WAUBRA is kingpin once again.The Roos recorded a 25-point victory over Daylesford at the Eureka Stadium in Saturday’s grand final to claim the Central Highlands Football League premiership.Waubra’s desperation, attack on the ball and will to win gave it the initiative for much of the afternoon, despite a few nervous moments when the Bulldogs ignited early in the final quarter.A spirited 15 minutes at the start of the term added some suspense to the finale, with youngster Sebastian Walsh and Clayton Scoble kicking three goals between them as the Bulldogs cut the margin from 34 points to just 14.However, steadying majors by Tony Mirabella and Danny Liston clinched the win for Waubra, and a third football premiership for the afternoon.There was an outpouring of jubilation from the Roos and their supporters, who have had to wait five years since the club’s last senior flag.Coach Shane Skontra, who was at the helm when Waubra broke its 24-year premiership drought in 2006, said the triumph was reward for a season of sacrifice, which included an alcohol ban throughout the finals series.Skontra believed the success was as much about the team’s commitment as it was about on-field prowess.“In footy, you get what you put in to it, and I couldn’t be any more proud of the way they have applied themselves this year. For the players, this is great reward for hard work, so I’m really pleased,” Skontra said amongst a sea of blue and white in the Waubra rooms.“I think potentially you always think you are a premiership team if you are in the top end of the bracket, but realistically you have to get the structures and team playing with each other. I just couldn’t be any happier with the discipline of our guys, they are just fantastic. When you have got characters like that, you win games of footy. It was a real character-based season.”As was the case 12 months ago when Daylesford went down to arch-rivals Hepburn in the grand final, the Bulldogs’ rooms were downcast after a season that eventually amounted to nothing.None were more disappointed than coach Andrew Button, who lamented the team’s inability to convert opportunities into goals.“I thought we were a fair chance and probably one quarter cost us. We controlled the game at stages, but we couldn’t put it on the scoreboard. At the end of the day, they were too good for the whole game,” Button, who was well held in his match-up with Leith Pellissier, said.The lack of scoreboard pressure was evident as the Bulldogs managed just three goals until three-quarter time. This included a period of more than 40 minutes from late in the opening term until mid-way through the third when the Dogs failed to boot a major.“That second quarter cost us with the breeze, only scoring a point,” Button said.“I’d been on to the boys all week about how we are never out of the contest, and as long as you give everything you have got right until the end, no matter where you are, you’re always a chance. They started to show that they were, and we got back to two goals with about 10 minutes to go.”A spread of nine individual goalkickers showed the evenness of the Waubra display.Best on ground Aaron Gleeson was one player to stand out, having a heavy involvement around the contests and in goals, including one of his own in the opening term as the Roos established a 14-point lead.Waubra broke open the contest in the second term, as the Bulldogs barely attacked with the breeze, and the 27-point margin proved one that could not be recovered.Ash Whelan did a top minding job on Daylesford star Michael Cummings, who showed glimpses of brilliance in his first match back from a hamstring injury, while Paul Dodds produced some important bursts off a wing.For Daylesford, James Evans did a solid job on Waubra spearhead Lee Brown, keeping him to just one goal, midfielder Trent Nesbitt tried hard, particularly in the second half when he was busy around the ground, and Scott Winduss battled all day in the ruck.
