I want to congratulate the West Coast Eagles on their fourth premiership win in a classic AFL thriller of a grand final. It was a heart-stopping last five minutes. The Eagles never dropped their heads, in spite of a tough first quarter.

I'll take a point of order on this!

I want to congratulate the players who did their supporters proud. A special mention to Lewis Jetta, who is from Bunbury. I want to congratulate coach Adam Simpson; captain Shannon Hurn; Norm Smith medallist Luke Shuey, who played a cracker of a game; the CEO, another Bunbury boy, Trevor Nisbett; and all the club volunteers. It was a great reward for the 17,000 fans who travelled to the MCG on that great Saturday.

I'll just mention that the Eagles flew 59,404 kilometres during their season—more than any other team, and certainly more than the 12,000 that Collingwood flew. I want to say to all of the players: you did Western Australia proud. I want to congratulate everyone involved in the club, and particularly the volunteers around all of our footy clubs in Australia, who work to give us the best game in the world.
