chasing a rare double, winners

He's got it well won.

Told you.

Thank you.

NEWSREADER:
In local news,

the Australian Democrats

could be without a new deputy

leader until mid-November,

after none of the...

Someone could do with

an early night.

Um... Yeah, I'd love to.

Unfortunately, the Eagles

are playing North at the Dome

and Jason's flying back

especially, which is terrible,

because I hate football.

- Sure.

Eagles! Eagles!

Go, Kerr! Go!

DAMIEN:
Come on, Kerr! Come on!

Daniel Kerr down towards the 50.

Archer makes the decision,

comes to him.

BOTH:
Oh...

And pass to Priddis. Tackled by

Sinclair. Oh, wonderful by Judd.

- Go, Juddy! Go, Juddy!

- Oh, Juddy. Come on, Juddy!

JASON:
Come on, Juddy!

DAMIEN:
To Lynch! Goes to Lynch!

The long bomb for the game!

Oh, he's hit the post!

ALL:
Oh...

Scores are tied up. 102 apiece.

The Kangaroos and the Eagles.

Jason McCartney brings it back

for North Melbourne.

DAMIEN:
Go, Cuz. Go, Cuzza!

JASON:
Go Cuz! Look, look!

BOTH:
Yes!

JASON:
Go! Go!

JASON:
Yes, pass!

For the long kick forward

to the full-forward zone.

McCartney!

CROWD:
Oh...

JASON:
Would somebody, anybody,

please stop McCartney?

He's murdering us!

Back come the West Coast Eagles.

Short one finds Hansen

JASON:
Go, Juddy! Go, Juddy!

BOTH:
Juddy! Come on! Go!

JASON:
Juddy! Come on, Juddy!

CROWD:
Oh...

(Crowd roars)

(Horn)

The West Coast Eagles have

won it in the dying seconds.

What a remarkable game

of football.

- Yeah!

- What did I tell you?

Fifty bucks says

we win the flag.

Come on, let's head down

the rooms and see the boys.

Whoo!

- Sorry, buddy. In a rush.

- Hey! Who have we got here?

One of your biggest fans,

Mr Oliver. My grandson.

- Go ahead. Say g'day, son.

- G-'day, mate.

Grandad's back's

a little bit more welcoming.

(All chuckle)

Ah. Jason Oliver.

- A man who knows his racing.

- Better yet, a West Australian.

JASON:
Nice.

I saw your father win

the Perth Cup.
