“We probably deserve it, we finished second. Wandin were terrific in the final series but I thought all year we were aiming to play in a grand final once it all settled down. To get there is good for the boys, they’ve worked really hard, they are veryresilient, and they never give up.”

“After a long couple of covid years, I’m extremely proud of our group, the way they’ve maintained high levels at training andon game day, continued to work hard and now get a shot at a premiership. The entire club has done a fantastic job in getting to where we are. We’re looking forward to a tough and physical grand final against a very good opponent.”
Warren being the standout team all season, it was a matter of them waiting to see who their final opponent for 2022 would be with Woori Yallock and Wandin battling it out for the second time this finals series. As listed above, Narre Warren and Woori Yallock have played each other twice this season, both winning one game with the second contest between the two providing much more intriguing contest. Narre Warren by far have scored the most per game, averaging 22 goals a game, and had the best defence all year conceding a mere 7 goals per game. After finishing first and proceeding straight the second week of finals, Narre took care of Wandin, whilst Woori Yallock had a longer path, losing to Wandin, destroying Olinda Ferny Creek and then withstanding a spirited last quarter comeback from Wandin last week, escaping with a 9 point victory League leading goal scorer Jake Richardson (71), who averages a tick over 4 goals a game and his partner in crime Will Howe, who averages a tick under 4 goals per game, and Trent Cody (2.5 per game), lead a formidable forward line which look likely to cause headaches for the Tigers’ defence. Whilst star midfielders Kurt Mutimer (39.7 disposal average (16 contested)) and Tom Miller will be doing their best two feed Richardson and Howe on a platter. Down back elite intercept marker Thomas Toner will be busy, as will Jesse Davies, Joel Zietsman and Matt Soroczynski Woori’s goal sources are more spread out, with Zach Monkhorst and Joshua Neal averaging over 2.5 goals a game, with solid contributions all year from Josh Hawkins, Kane Thompson and Mitch Arnold Gun Liam Odea (31 touches and 0.8 goals per game) will be vital for Woori’s chances as will Robert Allen in defence who averages 29 touches (24 kicks), whom had 37 touches against Narre in R6, and 145 ranking points per game A few key stats, highlighting the similarities and differences between the two Grand Finalists are: Narre Warren lead Woori Yallock in Hitouts to Advantage by 10.7 (over double), Contested Possessions by 21 (111 to 90), Marks inside 50 by 9.9 (almost double) and total marks by 43.9. Whilst Woori Yallock narrowly lead Contested Marks (16.1 to 15.7) and intercept marks by 2.3 (20.1 to 17.8). Narre Warren have been the most potent all year and have the stingiest defence, also holding the title of the best contested team and therefore and will rightfully start favourites. You never know though as Woori Yallock did get the chocolates last time. That will mean nothing if they can’t pull off an upset here

of the two standout teams, this contest is not an easy one to pick. It was one win a piece during the H&A season with both games going down to the wire, whilst the finals clash in week 2 was anything but that In their most recent clash, Upwey Tecoma only managed the two goals whist Narre Warren had a handful of multiple scorers, headlined by Hayden Dwyer (4), Bailey Howarth (3), Nathan Power (3) and Hamish West (3). Whilst an uncharacteristic performance, this game should be a wake up call for Upwey Tecoma and one they can use to analyse and improve their game on Narre Warren will look to get the balls in the hands of Hayden Dwyer, Bailey Mayworm and Bailey Howarth up forward. All of three of whom have been in the thick of the action all season, regularly appearing amongst the best players. Whilst for Upwey Tecoma, Connor Morton and Aaron Grenda will look to inflict scoreboard damage. This will be made easier if the likes of Liam Dunning and the McGills; Lachie and Tom are at their best Narre Warren had the most stubborn defence all year conceding only 405 points, whilst Upwey Tecoma are second also conceding under 30 points a game. However Narre Warren have been the highest scoring team by quite some margin, outscoring Upwey Tecoma by roughly 20 points per game, who are the second highest scoring side. This match genuinely could go either way and judging by the season as a whole and the home & away matchups, this Grand Final should be an absolute belter

looked destined to make the Grand Final all season whilst Emerald had to fight their spot in this contest. And fight they did. The Tigers smashed Narre Warren in the second week of finals, doubling them, to secure a Grand Final berth, whilst Emerald narrowly defeated Mt Evelyn, Monbulk and Narre Warren, with all three victories coming by less than three goals Whilst the round 18 match and the ladder positions suggest there is a reasonable gap between these two sides, Emerald has actually conceded less score this season than Upwey Tecoma and only average 7 points per game less for Nullifying Zach Paull’s (4 last time they played) ability to kick goals for Upwey Tecoma could go a long way to Emerald causing an upset, whilst Ned Park Jerkinson and Zane Smith have been great contributors up forward for the ladder leaders also On the other hand, Upwey Tecoma will be desperate to prevent Ben Lewis and Jack McGough from kicking bags, who are both capable, with the latter kicking 3+ on seven occasions this season Some standout players this season for both teams include: Zach Paull, Heath Sartori and Joshua Wentworth for Upwey Tecoma, whilst Emerald’s best few include: Will Gazzard, Ben Lewis and Brodie Walker Will the momentum of Emerald trump the class of Upwey Tecoma?

