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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
