Transcript

00:00 and Sam victorious under 14 premiers how you feeling? Great always good to win a

00:05 flag with the boys especially since we tried so hard throughout the season just good to see the progression.

00:10 Yeah feeling awesome thanks Justine yeah and the boys were really excited to play

00:15 today and I'm glad they were able to get the reward. They gave it everything either way so it's nice to get a chance to celebrate.

00:26 Great first quarter and then North came back in the second what did you think was the decisive factor in the game?

00:33 Hard work, a lot of coming in for a group just giving it all we got.

00:37 Coming back and sending man-hour forwards and everyone playing their part.

00:42 Yeah it was very hard forward so we had to make sure that we stuck at it right across the entire four quarters.

00:51 It wasn't going to break over at any stage so it was a good hard forward win.

00:56 And Paddy best on ground today for your performance how are you feeling about that?

01:00 Great, great. I was a bit nervous after the opening to this but once I sat around it just felt good.

01:06 Playing with the boys working hard but the win, best times just a bonus.

01:11 And what did you make of Paddy's performance Sam?

01:14 I thought he was awesome. We've needed him to be awesome across most of the year but certainly our finals.

01:19 He leads from the front for us in the ruck and right around the ground so he was awesome.

01:32 Excellent and was there anyone else you thought stood out today guys?

01:35 Yeah there was a few to name but I reckon it was really just the team group, team work, the four win.

01:44 I agree with Paddy, it needed to be a hard forward team victory and it was.

01:50 We got something out of everyone so I couldn't be more pleased as a coach when that happens.

01:55 And you're allowed the league and North Lawnable agreed to have extra players today. What did that mean for you guys?

02:01 I'll go. It meant the world. We've had three finals before today where we've played 26 which was the rules and we understood that.

02:13 We've had some boys miss out which has been really tough but the way they've handled it has been amazing and they've continued to try.
