GRAND FINAL PREVIEW The pinnacle of the 2026 Airport Toyota Premier Division season is here. The grand final stage is set, and Aberfeldie and Strathmore are en route for Windy Hill.
Regardless of the eventual result, history will be made on Sunday for either the Two Blues or Mores, with Aberfeldie seeking its first women’s premiership since 2019 and Strathmore vowing to become the first women's side to win back-to-back premierships across two different divisions. Both are deserving premiers, but both have taken very different paths to get to this moment today. For Aberfeldie, its journey to Windy Hill has been one full of hurdles, but a determined and physically strong outfit positions the side as the team to beat. The Two Blues have been part of the finals mix every season since the inception of standalone EDFL women's footy, with heartbreak on the big stage unfortunately a common theme following grand final defeats across 2022-24. Last year, the Two Blues concluded the season as the minor premier, but two shock finals losses saw them bow out on the doorstep of the big dance.

Abers entered 2026 with some new faces and were looking to “become a team that is known for its contest, connection, and consistency and is hard to play against every single week” as co-coaches Ashleigh Gunn and Emily Smith stated in the pre-season. That is something that the side has certainly achieved this year. Picking up 11 wins across the home and away season with only three blemishes along the way, the Two Blues boast an average winning margin of 62 points. They know how to win, and they know how to win big. Strathmore’s route to Sunday’s decider has been nothing short of a fairy tale, with 2026 marking the Mores’ return to the women’s top flight following two polar opposite seasons in Division One. Following their second consecutive wooden spoon in 2024, the Mores brought together a new-look list of players ahead of season 2025. It was a year of dreams for Strathmore, with the side bouncing back from its pain to go undefeated in full stride. The Mores won a thrilling Division One grand final against Burnside Heights by six points

AIRPORT TOYOTA PREMIER GRAND FINAL PREVIEW
and secured their place back in the Premier Division. In the pre-season, coach Shaun Bannister wanted to make 2026 the year Strathmore solidifies its place at the highest level. “A flag or finals appearance would be amazing, however we’re realistic, therefore we really just want to show we belong in Premier Division.”
Aberfeldie’s case to win the premiership is strong, but Strathmore’s credentials are just as worthy too. One thing the Mores will look to do is compose themselves both on the scoreboard and on the field. Strathmore was put to test early in its elimination final against Essendon Doutta Stars after it trailed early.
The Mores have well and truly proved their point, with the gold and navy blue finishing the regular season third with an 11-3 record.
A week later, the Mores were on the edge of their seat as they survived a late Oak Park surge in the preliminary final.
Captained by Eloise Egglestone, who’ll be one of the front-runners come best and fairest night, Strathmore recorded two firm lead-up finals victories.
The Mores are seeking revenge for when the Two Blues thumped them by 71 points in Round 5. If there’s a time to get back at your opposition, Sunday is prime real estate for doing so.
Aberfeldie will hope it’s another walk in the park. Winning by 71 points in the only clash between these two sides this season, it was a muscleflexing win for the Two Blues all the way back in Round 5. A cohesive side has come out of Clifton Park, with a well-knit team proving fit for premiership medals. Leading charge in front of goal are spearheads Mo Hope and Emily Smith. The duo has kicked 77 goals between them this season and know how to become a handful against any opponent early. Chloe Rafferty is also another key player for the Two Blues, often finding herself listed alongside Hope and Smith in the weekly goalsheet. Olivia Madden, who will also be up there in the best and fairest count, has had a brilliant year but her selection will be one to watch having recently missed. Madden’s ability to dominate across the ground is something the Two Blues make the most of on a weekly basis, with her strong marks and driving kicks game-changing. Lara Churchill is another trusty ball magnet, while Amelia Wright stands tall in the centre.

A star-studded playing list puts Strathmore in a good position from full back to full forward. Taylah Gilcrist, Milla Murphy, and Talia Motta are cool, calm, and confident in front of the big sticks and are often the difference in either winning or just falling short. Gilcrist has been on fire in this year’s finals campaign, scoring five goals in the elimination final and two in the preliminary final. Jasmina Curtis has also stepped up her goaling game, scoring a goal in each of her last three matches. Captain Egglestone will be out for another premiership after rejoining the club at the start of this season. Named in the best in 15 of her 16 matches this year, Egglestone has been by far the standout of Strathmore. Someone who can also do that is Sarah McKinnon, who fits in perfectly wherever she is placed on the field. It is the best two teams, with the best lists of players, going head to head for the ultimate glory in their football careers; the 2026 Airport Toyota Premier Division premiership. Who will win? It is time to find out.

