00:00This program's been unique.

00:07It's won championship after championship after championship.

00:10For the first time ever, the Canberra Capitals are the national champions.

00:18You know, the only thing it's yet to do is win a three-peat.

00:21The Canberra Capitals are champions on the WNNL.

00:25Everything we talked about all week, it's on the line right now.

00:32Graffi coming in from Sydney definitely had a very clear passion and vision around women's sport.

00:38She started having pipe dreams and why can't we be professional women athletes.

00:43I was a little girl that felt ripped off.

00:46Lauren Jackson.

00:47Lauren Jackson is the talk of the town.

00:50The million-dollar deal.

00:52There was people saying to me, mate, you've got to be joking.

00:55Nobody's raised that sort of money in Canberra, ever.

01:37Who wants to get on their front foot?

01:38Why am I still playing?

01:40The amount of energy and time that's spent leading up into a season before you even get to, you know, play a game.

01:47I didn't think I wanted to do that anymore.

01:49I openly gave my resignation if the club wanted it.

01:54Look at the pace of Jake Melvin.

01:56She wanted a three-feet.

02:00That's why she came back.

02:02I really wanted to give that to her.

02:05When you, like, look at that jersey, there's a lot, a lot of history.

02:08You've got to think about what's the legacy that you want to, like, leave in this 2020 group.

02:12Yeah!
