00:00 No surprise out of them too that you can't wipe that smile off your face back to back premierships.

00:05 It's a dream come true.

00:07 Yeah it is. I mean I've been at this footy club for my whole life and as I said out there,

00:11 when I was a little kid I dreamed of winning one and once you win one, Ronnie always said you're hungry to go more

00:18 and the taste of victory and the taste of success is just so, so sweet.

00:22 And the fact that you took control as coach on your own this year was a big call.

00:27 You've been at the club all your life so you're coaching mates but obviously there's extra added satisfaction from that point of view.

00:37 Yeah, I bleed green and gold and like the old man's played over 300, a life member.

00:42 Didn't have much choice myself but just the family that is involved, like the Toohey family is,

00:49 like Marie Toohey, Jimmy Toohey-Shearer, Brandon, Grizzle, the rest of them, like it bleeds deep.

00:56 I bleed green and gold and yeah, it's just so, so good.

01:00 Yeah, tell us about that. It's all about community. I mean there's 22 guys out there today

01:06 but you spoke about almost 40 players going through the senior ranks this year.

01:10 But it's beyond that. It's all those people in the room. You'll go home, there'll be people that haven't been in the game

01:15 and it's all for them as well, isn't it?

01:17 Yeah, definitely. Footy is a journey and this footy club was on its knees not too long ago

01:23 and it just comes from hard work, grit and grind and that's what I think our 22 go out and show

01:29 is just we just grit and grind and we just keep working and work for each other

01:33 and that's the true Gordon spirit so it's awesome.

01:36 Look, our back-to-back's fantastic but there was one call during your post-match speech,

01:42 three peats. Too early for that, isn't it?

01:45 It's never been done but we'll enjoy back-to-back first.

01:48 for this.
