We were the bigger side of the two, which was a bit of a flip from what we had last year (against the VAFA).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They moved the ball really well on the outside early and took advantage on the scoreboard and we couldn&#8217;t peel it back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was disappointing when we had that many shots and opportunities. We left a few easy ones out there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would have been a big scalp and a big story for Bendigo football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the coaches box early in the final term, Stevens admitted to a sense of expectation of what even one extra early goal could have meant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We felt we could really get a run on and it could turn pretty quickly. Even Ben (Talarico), the O&amp;M coach, thought that too,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Credit to the boys for persisting. They&#8217;ve bought into the program really well; they&#8217;ve become a connected group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We harped on that towards the end. We hope they can keep that connection post the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even when they cross over and play each other week-in, week-out, hopefully the bond that&#8217;s been formed is kept.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Proud is the overall word I feel now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Golden Square&#8217;s Joshua Kelly won the Robert O&#8217;Connell Medal as the BFNL&#8217;s best on ground.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2026\/05\/2a99c15d-1f8e-4044-9_09554.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"960\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The BFNL will get a chance to atone for its loss when it travels to Ovens and Murray country next season for a rematch.
