2025 William Buck Premier Men’s Grand Final Day
Take a look back at 2025 VAFA William Buck Premier Men’s Grand Final day at Elsternwick Park, as Old Brighton defeated Old Scotch to claim their first top-flight Premiership.
The VAFA congratulates Shiralee Nicholls from Old Geelong Football Club who has been nominated as the Round 6 Anytime Fitness Rising Star. Shiralee has made a significant impact in her first six weeks of senior football, leading the charge in the ruck predominantly on her own and she tackles every challenge with determination, which has earned her a spot in the best for her side on multiple occasions.
What the Club said:
Shiralee “Shezz” Nicholls arrived at Old Geelong, following in the footsteps of older brother Mickey. However, she is already forging her own path in the women’s team.
Despite having 2 years off as a result of a knee injury suffered playing junior football, she has made an immediate impact and shows no signs of slowing down. On the field, Shezz drives a strong presence in the midfield as ruck and also as the loudest girl on the field. The OGs girls love to build off her energy and enthusiasm which has placed us in a strong position this season.
The past 3 weeks have seen Shezz take her game to another level, stepping up as the sole ruck due to an injury. She has taken on this challenge with an intensity and determination that is unmatched. We are so glad to have Shezz join us this season at OGs and we cannot wait to have her for more years to come.
