Zach Tuohy paid homage to his roots as he celebrated Geelong's Grand Final triumph against Sydney on Saturday.
The Irish star was spotted holding a green and white flag reading 'Come on the town' following the Cats' 20.13 (133) to 8.4 (52) shellacking of the Swans at the MCG.
The colours are those of Portlaoise GAA, the club Tuohy played for in the Republic of Ireland before making the switch to AFL in 2011.
