North Melbourne is pleased to announce Blackwoods as the naming right's sponsor of its annual Grand Final Breakfast for the second consecutive year.

The original and the best, the Blackwoods North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast hosted 3,200 guests on-field at Etihad Stadium last year.

North CEO Carl Dilena said it was an honour to have Blackwoods on board again.

"Blackwoods has been a great supporter of the club for many years and it's fantastic to have it associated with the event which started 47-years-ago," Dilena said.

"Each year this function continues to grow in significant numbers and this will be no exception."

Traditionally, VIPs from around Australia gather at the Breakfast to kick off the biggest day on the AFL calendar.  They normally include the Prime Minister, opposition leader, AFL chairman and CEO, as well as entertainers, celebrities, AFL greats and other sporting superstars.

US comedian Arj Barker and Aussie rock icon Tim Rogers will headline the entertainment, while an expert Fox Footy panel will provide a preview of the big game.

A premier partner of the Kangaroos for six seasons, Blackwoods has been a vital component of Australia's industrial and workplace landscape and this year, the Grand Final Breakfast will be an appropriate celebration of Blackwoods’ 135-year anniversary.