MEN’SWEEKENDOUTLOOK COMMUNITY BANK STRATHMORE PREMIER DIVISION By Luke Mathews Strathmore will meet with Pascoe Vale at Section Road with a place in the qualifying semi up for grabs. The Mores have spent nearly the whole year sitting on top of the ladder however slipped up late in the year against Maribyrnong Park which ultimately cost them the minor premiership. The reigning premiers are, however, in familiar territory with the side defeating Aberfeldie in the same match 12 months ago on their way to the premiership. Pascoe Vale solidified itself as one of the contenders early in the year but remained slightly off the pace of the top two. In their two meetings this year, Strathmore has taken home the four points on both occasions, winning by 17 points in Round 5 and 28 points in Round 14. One deciding factor on Saturday will likely be the contest battle. Pascoe Vale is the best contested possession team in the competition while Strathmore is currently ranked third. The Panthers have won the contested possession count in their two meetings in 2026, however haven’t quite been able to put it on the scoreboard.

Strathmore hasn’t done much wrong in 2026 but will need its midfield to bring their A-game if they want to meet Keilor next weekend. Maribyrnong Park and Essendon Doutta Stars are set to square off in an elimination final in a landmark moment for both clubs. Saturday’s match will be Marby’s first finals appearance since 2017 with no player from that side still at the club. It’s been an even longer wait for Douttas who haven’t played Premier Division finals since 2006 and haven’t played finals at any level since the 2015 Division One grand final. Both teams have had up and down seasons with upset victories and disappointing losses, however one of these sides will have the chance to play in a semi final next weekend. The last four meetings between these two sides have been split two apiece, while this year Marby won the first clash by 28 points before Douttas won the second encounter by nine points. One deciding factor on Saturday will be how Marby can cover for Brandon Ryan. The full forward was instrumental in the first meeting between these sides, almost single handedly winning the game for the Lions with seven goals. Ryan is the Lions leading goal kicker in 2026 with 44 majors, while their next best is Scott Clarke with 21.

MEN’S WEEKEND OUTLOOK
COMMUNITY BANK STRATHMORE DIVISION ONE By Noah Wallwork West Coburg is facing Oak Park in the qualifying final at Kings Park Reserve. Oak Park enter this game fresh off a 15-point victory over Moonee Valley. After surviving a 34-point surge from Moonee Valley in the last quarter, they will be full of confidence against the minor premiers. West Coburg will be fresh after having the week off as minor premiers. The last time these two sides met was in Round 14, where Oak Park enjoyed a 35-point win. It started with the midfield dominance for the Kangaroos, as they ended up plus 16 in clearances and were plus 15 for inside 50s. Tom Baravi continued his fine form of the season with 32 disposals, seven clearances, and a goal. He forms part of a strong midfield unit that will look to get back on top this time around. The winner of this game will advance straight to the grand final, while the loser will face the winner between Moonee Valley and Tullamarine. Moonee Valley will face off against Tullamarine in the elimination final at Joe Brown Oval on Sunday. Moonee Valley has just come off a 15-point loss to Oak Park, while Tullamarine knocked Craigieburn out of finals with a 65-point demolition. The last time these two teams faced off was in Round 18, with Moonee Valley running away with a 25-point victory. Despite winning the clearance battle by 12, the Demons failed to capitalise on their forward entries. This was worsened by their inaccuracy in front of goal, kicking 14 behinds and nine goals. Conversely, Moonee Valley kicked truly with 14 goals and nine behinds.
THE FOOTBALLER | essendondfl.com.au
Demons duo Joshua Cowell and Joquin Bugeja ran rampant with Cowell collecting 25 disposals, 10 clearances, and eight tackles, while Bugeja recorded 26 disposals and five clearances. For the Valley, Callum Clinnick continued his stellar form for the season with 26 disposals, five clearances, and four tackles. Luke Denny proved to be a problem for the Demon defenders with four goals. The winner of this match will face the loser of the match between West Coburg and Oak Park.
COMMUNITY BANK STRATHMORE DIVISION TWO By Jake Reeves Glenroy and Westmeadows will be looking to find their spot in the decider when they face off at Burnside Heights Recreation Reserve on Saturday. The Roys fell short against the ladder leaders Coburg Districts by three points in last weekend's thrilling finish. Glenroy was down by 42 points at the final change but a seven-goal-to-one final term almost stole victory over the undefeated Coburg Districts side. The Tigers made light work of Hadfield in their elimination final clash at Joe Brown Oval on Sunday afternoon. After a tight opening quarter of footy, Westmeadows found its best in the second with seven goals to none and did not look back for the remainder of the match, piling on the pain as Hadfield’s season came to an end. Jake Young was superb in last week's contest and is typically one to impact with his touches. Jordan Hollow was prolific for the Tigers last weekend, conjuring 28 disposals and a remarkable 13 clearances. The winner on Saturday afternoon will meet with Coburg Districts at Windy Hill on September 5.
