Awsome news.  A great day for our club.

I'm wondering if Daisy is the first AFL player to give birth during their playing career, or have their been any others in AFLW of lesser profile we just didn't hear about.

    Fantastic news!  Great to see mum and bubs healthy. 

    ...Maybe Daisy will swap the red and grey swaddling colours to red and blue soon.  Then again, the club has probably already sent her baby dee jumpers with # 6 on the back with their names or with 'mummy'.

    Fantastic news. Made my Monday! Congratulations!

    Serious question. Has the AFL created a mother/daughter or mother/son rule? If so, what are the requirements (apart from the mother actually having a son or daughter, or, in this case, both)?

    And congratulations to Daisy and her suddenly bigger family.

    A class act.

    Hard to measure Daisy's contribution to the Club but it has been huge. 

    Has brought so much not only to Women's footy but the whole club. 

    Total respect from all. 

    Now a proud Mum with two little Demons. 

    She gets everything right. A girl and a boy. Perfect.

    Congratulations, Daisy!  Well done!

    Now, no more slacking off!  You are expected back in full training by Thursday, and line up with the team next weekend!  (Well, if the blokes can do it after the birth of their kids, why can't the sheilas? -- the age of equality and all that!  ONLY KIDDING LADIES)

    This is an earlier thread but I can't get behind the paywall to answer the question.

    Congrats to Daisy and family. We now have two new recruits that we can start developing at an early age. Teach them that there are only two colours of significance in the universe (red and blue of course) as well as  the six times table. Too early for ball skills.

    Hope that when the AFL decides to introduce rules for mother/son and mother/daughter recruitment that any time spent on 'being mum' duty is counted.

    Hadn't seen the photos with bonnets when I wrote this post. Great start but now for the clothes.

    The bubs in red and blue beanies which look especially knitted - very becoming ?

    Hope Daisy makes her post playing career at the Dees; an incredible asset to our club.

    Great news and awesome result. Future mens and womens team players maybe.

    Super rapt, Daisy really is amazing, as are all mums who have just delivered a baby, in this case two. This news made my day, and the women flogged Brisbane on the weekend, perfect football timing.

    She is great for the club and is the highest profile Melbourne player in my living memory.

    All round superstar!

    Can't help but love Daisy.

    Unlike some who have come from relative obscurity to stardom, Daisy demonstrates humility, good sense and admirable values.

    Congrats to her, her partner and families.

    I still remember the media interview, at the start of the league, I think it was AFL360, when she said I am only going to Melbourne in front of Gil. My love was huge right at that point, only grown since, absolute rock star that I think is very influential on raising our club's profile.

    A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting (or fanboy ambushing, call it what you will) Daisy at my workplace. She graciously signed a picture, made out to my then two year old twin girls. The picture has been stuck to our fridge ever since.

    The other week, I took the girls to their first ever game of footy - the AFLW game against the Filth at Vic Park. The previous night, I proudly presented them with their first MFC jumper and revved them up for a day on the terraces. As my heart burst with pride, they declared they we 'just like Daisy' and proceeded to start training immediately in the living room. What a day we had watching the girls beat the old enemy on their own infamous, stinking turf! It worked on another layer too as my Pies loving father used to take me there as a kid before and after I 'Deefected', and he joined us, much to his spiritual chagrin. Poor grandpa.

    Anyway, the only issue I had was the girls craning their necks, frantically trying to find Daisy. I explained that Daisy wasn't playing because she was close to having twins, just like them, but this excuse didn't wash and I had to quickly placate them with popcorn and hot chips. They expected Daisy to have played yesterday too! I expect them to debut in 2034 at CHF/CHB, no pressure.

    How good is it that my little ones have such an awesome role model and a whole generation of girls can now look up to heroes just like them. Daisy is a massive asset to the MFC and AFL in all areas and she just bloody rocks.

    Congratulations to Daisy and her partner and welcome to the wild and wonderful world of multiple parenting!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
