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!

    CARN DEES

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
