Match report from The Daily Advertiser's Jimmy Meiklejohn: Turvey Park has surged into the grand final after securing a comfortable 62-point preliminary final victory over Mangoplah-CUE. Ahead by just four points at quarter time, the Bulldogs then made their move in the second term, kicking four unanswered goals to open up a 29-point half-time lead. That same margin remained at three-quarter time, and the game was still within reach for the Goannas if everything went well in the final term. However, the Bulldogs then powered home, booting seven final-quarter goals to run out dominant 18.8 (110) to 6.12 (48) winners at Robertson Oval.
Progressing all the way through from the elimination final, Bulldogs coach Dylan Morton said it was fantastic to have now earned their spot in Saturday's decider at Narrandera Sportsground. "I'm extremely proud of the players," Morton said. "We've said that it takes 22 blokes too do their little part, and it's really clicked in that regard over the last three or four weeks, or even a little bit longer. "Blokes are just turning up and doing what they need to do, and as a collective it makes us much better. I'm really happy and proud of all the players as they've worked really hard."
In addition to crediting some standout performances in Jon Marsh, Tom Baxter, Zach Walgers, Jordy Endermann, and Lucas Roberts, Morton also wanted to celebrate the efforts of players such as Will Ashcroft, Hunter Higgins and Harry Stapleton, who carried out their respective duties. It's been a brilliant finals campaign so far for the Bulldogs which has them progressing through three sudden death finals to secure their spot in the grand final opposite the unbeaten minor premiers in Coolamon. 
Departing MCUE co-coach Nelson Foley was quick to credit the Bulldogs and coach Dylan Morton conceding they were simply beaten by the better football side. Foley highlighted a few key factors that led to their defeat, including an inability to win one-on-one contests and simply being overworked up and down the ground by the Bulldogs. Adding to the challenge for the Goannas was the fact they lost star midfielder Jordan Foote to a hamstring injury in the opening half. Harry Collins tried hard for the Goannas, while first-year players Ruben and Will Smith both showed plenty of promising signs on the big stage. Confirmed to be moving on for next season, Foley said it was a hurtful way for his 69-game MCUE career to conclude. "I don't know if it's fully hit me yet," he said. "I'm just pretty disappointed, as I felt like we had more in us. But I think there will a bit of sadness upon reflection."

Match report from The Daily Advertiser's Jimmy Meiklejohn: For the first time in 13 years, Coolamon are Riverina League premiers after they surged to a 44-point grand final victory over Turvey Park. 
The Hoppers dominated the opening term, kicking the first five goals to build a 26-point quarter time lead. They then booted six goals to one in the second term to enter the sheds at half-time with a 56-point advantage.
After a much more even third term, the Bulldogs rallied late to win the last quarter, however, it mattered little as Coolamon secured a 15.11 (101) to 8.9 (57) grand final victory at Narrandera Sportsground.
In securing their first premiership win since 2013, the Hoppers also became the first team since Ganmain-GGM in 2011 to go through the season undefeated.  
Hoppers coach Gavin McMahon struggled to find the words to describe his emotions after the drought breaking premiership win. "Believe it or not, I'm struggling for a few words for the first time in about three years," McMahon said. "That's just phenomenal. I know they've worked so hard, not just for one year, but for a period. "To trust the process and just stick at it, it's just phenomenal for them, and I'm so pleased they got what they were after."
The Hoppers burst out of the gates with four quick goals in the space of ten minutes through Nick Buchanan, Braeden Glyde, Aiden Macauley and Josh Allen to race out to a 25-point lead. Buchanan had his second a few minutes later, before Turvey Park finally hit back for a crucial goal, which reduced the deficit to 26 points at the first change.
The Hoppers continued to surge early in the second term, and through goals to Buchanan, Haiden Schloithe, Archie Perrot and Nik Dale, they were able to push their lead beyond eight goals. Schloithe's second of the term pushed Coolamon's lead beyond 50 points, before Ben Quilter was able to respond for the Bulldogs. Macauley's second of the half just before the half-time siren ensured Coolamon would hit the sheds with a 56-point advantage.  
It was a clinical opening half of football from the Hoppers, and McMahon said it was great to see his side at their best when it mattered most. "We came here to play the best football that we possibly could," he said.  "For a half we did, but when you play against good opposition like Turvey, they're don't going to let us do that all day. "Sometimes our best footy is about how we respond to what the opposition is doing, and the third quarter was probably all Turvey, to be honest. "Then we balanced up a little in the last, but the first half when it counted, was outstanding." 
Schloithe was a deserving recipient of the Ron Hutchins Medal for best-on-ground after a stellar four-quarter performance for the Hoppers. With Schloithe having been extremely valuable addition this season, McMahon said it was great to see the star midfielder claim the best-on-ground honour. "Scooter is the ultimate, so for him to get the ultimate award is certainly no shock," he said. "He's driven our group since the day he got here, and his confidence allowed our boys to walk a touch taller.  "That was what we needed as much as another high-quality footballer, someone to help with that confidence piece. "He'd delivered that in spades, so we're forever indebted to him for moving halfway across the country for us."
Luke Redfern, Oscar Perrot, Cooper McKelvie, Glyde and Dale were also outstanding for the Hoppers, and McMahon found it difficult to single out standout performers.
"It's a bit of a blur at the minute," he said. "We thought Nik Dale's work rate up and down the ground was phenomenal. The Oscar Perrot; it was a bit a coming of age for him today, as much as it was a high quality performance. "The boys though the middle in Coop (McKelvie), BJ (Glyde), Doc (Macauley) and all the usual suspects. Our back seven, they assumed a collective identity, and I thought they were pretty awesome as well."
There were plenty of green and white on the sidelines at Narrandera Sportsground in what was an outstanding turnout of support from the Coolamon faithful. McMahon said they had been feeling the support all season, but noted it reached another level this week during their final training session. "We've never had to worry about support at Coolamon," he said.  "Our supporters are phenomenal; the whole town travels to support, whether it's over to Griffith and Leeton, or just down the road to Kindra Park."
Bulldogs coach Dylan Morton was humble post-game, crediting Coolamon for their stellar grand final performance. "You're got to risk putting it all on the line to try and win," Morton said. "Losing is part of sport, and I think the last six or seven weeks have been really exciting. We came up against a really good Coolamon team; they're undefeated for a reason, and they were far too good. "You've got to give them a lot of credit for what they've been able to achieve this year." 
Morton said it special to see so much support for his playing group, and he noted it was disappointing they couldn't put on a better showing for those who had made the trip," he said. "I thought there was so much support, and it probably breaks my heart a little bit that we couldn't put up more of a fight with all of the support there." The grand final loss to Coolamon officially brings to an end Morton's two year tenure with the Bulldogs.
