WEDDERBURN'S stellar second half of the season culminated in a thrilling nine-point grand final win over Wycheproof-Narraport.
The Redbacks fought off a spirited second-half comeback from the Demons in the North Central league decider to post a deserved 18.16 (124) to 17.13 (115) win.The Demons appeared out of the contest at halftime, more than six goals down and with star former North Melbourne forward Corey Jones off injured.
But Jones returned on one leg and, with three goals in quick succession, inspired a third-quarter surge that cut the deficit to only 11 points at the last change.
Despite the Demons hitting the front midway through the final term, two goals to Wedderburn sealed a hard-fought win.
Redbacks ruckman Brett Strange was awarded one of two best on ground medals, with the other going to Jones, who finished with six goals.
