Josh Reichman, who announced after the third consecutive grand final defeat he would be stepping down from his role as coach, led the Warriors back into the decider with a chance of causing an upset.
He also overcame the hoodoo with Kolora-Noorat as Old Collegians defeated the reigning premiers on four occasions this season, including two critical finals.

The Warriors A grade side started the season strongly and kept up good form to finish fourth behind the powerhouses of Dennington, Nirranda and Timboon Demons.
