CEO's Perspective McGuane who has his eyes firmly set on a fourth Senior flag at Keilor.

His counterpart, Marty Allison has had an exceptional first year back in charge at the Mores and will be looking to take the club to the first back-to-back Premier Division premierships since Aberfeldie in 2017 and 2018.

The Mores have tested their depth with a number of injuries and have built into the finals series as one of the most in-form teams alongside Keilor.

This Saturday will be the first Senior Grand Final meeting between these two sides since 1998, which I was lucky to play in. The Mores were victorious that that day I can't wait to see who comes out on top in this contest.

What a way to wrap up the 2023 season this weekend with our Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division Grand Final.

It will be a sight to behold when Keilor and Strathmore run out this Saturday one the hallowed turf of Windy Hill.

Both these sides have had terrific seasons and are worthy competitors in the grand finale of our season.

Keilor are one step away from replicating their perfect 2019 season and have been emphatic in their pursuit of glory, superbly led by Mick

It will also be the second consecutive season that Strathmore will feature in all three games on Premier Division Grand Final day which is a terrific achievement.

Strathmore will meet Keilor in the Reserves, while Pascoe Vale will commence the day in the AGA Under 18.5 contest.

We wish all teams the best of luck this Saturday.

I also congratulate our premiers from last weekend. It was terrific to see premierships celebrated in front of full and jubilant stands here at Windy Hill for our Rookie Me Division One Grand Final day.

We applaud Deer Park on their significant achievement taking out their first Senior EDFL flag in their first year in the competition. They have been a wonderful addition to the league and we all look forward to seeing them challenge themselves in season 2024 in Premier Division.

We also extend our congratulations to Coburg Districts Under 18.5s and Hillside Reserves who took home a premiership cup in brilliant contests.

As our season comes to a close, I would like to thank all of our participating clubs, players, volunteers, umpires, officials, staff, and EDFL Board who have made 2023 a season to remember.

Without the countless hours contributed by our members, the success of this season would not have been possible.

The unparalleled support from our partners and sponsors has also played a huge part in the EDFL continuing to grow.

We look forward to a bigger and better 2024 for our great league.

Rookie Me Division One Grand Final Review

BY ERIC FORMAN LIONS ROAR INTO THE TOP FLIGHT Deer Park has added their first senior EDFL premiership cup to their trophy cabinet after a 21.14 (140) to 6.8 (44) thumping against West Coburg in the Rookie Me Division One Grand Final.

The Lions were coming into the game as the favourites after handing the Burgers their first loss of the season in convincing fashion in the Semi Final and were quick out of the gates.

Lachlan Smart bagged the first goal of the day after a nine-minute stalemate to begin the game.

A second 50-metre penalty sent Deer Park to the goal square as Luke Goater opened his account and kicked Deer Park’s second.

Todd Elton was collected high inside 50 and duly dobbed the set shot to round out their three firstquarter goals.

West Coburg were held scoreless in the first quarter and trailed Deer Park by 22 points heading into the second quarter.

Damian Galofaro got West Coburg on the board eight minutes into the second quarter as the Burgers kept the contest relatively even with just one point added to the margin at the main break.

Deer Park threatened to burst open the dam wall at times in the third quarter, but did so emphatically in the fourth quarter piling on 11 goals.

It was party time for the Lions as they neared the 100-point margin before eventually taking out the premiership by 96 points.

Nash Holmes was awarded the David McWilliam Medal for best on ground honours for a superb performance in Deer Park’s engine room, complemented by powerful midfielders Jack Dorgan and Wade Lees who shut down the dangerous Thomas Baravi.

Kier Bol was staunch in defence keeping Omar THE FOOTBALLER

Saad goalless, while Bailey Morrish was pivotal in setting up a lot of the Lions’ drive from their back half.

Goater was available from VFL duties and continued his finals form with six goals, while Elton (four goals), Scott Greenhough (two goals), and Smart (two goals) each kicked multiples.

It was a complete team performance from Deer Park and the culmination of a season of hard work.

Coach Heath Scotland told Star Weekly they were confident they could get the job done on the biggest stage.

“We didn’t really settle with our best side for most of the year,” he said. “We knew every team rose to play us during the year. For us getting the runs on the board and getting a system, the confidence come that pointy end of the season that our game style matches and stands up.

“I’m just pleased for the boys that they executed what we were rehearsing all year and extremely disappointed for some of those guys who have got us here and we couldn’t fit in the side.”

