Mossimo 118 - Syn City 103

Mossimo have celebrated their 20th MCAFL season in style having claimed their inaugural Premiership. The Meerkats held the vantage point from Friday night after the Lions-Hawks game went poorly for Syn City. Seven 100+ players did enough for them to keep the Blues at bay with the result pretty much known before the final game on Sunday. The Meerkats are the first team in the competitions history to have gone from Wooden Spooners to Premiers in consecutive seasons.

In claiming this title the Meerkats have also stopped a run where they last four Minor Premiers have gone on to win the comp. At the completion of the regular season, they are the first team to win the title from third place. In fact, they are the first team to win it outside of first or second since 2010. Quite a few interesting records being broken... Congratulations Kaz.

Had the winner not been Mossimo, many would have been gutted for Syn City. The Blues were deserved Minor Premiers and rightfully on track to win a second title in five years. However an unfriendly schedule not only ended their eight game winning streak, it led to their lowest score of 2026. Ash's drafting was elite this year. 14 of his original 17 played in the GF (11 of 12 in the starting line up) and they had eight players in the top-50. Bad luck Ash, if it helps, your the 12th Minor Premier that didn't go on to win the comp.

In the Vic Price Trophy, Capper County claimed their third best-of-the-rest title after an entertaining 132-125 win over West Fisher. It was the Clangers second best score of 2026 and the win means they stay undefeated in VPT finals. Well done JR.

Note the 2026 season continues for one more week with the introduction of the Gazzas v Badgers AllStar Game. A template will be added to this page soon - all you have to do is nominated three players from your team (1 Defender, 1 Mid and either 1 Ruck or Forward).

Congratulations Mossimo
