Adelaide Crows 4.5 (29) defeated Melbourne Demons 2.4 (16) to claim their third premiership and cement themselves as the AFLW’s greatest team

AFLW

Chasing their third flag, the Crows were just a bit tougher and a cleaner all game, and despite a third quarter rally from Melbourne, the home team ran out worthy winners when Danielle Ponter broke away and goaled to seal it for Adelaide.A dejected Melbourne captain Daisy Pearce, who was rumoured to be playing her final game in a glittering career, told her vanquishers:In a torrid opening quarter, the backlines of both sides duelled for early honours.

But Adelaide came back from the long break refreshed and refocused and made a perfect start to the second half when Danielle Ponter marked strongly in the goal-square and converted. With the grand final slipping away, Melbourne had to counter and did, stepping up the pressure and attacking through the corridor. Their reward was a vital major to Melbourne’s Kate Hore after a long ball from Tayla Harris. It narrowed the margin to 10 points and kept the crowd on the edge of their seats.

Then came the goal that broke Melbourne and delivered Adelaide their third premiership. With five minutes to go and Melbourne pressing, a quick transition found Danielle Ponter who had been a menacing presence all afternoon. Ponter marked strongly, played on, and threaded a super goal to delirious crowd scenes.
