00:00 I'm joined here by Durani coach Nick Couch and Skip-up Regan Nunning.
00:03 Regan, I might start with you mate.
00:05 What's the first feeling, I guess, as a Premiership captain?
00:09 You were there last year, but as a leader of the footy club, mate,
00:12 what's kind of your emotions right now?
00:14 Yeah, no, just really proud, you know.
00:16 Coming through the Droonies for myself.
00:18 I'm pretty speechless, to be honest.
00:20 The whole club, the community, that's what it's about, really.
00:23 We'll look back at this in 10 years' time and it'll be about us,
00:25 but then it's all for them at the minute.
00:27 So really, really grateful and proud.
00:29 I know this club is, I think, three of the last four
00:34 completed seasons you've won for the way.
00:36 What makes this club so special?
00:39 What is it about it that you win Premierships,
00:41 you just know how to do it?
00:43 We've got a pretty good core group there at the minute
00:45 and they've been there for, I don't know, five, seven years.
00:48 And, you know, they're stuck fat and, yeah,
00:52 I don't really know, I'm pretty speechless.
00:53 But, yeah, I think that's the main reason.
00:55 We've got some good youth coming through.
00:57 Some boys are really starting to kick their gear up.
00:59 So, no, it's really good.
01:01 Nick, first year as coach, obviously,
01:04 player last year, coach this year.
01:06 Does it feel any different?
01:08 If it does, what's kind of the feeling being there
01:11 and seeing the group up close this year and being that mentor?
01:15 What does it kind of mean to you to be here today?
01:18 It's different emotions.
01:20 I think when you play, you're excited and, you know,
01:23 you're back-slapping, but when you're on the bench
01:26 and you're coaching, you get emotional
01:29 because you see the hard work the boys have put in.
01:32 You see the downs of last year, blokes missing out,
01:37 new players to the club, you know,
01:39 rewarding them for coming to the club.
01:41 And you get, I reckon you get emotional.
01:44 You feel good for the players that have stuck around
01:49 and you just feel good for them.
01:50 So that's probably the one emotion I take out of it.
01:53 boys, massive congratulations on the win and enjoy the celebrations.
