Division 1 Seniors
Wandin 16.16.112 defeated Healesville 6.12.48
Healesville looked to be up and about early as they slotted the first goal of the game but it was really from there on that Wandin got the game on their terms. Wandin’s hard running and spread over the ground was just too much for Healesville to combat, Wandin booted 5 opening term goals while Healesville’s first goal of the game was their only one for the quarter which saw Wandin lead by 26 points. The 2nd term was a little more of a contest but Wandin still had more of the ball and arguably could have been further ahead than their 34 point lead at half-time after a 3.5 to 2.3 2nd term. Although Healesville did trail they did battle manfully in the 3rd quarter but for all their effort Wandin was still able to maintain a handy lead after booting 4.1 to 3.2 to go into the final quarter with a 39 point buffer. Wandin had threatened all day to run away with this clash and that’s exactly what they did in the last quarter as they held Healesville to just 3 behinds while they finished the day off in great fashion booting 4.4 to win by a very hefty 64 points to become undefeated Premiers for 2015. Wandin best players: “AFL VIC Country Best on Ground Medal” awarded to Josh Taylor (1 goal), Brad Harvey, Justin Myers, Jarrod Bayliss (2 goals), Dylan Taylor, Robbie Ross.

Olinda Ferny Creek 40 defeated Wandin 33
This game was everything you wanted a Grand Final to be for 3 quarters as it was impossible to separate the sides. The first term was a great opening as both sides went goal for goal and it was Olinda that held a 1 goal lead at the first change. The 2nd term saw both defences working overtime and goals became hard to score but Wandin was able to sneak their way in front at half-time after an 8 goal to 6 2nd quarter. The 3rd term was another goal for goal affair and neither team was able to gain any real advantage, both sides scoring 10 goals to see Wandin maintain their 1 goal lead at the final change. Olinda showed why they finished atop of the ladder in the last quarter and why they haven’t been defeated by Wandin this year, they were brilliant as they looked to go up a gear and their ball movement was first class leaving Wandin a little shocked, Olinda hammered home 13 last quarter goals to Wandin’s 5 to come away with a brilliant 7 goal win and become very deserving 2015 Premiers. Wandin best players: Tayissa Coppinger, Ruby Tidd, Gabrielle Sinclair (22 goals).

Olinda Ferny Creek 29 defeated Wandin 26
The first quarter of this game was a very low scoring encounter but it was a close one as Wandin led 6 goals to 5 at the first change. The 2nd term did open up a little with more free flowing play as both sides started to settle and it was Olinda that got their noses in front by just 1 goal at the half after a 9 goal to 7 2nd term. The 3rd quarter was another great contest with neither team giving an inch, both sides scored 6 goals for the quarter which meant Olinda held on to their 1 goal half-time lead going into the last quarter. The last term was another beauty and the outcome of this game was still in doubt deep into the term but Olinda was able to score the crucial goals to get themselves a 3 goal buffer and was able to hold on to that lead to win by that margin and become the 2015 Premiers.