While the celebrations will continue on for a few days, the club will quickly turn its attention to next season when it will be in Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division.

“Certainly the administration were keen to get us straight across to Premier,” Scotland said. “[We went into] Division One and we were happy, bide our time.

“We’ll get over the celebrations and try and maintain our playing list. Hopefully all those will go down a point or two and we can target and recruit.

“We have to build from grassroots. We can’t keep adding players in and be on the points threshold every year.”

Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division Grand Final Preview

BY TARA MURRAY

While sometimes those figures can be blown out by big margins in games, for the Blues they did it against everyone.

In 18 regular season games and one final, only three times has the Blues winning margin been less than 50 points.

Their first final against Pascoe Vale, they were as clinical as they had been all season.

For the Mores, their premiership defence started slowly with more than 40 players getting their opportunity at senior level.

They were able to build into the season and while they finished the season in third, they entered the finals the second most in form team.

During the season, they had the second most points on the board and conceded the second least points, both behind Keilor.

Since Round 11 they’ve had just one loss, to Keilor, while they had a draw with Aberfeldie in Round 17.

Can Keilor be stopped?

That is the big question heading into the Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division Grand Final between Keilor and Strathmore on Saturday at Windy Hill.

While these two clubs have built up a really strong rivalry, the Blues will go in red-hot favourites to claim the premiership.

The Blues have had one of the strongest seasons in recent history in the EDFL and are aiming to go through the season undefeated.

The Blues averaged nearly 133 points per game, the clear best in the competition.

Defensively, they conceded a miserly 47 points per game.

THE FOOTBALLER

Both of the Mores’ finals performances have been impressive, with East Keilor and then Pascoe Vale proving no match for them.

In both matches they put the game away in the first half before running away with big wins.

All their stars are back and the side will back themselves to match it with Keilor.

Coach Marty Allison would be happy with what they’re putting together at this time of the year.

If the Mores are to cause an upset, they will have to change things from during the season.

On Good Friday, the Blues led by 15 points at half time before going on to win by 73 points against the reigning premier in an early statement.

www.essendondfl.com.au

Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division Grand Final Preview In Round 13, the margin was 76 points with the Blues leading by 50 points and keeping the Mores to just one goal in the first half.

It was a couple of their young guns in Keighton Matofai-Forbes and Jovan Petric who led the scoring for the Blues in those games.

Will Jury, Daniel Mighell, Athan Tsialtas, and Lachlan Johnson missed the last game between the two sides for the Mores, but on the other side Damian Cavka, Darcy Cassar, and Riley Ham missed for the Blues.

Surprisingly it’s the first time since 1998 that the two rivals have played each other on Grand Final day.

On that occasion Strathmore came away with the premiership in a big win and halted Keilor’s dreams of a fourth flag in a row.

On Saturday, the key to the game will be in the middle of the ground.

The Mores need to shut down the Blues run and carry which leads to plenty of inside 50s.

Both sides have class in the middle of the ground with Nick O’Kearney, Will Jury, Corey Ellis three that will see a lot of the ball.

If it becomes a shootout, the Blues will most likely come out on top.

The Blues have an unpredictable forward 50 with different options across the board.

Six players have kicked more than 20 goals for the Blues this season led by Matthew Clark with 52.

All six of those players have kicked bags of six or more.

Only the Mores’ Tom Condon has kicked more goals than Clark, with 63 goals from one less game.

THE FOOTBALLER

He is one of just four players for the Mores to score more than 20 goals. Condon is the only player to kick six goals or more in a game for the Mores.

If the Mores get up, they will need someone to step up and kick a bag.

Strathmore will bring plenty of experience into the match and will know that last year’s grand final thriller will hold them in good stead.

Fourteen of last year’s premiership side played in last week’s Preliminary Final with most, if not all to feature in the grand final.

For the Blues, they have plenty of premiership heroes too in their side. Eight of the 2019 premiership team played in the first week of finals.

Allison will be hoping for his first premiership as Strathmore coach in his second stint at the club, while Mick McGuane is going for his fourth premiership.

The two club’s seniors won't be the only ones in action that day either. The two clubs will face each other in the Reserves, while Strathmore is aiming to win the AGA Under 18.5 premiership as well.

The Blues have already claimed the Thirds and Under 16 Division One premierships, with both clubs again having successful seasons.

Come Saturday, that will mean little with the biggest prize up for grabs.

There’s little doubt that most people believe Keilor will come away with the premiership, but we’ve seen stranger things than a massive upset on the middle of the turf at Windy Hill.
