The undefeated Brighton Grammar will host Caulfield Grammar in the APS firsts football grand final on Saturday.
A host of future AFL players will be in action, with 2026 prospects Arki Butler, Tyson Bradley and Jasper Williams and 2027 prospects Jake Miller, Riley Stratford and Archie Bakoulas leading the way for Brighton Grammar.
On Caulfield Grammar's roster are Gippsland 2026 first round prospects Marlon Neocleous and Wil Malady, 2027 prospect Harper McCullough and 2028 prospects Mac Hammerstein, Chase Whelan and Wil Thornton.
Thornton is a Carlton father-son prospect.
Brighton Grammar is widely viewed as the favourite given their bevy of more experienced and higher-end top echelon talent, but Caulfield Grammar is viewed as batting deeper across the board.

2.30pm: Quarter time at Brighton Grammar, which leads Caulfield 3.4 (22) to 1.3 (9). Quentin Hofmann, the brother of Geelong's Lennox Hofmann and Riley Stratford the other goal kickers for Brighton, both opportunistic goals from range. Brighton Grammar have had the ascendancy for the most part, getting their hands on the footy first around the contest and their marking around the ground has also been noticeable. Henry Thomas has led the backline excellently and Jasper Williams, promoted to Sandringham Dragons list and gaining draft interest off the back of strong school form, is putting in a shift. He has had the better of his direct opponent in the ruck and has taken some big intercept marks. Arki Butler has had some likely moments early and commanded attention without fully inserting himself in the contest and has even spent a period off half-back.
2.17pm: Will Malady takes a mark on the behind line and kicks truly. An important nerve settler for Caulfield.
2.07pm: Jake Miller has the first of the day after the ball has lived in Brighton Grammar's end in the early embers.
2pm: We're underway!
