Fluke ended season, ties and close finishes set Diamond Valley League records this season. A mis hit by a lakeside ruckman won the Grand Final Replay for Montmorency by a point.

The scores were level in the replay with seconds to go, but a Lakeside's ruckman's punch to his rover slid off his hand and went through Montmorency's goal. As the ball was kicked off, the siren sounded to end one of the most dramatic finals series in the League's history.

Here's how the finals series finished:

FIRST SEMI - GREENSBOROUGH def ELTHAM by 2 points

SECOND SEMI - LAKESIDE ROVERS def MONTMORENCY by 1 point

PRELIMIARY - MONTMORENCY def GREENSBOROUGH by 4 points

GRAND FINAL - MONTMORENCY drew with LAKESIDE ROVERS

REPLAY - MONTMORENCY def LAKESIDE ROVERS by 1 point
