Melburnians are celebrating after the Demons won their first-ever AFLW premiership, defeating the Brisbane Lions 2.7 (19) to 2.3 (15) in yesterday’s Grand Final. Over 7,400 people watched from the stands as the Demons trailed for most of the first half before a rousing comeback saw them overtake and hold off their opponents, bringing redemption after last season’s grand final loss to Adelaide. Demons captain Daisy Pearce who is yet to reveal whether she will play again in 2023, was ecstatic as she talked about her teammates, saying, “Every single one of them had a moment today; I’m just so proud.” Also having a great time was singer Delta Goodrem, whose pre-match show was a huge hit. And despite the loss, it wasn’t all bad news for the Lions… Shannon Campbell was named Best on Ground after being credited with preventing Melbourne from scoring an even bigger win.
