8 minutes into the game - two goals to nil. If you told me they would not kick another I would not have believed you. 

A combination of excellent tactics from the coach, unbelievable chasing and tackling, and skill from the girls. 

so proud and happy. I’m actually surprised how much this means to me after only 7 seasons

YESSSS!!! So well deserved. Not happy with the lions receiving BOG, the only reason their backs had a chance to be in the game was the excellent work of West, Hanks and Paxman getting the ball forward, BOG on the losing team should be reserved for absolutely stellar performances. Anyway, you bloody beauty! What a performance, beat them away, on a weird new deck, with the umpires giving us nothing. Go Dees!

I reckon it’s because this team is easy to invest in. They are so openly engaged with playing solely for the joy of the game and each other that it’s impossible not to find it meaningful. Add to that how meaningful is the rise of the women’s game in the past 7 years after 157 years of being unwanted at the highest level, and now a premiership for the ORIGINAL club - of both the men’s and women’s game, and there it is. Just great stuff!

We've done it! We are premiers. Go Daisy, Go Tayla, go everyone! We absolutely deserved this to the nth degree. This is a champion team and a champion club.

We are a silverware club now! So proud of these girls, so so proud.

i still want to know what happened to the last kick just before the siren.

it looked to be heading for the goals, but they cut the video of the ball before we could see

anyone who was there see where the ball ended up?

If that crossed the goal line and scored and not added to the final score that's just amateur hour, controlling umpire should have given the all clear. Don't they even know the rules at this level?

Well done girls on a historic first flag for the Dees AFLW team.

As Daisy said men’s flag, Casey flag, VFLW preliminary final and now AFLW flag.

Dees travelling ok atm.

Imagine if the men’s AFL side had won it this year as well. Would have been a long while before any club could claim that trifecta. Heck, 2/3 is even tough.

Daisy can retire on top. I reckon she has gotten everything out of herself. She will go down as a Demon legend. Absolute trailblazer and one of the toughest chicks I can think of 

Are we still talking about her footy career?

Wowee what a day! 
Just got the kids to sleep, they were still buzzing, as am I. 
What an amazing effort by our girls. I was as glum as could be at Q time, they were all over us. But we dug in with absolute resilience and determination, matching and bettering the Brions’ pressure game. An absolute slog. 
At the start of the last, I was a pacing nervous wreck when one of my girls said “relax, dad, we’re going to win”. I offered her top dollar for her magical crystal ball at the end! And talk about emotional reward for investment, I was a blubbering mess of tears watching Daisy make that raw post game interview! 
So proud of this group. And of the wider AFLW for empowering girls and women through our great game. The comp is as old as my twin girls, and as I watch both grow, I feel so grateful they have these female role models to look up to. 

And at the risk of being ungracious, can I just say a big ‘SUCKED IN’ to the AFL(W) hierarchy and the wider football media. 
Everyone had this game already won by the Brions , creating a narrative they are the unbeatable darlings and making a bloody shamozzle out of every aspect of organising this GF, putting us under every imaginable disadvantage. 
And we went up there and [censored] did it despite everything! Get a dog up yas! 
GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS

❤️💙🏆❤️💙

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
