K Rock Football | North Geelong has completed one of local football’s most incredible turnarounds to claim its first GDFNL premiership in 12 years following a 24-point win over East Geelong in today’s grand final at St Albans Reserve.

39 matches after narrowly avoiding the 2023 wooden spoon with a final-round victory, the Magpies have overcome a slow start, which saw them trail by six points at the main break, to kick six of the last seven goals of the contest and win.

It was North’s fourth win over the Eagles in 2025.

“It’s just overwhelming, to tell you the truth,” coach Peter Riccardi said. “Who would have thought two years ago we’d lifting the cup today?

“It’s an amazing feeling.

“I’m rapt for the boys that have been there and the supporters that have hung around and endured a fair bit of heartache for a little while.

“We can put that in the rear view mirror and celebrate tonight.”
