Jason Bennett, Matthew Donald, Brayden May & Hugo Higginbotham wax lyrical about an incredible weekend of PREMIER GRAND FINALS that saw the Holmesglen Under 19 Premier, Premier B & Premier C deciders go all the way to the final siren (and beyond), while history was made in William Buck Premier Women's.

The boys catch up with:
Old Scotch triple premiership coach DEAN ANDERSON, who talks us through how his team bounced back from their shock Second Semi Final loss to Caulfield Grammarians and overcame them on Grand Final Day to complete Part 3 of their 'Deanasty!'
Collegians star KENNY ONG, who was best afield as the Lions completed their perfect 20-0 season with a hard-fought win over a gritty De La Salle in the Prem B Grand Final.
Parkdale Vultures star MITCH BROWN, who tells us what their Prem C flag means to his club and to him personally after they hung on in a nailbiter against Fitzroy.
St Kevin's premiership hero JAMES MIKHAEL, who kicked the winning behind after the siren to deliver SKOB the Holmesglen Under 19 Premier flag in thrilling circumstances.

And they look ahead to this week's William Buck Premier Men's Grand Final and preview the big game with both coaches:
MATT SMITH from Uni Blues tells us how his team has been preparing & where their focus will lie on Friday;
DAN DONATI from Old Xavs talks us through their thrilling Preliminary Final win, and their keys to success as they take another shot at the Blues in the Big One.

So much to reflect upon, and so much to look forward to this week FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!
