Osborne Tigers coach Aalbers one win from coaching immortality
Myles Aalbers can become the first Osborne coach since 1970 to win three consecutive premierships if the Tigers beat Henty on Saturday.
Myles Aalbers has guided Osborne to back-to-back premierships in his first two seasons at the club. Now he has just one match left to make history.
No Osborne coach has won three straight premierships since the club joined the Hume Football League in 1970. Aalbers' side started the season 3-4 but have since rattled off 14 consecutive victories to reach the grand final.
They will face Henty on Saturday. While Henty enters as favourites after a week's rest, Osborne won't lack belief, the teams split their two meetings this season.
The side has battled a crippling injury toll throughout the year but remain virtually unstoppable.
