GRAND Final day is all about seizing the moment — and one young fella put on a chokehold when presented with his chance to steal the spotlight.

As master of ceremonies Craig Willis called out each member of Richmond’s grand final-winning outfit to collect their premiership medals, junior Auskick ambassadors met them on the dais to hang the medals around the necks of their favourite players.

Most are simply overwhelmed by being so close to their idols that all they can muster is a single word or just a handshake. That wasn’t the case today.

As Jack Riewoldt strolled up on to the stage he was greeted by an enthusiastic youngster and thankfully his booming voice made it up to the microphone as he proclaimed: “Congratulations, you’re a legend.”

With tears in the eyes, Riewoldt gave a quick handshake and then pointed skyward towards his cousin Maddie Riewoldt.

Riewoldt can label himself a premiership player but the legend out of this moment has to be the Auskick kid.

The kid giving Jack Riewoldt his medal just won grand final day - you're a legend. #AFLCrowsTigers — Bridget Lacy (@Lacytalks) September 30, 2017
