"I enjoyed the way the boys had put in and they have taken everything on board with what I have tried to do."
Dwyer, who said the win was special for the club and also to him because his young daughter Bella was nearby, contributed a number of factors as a catalysts for his side's victory.
"Hard at it, winning the contest, winning the footy and being first in for it," he said.
Captain Tim Edwards and Nathan Forth were named best on ground for their efforts in the victory.
Forth slotted one of the side's six goals. Sam Lewis (two), Greg Bond, Bailey Brooks and James Ryan all kicked majors.
