It's that time again to take a lighter look into the big week following the 2021 AFL Grand Final.

Here's what's happened this week.

Neale Daniher Celebrates His Beloved Demons Win

Melbourne broke their 57-year premiership drought last Saturday night and nobody celebrated harder than AFL legend Neale Daniher, who shared his delight to Instagram.

Unfortunately for Neale, he was denied the opportunity to celebrate the special moment live in Perth due to ongoing COVID restrictions however the smile on his face proves that the location did not matter as long as the team in red and blue held the cup after the final siren.

Many fans, both Dees and others, re-shared the photo of Neale to their Instagram stories to celebrate the Dees great win with him.

Demons skipper Max Gawn had a stellar performance in the Grand Final and the games leading up to it, so naturally, the victory warranted this post-match celebration.

The Match was well fought between the Demons and the Dogs in the first half, however it was the third quarter that saw the Dees excel to victory over the Dogs.

Melbourne ended up thrashing the Dogs by 74 points and perhaps a few extra fans jumped on the Demon bandwagon as they were basically declared winners with 10 minutes of playing time still to go.

Former AFL player and media personality Daniel Gorringe showed his loyal support for the Demons via this tweet he sent out last week.

...And how every Dee fan woke up the next morning!

Fans also got creative in the lead to the match, with Twitter user Matt Stewart creating the Hollywood version of the AFL Grand Final via this tweet below.

It is safe to say he picked the team and matched the players with Hollywood stars quite well!

Dogs yield to none, except the Demons

The Dogs started off the game strongly and had the hopes of their fans weighing on their shoulders, but the team failed to maintain the momentum in the final minutes of the match.

Fans expressed their feelings in different ways on social media with some planning to plot revenge and others graciously accepting defeat.

Take a look at what some supporters posted ๐Ÿ‘€

Versatile midfielder James Harmes proved his moves are not reserved to the footy field as he displayed this epic shuffle to Melbourne Sound while his teammates cheered him on.

The partying was not limited to the Dees as Bulldogs licked their wounds from the heartbreaking loss and eventually hit the town to celebrate the season they had.

The Grand Final commentary and presentation raised a few eyebrows ๐Ÿ‘€ย 

Despite Perth putting on a fantastic show in WA, Lord Mayor and Channel 7 presenter Basil Zempilas copped backlash over his handling of the presentation.

Supporters expressed their frustration on social media due to Simon Goodwin missing an opportunity to make a speech during the awards ceremony. Zempilas was the presentation's MC and has since apologised for getting the presentation wrong.
