The Swans duo’s and Lakers trio’s performances across the season helped both sides to finals appearances, which, in Avenel case, was ended by Nagambie to the tune of 42 points in their elimination match-up.

The Lakers would fall at the next hurdle, going down to eventual runners-up Shepparton East by 27 points.

After a miserable 2022 season in which they went winless in seniors and won only three games in reserves, Formosa has been instrumental in turning the Redlegs into a competitive side during the last two seasons.
