00:00 Yeah, I'm very proud of the boys. I suppose if you watch the game you saw the last 10

00:06 minutes of their defence down there, that was what they've been building on all year.

00:10 So they weren't giving a backward step and they came out with a win. So we're very proud

00:14 for ourselves and the club.

00:16 Mate, we were relaxed. I suppose we could be because they had the pressure on them,

00:21 I suppose, being undefeated, which you know, they've set the standard all year. But I just

00:27 kept telling the boys, there's no pressure. You know, we've made our goal, we've got the

00:30 grand final. It's what the club wanted us to do, what the club thought we could do.

00:35 And then to come out and jag the win, that's just fantastic.

00:39 I think you'll go back to the Jason Holland era, the juniors 30 something years ago. So

00:49 he actually sent a message to me today and had a bit of fire and brimstone in there for

00:54 the boys. So he said that he's quite open to handing over that mantle now. He's been

01:01 the last bloke to win a juniors grand final, so we're happy to take it.

01:05 Game, man.
