00:00 Ailish, Riele and Matea, girls you've all won premierships this year, a family feat
00:06 bringing three premierships back home.
00:08 How does it feel this season to be able to enjoy that together?
00:13 It's a pretty good win, it was a relief to get all the games done and over.
00:18 It was exciting for all of us.
00:20 Really good feeling I'd say.
00:22 Yeah, lots of celebrations.
00:24 I felt really proud of my team, it was really exciting.
00:28 Ailish, you did it on the football field, can you tell me about the day the Roos won back-to-back flags?
00:36 You've been in a few, what was that like to get that done again?
00:40 It was really good, we played Terrain and they came really close to us in the last game we played in the season with them.
00:48 So we were very nervous going into it.
00:51 But we prepared well that week and we came away with a win.
00:55 We won by quite a few goals in the end but it felt really even on the field.
01:00 So to win it was just amazing.
01:03 Riele, on the netball court can you tell me a little bit about the team this year and how proud are you of the group going all the way?
01:10 We were undefeated all year, which was pretty good going into the grand final.
01:15 It's always been a close game against Keroit.
01:18 It was really close at the start, we ended up winning by about 12.
01:21 We were all nervous at the start, so we only got up by two most of the game.
01:26 Natalia, you went from third on the ladder all the way to the premiership.
01:31 How did you see the team grow to get to that point?
01:35 Our team definitely got better towards the end of the season.
01:38 We ended up third on the ladder and we were all nervous to verse the top two teams.
01:43 But we worked well together and knocked them off and then versed them off on four.
01:47 So it was a great win.
01:49 You said there were celebrations for the club, great to see so many Roosters teams bring home flags.
01:56 What was it like to celebrate that at the end of the weekend?
02:01 The atmosphere was amazing, everyone was so happy.
02:07 We all came back to South and there were so many people, families, supporters, volunteers, sponsors.
02:14 Everyone came up and it was just like bringing everyone together and it was a great atmosphere.
02:21 It was a great feeling for the club.
02:23 Everyone was super supportive and it feels really good to be a part of South.