Emerald
“Super excited about the big dance this weekend. I know how hard my boys have worked to get to this point after a couple of covid affected years, and so proud of the way they have got to the grand final. We have had over 30 players to pull on the yellow and black this year and they have all played a part in this journey! We are really keen to renew the old Yarra valley rivalry with emerald football club who are a really exciting team with a lot of players with senior experience and young future stars on the rise, who we've already had a couple of tight tussles with during the regular season and have been impressed by their final’s series so far. I'm tipping it to be the game of the day and a really tight and even contest across the whole ground, especially the midfield battle as I think that's where the game will be decided!”
“After a home & away season filled with injuries, struggling to get numbers on the park, playing most weeks with 14 16 a side with no bench, the boys finally ran out with a near full strength side and created our best victory of 2022 with a preliminary final win over Narre Warren. This win had been culminating with our recent form and the hard work/ perseverance that this group of young men has shown in the face of the adversity this year. In a season full of overcoming challenges, we believe there is no reason we cannot overcome our biggest challenge on Sunday in Upwey Tecoma.”

BothPreviewBerwick and Beaconsfield have been excellent all year and looked destined be the two to play off in the Grand Final.

The next two times, it was Berwick’s turn, with the final win sending them past the Prelim and straight into the Grand Final, and barring the first time these two played each other, the matches have been nailbiters.

In similar fashion to the U15’s blue division, the U15 white division is being played by Narre Warren and ROC who no team outside these two have beaten either of them.
ROC are miles ahead of the rest of the competition and Narre Warren are miles ahead of ROC. Not losing to anyone else is why ROC deservedly made second spot and ultimately a Grand Final spot, however Narre Warren convincingly beat them 6 times this year. Anything can happen in a Grand Final, however one would expect Narre Warren to win this game with ease. (Never say never though)

Narre Warren look the better side for sure but can’t just expect things to happen, as round 16 showed, ROC do have the potential to beat them.
The finals defeat by 15 shows there is a reasonable gap between the sides and Narre Warren deservedly go in as hot favourites.
Quote from ROC’s Coach Bree Miller
• R5 Narre Warren 30 defeated ROC 19
However the battle between the two that was close was when ROC won in round 16, which seems a potential outlier when compared the rest of the matches between the two.
“We have an incredible strong team this season and have consistently come up against quality sides, this weekend will be no different. Narre has always been our biggest competition and my girls have work exceptionally hard to prepare for the challenge ahead of them.

• R8 Beaconsfield 18 defeated by Cranbourne 19
The ladder on its own suggests it should be a landslide victory for Beaconsfield, but Cranbourne’s finals form suggests otherwise. Cranbourne are on a role and Isabella Hetherington needs be stopped by Beaconsfield, whilst gun Emily Henshaw for Beaconsfield, will be keen to add some early scoreboard pressure on Cranbourne.

“The Beaconsfield under 17 whites have had such a great season. they’ve trained hard, grown closer as a unit and have played strong competitive netball all season. We are excited and really looking forward to the biggest game of the season, we can’t wait !”

Momentum can be a funny thing. Beaconsfield were the clear second best side all year and they face Cranbourne who lost more games than they won. They had their work cut out for them, yet they made it; they beat the top of the table in Narre Warren in the Preliminary Final to earn a spot in the Grand Final.

