    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?

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
