In a true reflection of the clubs
The Demons will be disappointed if anything other than a big win arrives being only one more success away from completing the impressive feat of two perfect seasons in a row
TheformguidebackstheSaintshavingplayed their last two games against the Demons and won both and Gallio's team will be determinedtobuildtheirlegacy But South simply needs to turn to both encounters at McLaughlin Park where it won byhandsomemargins.
The midfield can all do the damage with Hutchesson's two goals in as many minutes proving the difference in the semi-final, while Sam Willis and Eli Redman can also snag a sausagerollfromallangles.

Either side of him are his big leaders in the tough Jacob Carger and former GWS Giant Tom Hutchesson who are ready to gain more Hepossessions.willbeaiming to tap to the advantage of Emerson Marks, the player that started the Demons' preliminary final assault by sprinting awayfromthecentreafterthefirstbounce. This set the tone as he was joined by the likes of Brett O'Neil, Hamish Stevens, James Paprotny and Brock Keding to help South movetheballatbreakneckspeed.

Like any good side, the contestant's nucleus liesinthemidfield. But when South was pushing for a semi-final victory a lot of its entries were cut off by the superb aerial work of Zac McGuinness, Kalan Shanks,FrazerandKadeBradley.

The by-product of their efforts meant the Demons kicked 1.5 in the last quarter and lost by13points. It is fitting the Saints and Demons meet again on such an occasion given many had them as the clear premiership favourites before round 1 and they have justified these lofty expectations since, playing on a completely different level to the rest of the competition all Onlyyeartwice have the other four clubs been within single figures on the scoreboard at full time against the grand finalists as they have blown them away with star power all over the ground.

Fans can be forgiven for feeling a sense of DeJa'Vu as Millicent and South Gambier collideonthelastSaturdayofSeptemberfora second straight year and adding another chaptertooneofthegame'sgreatrivalries.
Sherrin to them is gritty ruckman Finn Grimes, who soldered through the entire physical semi-final against South Gambier withabrokennose.

IftheSaintsallowtheDemonstofindtopgear and accelerate with a lightning chain of kicks, the game could be blown wide open in a matterofminutes.
Time will tell whether this will be the last ever Bendigo Bank Western Border Football League Grand Final, but no matter what the result, the action that will take place at Vansittart Park this Saturday will go down in recent qualifying semi-final, the fate of the holy grail could hinge on how effective South's power-packed forward line can break throughMillicent'sdefence. The Demons were the most potent goal kicking team by a mile with coach Brayden Kain leading from the front alongside the similarly dangerous Brodie Foster, while if they cannot take the marks many youngsters like Mitch Sims and Colby Munro swoop in withtheirspeedandconvertthecrumb.
The Tigers will pin their hopes on best and fairest Brodie Allen and defensive skills of OscarDempsey But whether North can even get close to an undefeated Demons outfit that won the qualifying final between the sides by points is adifferentstory The likes of Harry Gibbs and Ashton Lindner will use the recent game as inspiration to pull offsomethingspecial.
GRAND FINAL PREVIEW F.L.THOMAS MILES - SE VOICE
South Gambier hopes to make it a high five of Under 18's flags, but standing in its way is a North Gambier side dreaming of lifting a trophyonhometurf Despite these two teams being the standouts in the competition, the Bulldogs have struggled to keep up with the Demons when theyhavemet.
Under18–SouthGambiervNorthGambier
Under16–SouthGambiervMillicent
LastyeartheUnder16'sfinalewasanallSouth Gambier affair, but the Demons will have at least some competition this year in the form offamiliarfoeMillicent. Jed Sims and Jace Maxwell have been the stars, but one team that has troubled them recently is the Saints, who closed to within sevenpointsinthefinalround.
The big day will kick off with South Gambier's youngest of its five sides taking the field againstEastGambier'sonlyrepresentative. But with the goal-kicking exploits of Jaiden Picken and ball-winning ability of Jarvi Mee, East hopes it has the firepower to cause some headachesonthebigday
Under14–SouthGambiervEastGambier
While the Bulldogs will have a crack, the Demons' depth with the likes of Harrison Hicks and William Attiwill shouldprovetoostrong and avenge last year's loss.
But having just one Demons team in the competition has put the club even further ahead of the rest with the side scoring 516 morepointsthantheirnearestrivalacrossthe homeandawayseason.
If the yellow and black are to stand a chance, they must negate the scoring threat of Liam TurleyandNelsonForbes.

we had a bit of déjà vu, with the seniors bowing out again the preliminary final. Too many ckets were spent ge ng to that game and it showed on the day We had a fair changeover of players this year and with 10 underage players making their debuts, including some U16s, our future is lookingpromising.On the whole,webelievethe yearwas a success,but weare notsa sfied.

The reserves struggled to fill sides all year, though not from the lack of effort by coach Young. Again, the juniors playing mul ple games kept this team on the park, but as a club we will be working on ge ng more depth back in the club in theoffseason.
Jansen and Lucy Denton have also moved onto high level netball and state level representa on and Lucy has been selectedintheAustralianunder19squad! That combined with a number of Glenelg FC representa ve players and Thunderbirds Netball academy players shows considerable talent and dedica on by those young people.

The Tigers are blessed with height in the shooting circle with Megan Wells and Milly Allen both strong on the hold and accurate on the finish, while Mia Dyson teams with the tall timber with her front cuts and speed on the drive into the circle and when she is not passing accurately to her shooting partner she is takingtheshotherself.

The Roos came from behind at the weekend to snatch victory from East Gambier so Millicent will be aware that West will not give up but the Saints should have the edge and win back the AReservesilverware.

That will rely on circle defenders Racheal Langford and Tayla Wilson Smith working in tandem–Langfordprovidingthe direction and Wilson-Smith the aerialbrilliance.

The West shooting circle has become a real weapon for the Roos with young guns Claire Hunter and Jasmine Davey combining well and finishing accurately Millicent will start this A Reserve grand final warm favourites but the West Gambier story looms as a fairytale and they have proven themselves in two tight finals and been in front when it countsmost.