SUNDAY 18 SEPTEMBER
Final between the two standout teams looks set to be a close one as both of their previous encounters were, although Narre Warren took the chocolates both times.
Quote from Narre Warren’s Coach Erin Bell
“After a long season, we can’t wait to get out there on Sunday to play in the Grand Final. We know it's going to be a very tough game given the calibre of players that make up the Olinda team and with their versatility and depth. We will stay focused on our own game and aim to execute a consistent game plan across the 60 minutes. It has been a full team effort to get this far with all players contributing and playing their role across the season. We know finals netball is another level of intensity and we will have to be ready to step up, with all players ready to go when and if needed. It's so exciting for all Senior teams at Narre Warren to have made the Grand Final and we hope to do our Club proud.”
Bronwyn Simpson will have her work cut out as Narre’s Erin Bell looms a dangerous threat (2nd in the league for points for) and scored 39 in their finals encounter. Whilst for Olinda Ferny Creek it is Hayley Howard (GS) who needs to be stopped (comp 1st) by gun Gabrielle Dwyer (GK). Captain Brittany Mashado (Jodie Chandler Medallist) in the middle (C) will be busy and another one to look out for is Jemma Osbourne. For Olinda Ferny Creek, aswell as Hayley Howard, some real difference makers include, Taylah Werner(GA), Krista Tomlinson (C) , Brodie Smith (GD) and Holly Tauber (WA). The difference between the two sides all year hasn’t been enormous, however Narre Warren’s ability to the put the clamps on other team’s scoring abilities is of note, only conceding 608 goals in the H&A season, which is 101 less than the next lowest in Olinda Ferny Creek The win/loss record on the ladder may exaggerate the gap between the two sides, as half of Olinda Ferny Creek’s losses in the H&A season were to Narre Warren and their finals encounter was reasonably close (50 45). Narre Warren will go in as warm favourites, but don’t expect this to be a one sided match by any means.

Narre Warren’s path to the Grand Final after finishing top of the table saw them defeat Monbulk in the second week of finals, giving them the first Grand Final spot, whilst ROC had to go the long way after losing to Monbulk, narrowly defeating Olinda Ferny Creek and the getting revenge on Monbulk in a comprehensive win Narre Warren were comfortably the most prolific scoring team all year, scoring over 200 more than ROC, however the defences of both teams is rock solid Summah Hinchcliffe and Mercy Ioelu sharing GS duties, lead a formidable attack with Tamika De Nardis vital up forward too as GA. Gun centre Kacey Maund (B&F) and WA Kate Dowling loom as big threats in the centre as Caitlin Egan (GD) and Alex Stephenson (GK) look to make it hard for pair Courtney Davey and Sidney Kneebone Some other notable ROC players include captain Amy Jones, Bella Heppell, Elise Setches and Madison Airdrie This looks to be a fairly even contest as both teams bat deep and aren’t reliant on the one or two players. Hopefully this goes down to the wire like their first encounter in round 9.

Mt Evelyn 4th 12 Wins 6 Losses
Not many would have predicted Mt Evelyn to be playing of a C grade Premiership after the H&A season, but here we are. They’ve made an extraordinary effort to make it from 4th position; taking care of Pakenham, clinching a narrow win upset victory over 2nd placed Olinda Ferny Creek and then downing Wandin in the Preliminary Final. Knocking off red hot favourites Narre Warren won’t be so easy however, given Narre Warren comfortably beat them both times this season and average an extra 11 goals per game, whilst conceding four less per game We know Mt Evelyn will be up for the fight, the question is how long can the go with Narre Warren for? Their last encounter was a 20 point defeat, however the majority of this margin was built in the last quarter, with Narre shooting 15 to Mt Ev’s 2. Much rests on gun Georgia Black (GK) and Jessica Hoskin (GD), both who have had great years, whilst Caitlin Hoskin (GA) and Rebecca Gorfine (GS) are a dangerous duo Black and Hoskin will need to be at their best once again to stop Alyssa Hunter (GS), whom is the most prolific scorer by a mile this season, and Lauren Bechet (GA). Olivia Catrucco will also prove vital in this clash Mt Evelyn have done well to make this far but Narre Warren look a classier side.
“This year C grade have had a real solid year and will go into Sunday with a lot of belief. The girls have been able to bond together really well throughout the season and back each other 100%. They look forward to the challenge of the grand final and hopefully, we will be able to put together a four quarter performance for the last game of the year, to finish off a great season. I am beyond proud of this team regardless of the result Sunday.”

Whilst the finishing ladder positions and head to head form suggest ROC are the better side, the extreme tightness of last two contests between the two and the one sided victory to Narre Warren in round 9, says it really is anyone’s game.
• FR2 ROC 33 defeated Narre Warren
Alyssa Breeden (GS) for ROC and (GA) Lauren Kaye are a deadly forward pair and will need to be stopped by guns Oliva Brinkman(GK) and McKenzie Morrison (GD), both enjoying excellent seasons. Captain Ruby Mosbey (C) will be busy and Amy Heinze (WD) is another Narre Warren player to look out for. Meanwhile Savannah Stodal (GS) and Holly Van de Loop (GA) will be pivotal upfront for Narre also. This one should go down to the wire.
for both teams jump to mind in what looms as an intriguing Grand Final. ROC finished first, with their one loss of the season coming at the hands of Narre Warren in round 9 in a reasonably one sided affair. Their round 18 clash however saw ROC scrape through with a 2 goal win, in a game where the margin was 2 or less at each break. Whilst their finals encounter in the second week went into extra time after Narre Warren played catchup in the second quarter after a very slow start.
