Mammoth Re-signing: 28 Demons Stay Loyal To Club

Just posted in the trade thread, but thought this deserved a thread of its own.

The culture that Stinear and Daisy have built over the last eight years must be absolutely exceptional. Every single premiership player (minus Daisy obviously) and all our most significant players who missed out (including McNamara and Colvin) have just re-signed en masse.

How do you spell DYNASTY?!?!?!

    Yes, great news.  Though I do notice the one absentee - Maggie Caris.

    I can only assume she might be looking elsewhere in order to get some game time.  She's a very good young ruck with huge potential and would probably be starting in pretty much every other team.

    I do hope we can still hang on to her, Loz Pearce won't go on forever!

    Yeah, great news.  They really have created something special. Great that we can celebrate their premiership tonight.

    Huge! Unparalleled! Exceptional! 
    The other teams can target each others players. The other teams can argue about the injustices of the system. We will stay loyal and get on with winning flags. 
    Love this group.

    The news, of course! But also the video! 🤗

    Now THAT'S an epic re-signing announcement!

    This is us reaping the rewards for investing early in women's footy and taking a long-term view from the get-go. Well-deserved, if I do say so myself.

    Wonder if that video indicates that Kate Hore is the next captain? 

    It's a lock at this point, I reckon.

     

    So, the current list has 3 spots left (with Johnson presumably on the inactive list) and Caris un-signed.

    Said something that didn’t make sense. On a replacement bus from hell. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

    Truly amazing effort by all involved with the club and the players themselves. Clearly this is an incredible group to be a part of and they can sense more premierships in the very near future.

    PS. The lap of honour last night was pretty disappointing. Surely they could have named the players and put some GF footage on the big screen.

    Wasn't it! I hope the players got more out of it than we (and the club - good thoughts, @poita) appeared to be giving them! At least there seemed to be some nice personal interactions when they got round to the DA area where I was.

    That's actually more on the club, they had those faces made, not us.

    That story ran so hard I was slightly surprised to see her at the MCG on saturday night! :laugh:

    We've lost Daisy but geez I hope we've got Mick stitched up tight.
    I've mentioned it before, I think we should have him heavily involved in the men's program as well.

    It really is an incredible result. The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side unless you're at the MFC!
    Well done to everyone involved. Demon Spirit!

    I hope Mick and Daisy would write a book about it one day. It's been a pretty rocky road to the top for this team.

    It actually is on us, Kat. Ryan (our illustrious leader) decides which players are giant head-worthy, that is, players who’ve been with us for a while, since they’re very expensive to produce. Of course, as with everything we do, it has to be approved by the Club.

    We do have a giant Paxy head, it just wasn’t brought to the ground on Saturday night. Nothing personal it’s just that not every giant head can be there at once since they’re hard to transport. Unless of course someone is crazy enough to carry one on two trains and a packed replacement bus. But who’d be that stoopid, right. 🙃

    I’ve already put in a request for a giant Brodie head. Hoping like hell that can happen for our QB match. 😁

    If Giant heads were so hard to get into the fooly, how do so many collingwood supporters keep turning up? 😉

    Can't remember if I said this in the men's gameday thread, but was pleasantly surprised to see Goldrick still in town. Must be having an extended celebratory holiday? Assuming she didn't fly back from Ireland for the lap of honour 😆

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
