    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?

    What a mark Hanks

    As Daisy said, Hanks is the League's most underrated player.

    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.

    Reckon we can do the double next year. AFL and AFLW flags. That would be some achievement.

    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

    I'm absolutely rapt and we defended so well keeping them goaless after quarter time but we won a gf only kicking 2 goals. 

    Like if I didn't support one of these teams I'd be saying that was a very very low scoring gf and probably should have been higher scoring

    Yeah but that means she'll start her coaching at Geelong.

    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

    ❤️💙🏆❤️💙

    Does anyone know if there’s going to be any premiership merch available? 
    Most specifically, a team poster? My kids rightfully pointed out they’ll need a girls poster to match the boys!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
