OAKLEIGH powered into the VAFA Under-18 Division 1 grand final with an emphatic 90-point crushing of Werribee at Kevin Bartlett Reserve on saturday.
Bouncing back from last week's loss, the young Krushers earned the right for another crack at arch-rival Rupertswood in the big one by demolishing the Tigers in some trying conditions.
Rod Jetta continued his form in front of goal by bagging eight with Aaron Cloke and Tom Costigan adding three each. Jim Mreulje, Aisea Valentini and Steve Scott did a lot of damage for the Oaks along with Matt Podesta and Paul Raso. -Neil Smith
