That was the motto chanted after a grand final win three years in the making for Barwon Heads Seagulls in the Bellarine Football League.
Local footballer Brock Close was part of the winning 2019 grand final team, and has now gone back-to-back - after a two year gap due to COVID - in winning the 2022 grand final at the weekend too.
The Seagulls went into the game as underdogs against a strong Torquay Tigers line up, having been beaten by 75 points against the Tigers in the semi-finals.
The game was played at Grinter Reserve in Moolap, and touted as a one horse race.
But the Seagulls would soon show the stunned crowd that the narrative was about to be re-written.
Barwon Heads made a strong start and never looked back, limiting the Tigers to their lowest score for the season.
