EAST Loddon on-baller Josh Diss has starred with a four-quarter effort in the under 18 grand final.
The Rams kept pace with Marong in the first quarter, finding front position and winning the ball well across the midfield.
Both sides struggled for goals - a total of 11 behinds scored after being rushed or blown offline by an erratic wind.
Sam Hicks brought up the Rams’ major for the side to trail by one point at the first break.
An early Marong goal was answered by Jaxon Addlem but despite the efforts of Diss, Tyler Rassmussen and Columbus in defence, the Panthers started their customary breakaway from opponents.
East Loddon had the wind advantage in the third term but was only able to bring up two scoring shots, Rassmussen kicking what would be the only goal in the second half.
The Rams battled out to the end with Diss constantly frustrating Marong who were well served by Thomson, Hall and Hale in winning back-to-back flags.
