GAMEDAY: AFLW GRAND FINAL

[Lou C. Fur 912]

Fantastic. Just yes pure brilliant. Dees are Premiers. Well done to Daisy Pearce, Karen Paxman, Kate Hore, Lil Mithven, Taylah Harris, and all the team and the coach Mick Stinnear! Go you good things! GO DEES! P R E M I E R S!

 

[DubDee 20,563]

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

[layzie 28,708]

They're gonna need a mack truck to take out Karen Paxman 

[layzie 28,708]

Someone is going to win this one, it's fever pitch

[deejammin' 2,065]

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! 

[layzie 28,708]

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?

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.

[BDA 20,035]

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

[DubDee 20,563]

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 

[Queanbeyan Demon 5,920]

Premiership No. 14 in the bag. 

[dees189227 10,758]

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.

Are we still talking about her footy career?

Congrats to all the girls especially Daisy. What an inspiration! Great to see another Premiership cup. Gutsy win.

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!
