dose of talent, some effective teamwork, a subtle blend of psychology, and a little bit of luck.
Get on down there.

While Turning Japanese was a much stronger chart buster at the time of release, and still remains within the popular consciousness, surely Rock Lobster must be rated the superior piece of music. Rolling Stone logged it as the 146th most significant song ever, remember!
Go Buggers.
DOJO FTW.
Buggers suck.
Hi mom.
