We won this against all odds, really. Nothing was in our favour. Nothing was going our way. It almost seemed like a concerted effort by all to stymie everything we did. We were given no help, no advantage and were going into today as massive underdogs, not because of the footy we’re playing but because everything was stacked against us. So this win is even bigger and better than it appears.

So bloody proud of this team. They’re most deserving of a Flag. And… they’ve got one!!!! Awesome rewards for awesome efforts. ❤️💙

First para nails it for me WCW.  Blind-sided frees guesses by umps in first 1/4 had me worried about their standard.

We got nothing.

But.... we had Daisy ( apologies to others)  7 disposals, 6 contested. How lucky as a club to have a Gawn/Pearce leadership combo.

Someone should Have told Lions skipper and the BoG player that the Dees won, not them and the skipper was clearly reading what was meant to be her victory speeeh. Weird and unclassy on their behalf.

Thoroughly deserved by the Dees though.

 

Adelaide had 4 players in the All Australian side including the vice captain. 

They had the leading goal kicker of the year

4 players in the AFLW U22 team

Starcevich was the coach of the year. 
Ally Anderson won the League B & F. (Or as I like to cal it, the Daisy Pearce medal) 

Emily Bates won the same award 6 months ago

They got to play at home today and bought their their own umpires

But we proved the old adage that a champion team will beat a team of champions. 
And we are the CHAMPION TEAM!!!

They had 5 in the 22 under 22 to our 2 as well.

Tahlia Gillard didn’t even make the squad. 

Today, she shut Wardlaw completely out of the game.

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.

I thought that was Gillard’s best game.

Agreed. She’s been very good with the occasional stuff up all home and away season. Probably found the pressure a little hot the first 2 finals but came in to the games. Today she was on from the start.

And yet here you are, not only reading the AFLW Grand Final thread but also posting in it.

No chance beyond that Ds. 


Awesome win in probably the highest pressure game I've seen from this comp. We stood up after Brisbane threw everything they had at us in the first quarter. So proud of this group and happy we could do it for Daisy and Paxman, who I hope will go around again next year.

I get that it’s hard delivering a speech after losing but surely you just keep it straight to the point: congrats to the winners, acknowledge your teammates and staff, quick thanks to the sponsors, and thanks to the fans. Should be no longer than 2-3min.

It dragged to the point I switched off and only came back for Daisy’s speech (which went only as long as it needed to). 

I still can’t believe I’ve seen Demons teams with 3 premierships in the last 16 months. Bloody proud.

16 games played for 15 wins including a flag. That’s Boweyesque! She must be thinking this footy caper is pretty good.

Ive said it previously but I reckon she will be in the All Australian squad by the end of next season and then entrenched in the team after that. If she could become better overhead she could anything.

Mad Monday celebrations tomorrow just got rowdier and way more raucous. 🤣

Not bragging, except 100% totally bragging I got an invite to Mad Monday, along with @Katrina Dee Fanwho may or may not be back from Brisbane in time. All good if she’s not, I’ll just party hard for both of us. 🍺🥂🍷🤣

Get some photos with the Cup!

I was working today so had to rely on SEN’s coverage of the game😱

Whomever  thought Zorko could pass as an eloquent expert comment’s man was obviously high on pickle juice or some other concoction.. he was embarrassingly inept and inappropriate, and seemingly unable to string 2 sensible words together.

From what we've witnessed of him on field, I'm not surprised. Not a captains Ahole.


In hindsight the build-up suited us perfectly. All the talk was about the Lions. Took the pressure off us and heaped it onto them. They were not at their best today at all. We shut them down and they had no response. I think they got complacent. Delighted we beat them after all the carry on with the venue (which looked pretty good  i have to say. Just not enough capacity for a granny)

We've been winning premierships for fun recently but none at the G. Really want us to rectify that situation next season

Would love for the club to release some premiership merchandise and memorabilia like the pay did last year. 
 

A Royal Selangor AFLW Premiership Cup would go very nicely with my 2021 one 😁😍

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?

MACKIN!!!

What a story!!


I have been out all day. I am going to be watching the replay now and sharing my progressive thoughts while ignoring everything said here until the end. 

The pressure has ratchetted up a few notches. You'd think it was a great game or something.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
