Blackburn vs Mt Evelyn
Mt Evelyn do not have an enviable task this weekend. They have to try and defeat a Blackburn side that has not lost a game all year.
This will be the third meeting between the two sides, and Blackburn won the two previous meetings by 87 points and 21 points.
After finishing 2nd after the Home and Away season Mount Evelyn defeated Glen Waverley Rovers by 25 points in the semi final and then defeated Montrose by 43 points last week to make the Grand Final.
Under 18 Division One
North Ringwood vs Seville
The top two teams after the Home and Away season – the ultimate Grand Final battle.
Seville come up against a North Ringwood side who after losing their opening game have not lost a game since.
This will be the third meeting between the two sides this season. On the other two occasions, North Ringwood quite comfortably won.
After finishing 2nd, Seville have had a couple of close wins in the finals to reach the Grand Final. They scored a two point win over Heathmont in the semi final before snatching the win against Knox last weekend.
Senior Women’s Outer East
Healesville vs Monbulk
The two teams that have been the teams to beat all year are the ones facing off for the ultimate prize.
All three encounters have been won by Healesville, but Monbulk got darn close in the semi final.

| Round 6 | 0.2-2 vs 1.0-6 | 1.3-9 vs 1.0-6 | 2.3-15 vs 1.1-7 | 3.4-22 vs 1.1-7 |
| Round 14 | 1.2-8 vs 1.1-7 | 3.3-21 vs 1.1-7 | 3.4-22 vs 1.1-7 | 4.7-31 vs 1.2-8 |

One thing that Healesville need to work on is their accuracy. They could have had an even more dominant season if they had kicked a little bit straighter.

Monbulk would be feeling a bit more confident coming into this game after the semi final. Yes the game is at Healesville’s home ground, but if the semi final had gone a few extra seconds longer the Hawks could have snatched the win.
