The Melbourne Demons have won their first-ever AFLW premiership against the Brisbane Lions, downing ’em by four points. Bloody ‘yuge.
The nail-biting match was played at Brighton Homes Arena in Brissy, which makes the Dees’ victory even sweeter. Claiming a historic premiership away from home against the home-town favourites? We love to see it.
The Dees triumphed 2.7 (19) to 2.3 (15) under captain Daisy Pearce‘s stunning leadership.
“I’m just so proud of our group,” she told Channel Seven.
“They just played their absolute hearts out. It’s not a game that looks like one of our games but we found a way just through sheer heart and our spirit.
“Every single one of them had a moment today, I’m just so proud.”
Pearce also said the Demons’ premiership couldn’t have happened without the team’s “world-class” coach Mick Stinear
