Not only has it developed into a battle cry for the side this season –but it may be a vision for Saturday, when Moama will look to lift the Murray Netball League flag against Cobram.
“We've had collective leadership in the 15s this year, so there wasn't just one captain. They all had a role that they chose,” coach Carri Carter said.
“Part of that was they had to choose values and they chose interesting values, like leadership, inclusion, fun, and trust.
“We've used that as an acronym that spells LIFT, so that's their catch cry now.
“If someone calls lift on the game on grand final it's not having a go, It's actually a reminder to remember our values and that we're playing with each other and for each other this weekend.”
Having already gone back-to-back, the Magpies stand on the precipice of three-peat glory, with the formidable Tigers the last team standing in their way.
Little has separated the two sides this season, with both having the same near-perfect record (17-1) with goal aggregate giving the minor premiership to the defending champs.
In the head-to-head contest, Moama pulled one over Cobram in round eight, triumphing by eight goals before the Magpies suffered a surprise defeat to Rumbalara 29-32 in round 13.
In the second head-to-head encounter for the season in the second semi-final, Moama earned direct entry to the grand final by 13 goals with Cobram having to do things the hard way, beating Rumba in the preliminary final 33-26.
Ahead of the grand final, Carter reflected on the Magpies’ last meeting with Cobram while outlining the keys to victory this Saturday for her side.
“We followed our game plan against Cobram, had the right structure and just looked like they had controlled the whole game which was really good,” Carter said.
“I've always said to the girls that the other teams have the privilege of being an underdog with nothing to lose, but we have the privilege that we understand finals pressure.
“We've just kind of gone in with the same routine and we said we're going to be calm and consistent and in control.
“We just keep instilling into them, play for each other and with each other, and no-one will beat you.”
The 15-and-under grand final will begin at 11am on court one.
