The team is locked in for the final round of season 2026. Congratulations to Dusty who plays his 50th match for the Eastern Warriors. The archetypal Short Fat Defender, Dusty’s exploits on the field are legendary and he is a great contributor off the field with his hilarious match reports and contributions via the committee this year. When not running around in the no. 8, Dusty can be found on the changeroom bench chewing thoughtfully on a lolly snake at half time. 

Magoo will be donning the Warriors jumper for the last time (for now) this Sunday, having been the club’s inaugural 55s coach and a leader over the past few years. Thanks Magoo!

The match is at 2.45pm at Elgar Park, Box Hill North – get there no later than 1.45pm for a solid warm-up ahead of a crucial chance for a win against South Yarra. White shorts – it’s listed as an away game. Team below:
