00:002024 Premiers, has it sunk in yet?
00:04Not yet, it still feels surreal.
00:07For the boys to come together and play the way they did today
00:12and get the result, it feels like a bit of a fairytale to be honest.
00:17I'm just so proud of the players and the whole footy club.
00:21It's amazing.
00:23It's a copybook win too, if you'd planned it right down to a tee
00:28it's exactly what you delivered.
00:30Yeah, we did.
00:32The players, they just brought into what we had to do to win this game this week
00:36and they executed it to near perfection.
00:40We got the game played the way we wanted it all day.
00:43We knuckled down when we had to, we shut it down when we had to,
00:47we tried to stretch it when we had to.
00:49We knew they were going to try and open us up
00:51and we kept shutting them down every time they tried.
00:55The discipline of the players just to do that all day
00:59when they were just consistently trying to break us, trying to break us
01:02and we stood up.
01:04Yeah, just so proud of them.
01:06In the three-quarter time, you've got a nice lead
01:09but you're kicking against the tide as far as the wind goes.
01:13Tricky wind all day to kick with.
01:15You can't afford to save the game at that point.
01:17You've got to still attack the game.
01:19What was the message?
01:20The message was we'd build our game for this moment.
01:25Our DNA and what we are as a group was set up for this moment,
01:30for the ability to control the source, be hard at the contest,
01:34apply elite pressure and dictate the ground from there.
01:37All we needed to do was do that for another 30
01:40and we knew that if that stood up and we maintained our coverage,
01:44it was going to be really hard for them to score.
01:46The key was to not let them get momentum in multiple majors
01:50and every time they got a goal, the boys just rose to another level.
01:54There's some sore boys out there, there's some boys carrying
01:56and they just dug and they dug and they dug.
01:58It was amazing.
02:00It's all about club and today we've seen, amazingly,
02:04Dales would pull off the big double.
02:06Yep.
02:07The senior football and the A-grade netball.
02:09Yep.
02:10I mean that, it is, it's just unbelievable.
02:13Oh, it's surreal to have an A-grade netball team two to three years ago
02:17and seeing your football team struggling and then, you know,
02:20if someone had said in two or three years' time we'll win the double,
02:23they would have laughed at you.
02:24But full credit to everyone at the club that stuck through
02:28and dug in and got it done.
02:30Yeah, it was a really good effort.
