00:04 win, you must be happy with that?

00:06 Everyone's dreamed of getting a Premiership and they finally got it and best on ground

00:09 is just a better touch to it.

00:11 And you must be feeling pretty on top of the world right now?

00:14 Yeah, pretty much am.

00:15 And have you won a flag?

00:16 Never, this is the first time I'm actually making finals and going all the way is pretty

00:19 good.

00:20 Jeez, did you know you were a chance, did you think you were a chance today coming in

00:23 or?

00:24 When we started playing a bit better and closer as a team, more team mentality, we started

00:29 playing a lot better and I felt like we could have got there and we did.

00:32 And what exactly do you reckon they did well today?

00:34 We played together as a team, I felt really well and like fighting back when they had

00:38 the momentum we played, we went well.

00:40 Yeah and they're a good side too, you must be happy with that?

00:43 Yeah, very happy, stunning.

00:44 And you've played with this club your whole life haven't you?

00:46 Yeah, I started at Eastbourne and then moved up to here.

00:50 So what does this, you've sort of covered it but what does this mean, it must mean a

00:53 fair bit.

00:54 It means a lot, not just to me but to the people around here, as you can see there's

00:57 lots of people here and it means a lot to everyone, not just me and I'm happy to help

01:01 out.

01:02 And you must be happy with your own game too, to get the best on ground.

01:06 Definitely.

01:07 And yeah, so this is your juniors over, on to seniors next year, looking forward to that?

01:11 Yeah, I still have one more year if I want but I'll probably try and go to seniors next

01:16 year.

01:17 And what do you love about this club?

01:18 I love everything, like just the friendship with the mates around here and just especially

01:23 like all the people that get around you, we have a real community here, a family mentality

01:28 and it really helps, I love it a lot.

01:30 And it'd be the first footy flag for the club in a while too wouldn't it, so it'd mean a

01:33 lot.

01:34 It does, yeah, as you can see lots of people here and it does mean a lot to everyone.

01:38 I feel like just being able to help out there means a lot.

01:42 Sounds good, well enjoy the celebrations mate.
