Mammoth Re-signing: 28 Demons Stay Loyal To Club

[bananas 428]

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.

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

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.

How. Cool. Is. THAT?!

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

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

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

[Dees_In_October 3,380]

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.

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.

[Nicko 1,382]

I love this ♥️♥️💙💙

[Wells 11 5,401]

Super Impressive.  Loyalty in the woman’s  game still means something… or at least it does fr the dees! 

[poita 3,902]

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.

Now, where is that journo from the West Australian who was so adamant Paxy would be seeking a trade to Freo?

And did you hear Paxy call out the Demon Army on Saturday night for not having a giant face of her? Paging @WalkingCivilWar

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!

[Brownie 5,981]

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? 😉

Other clubs will be packin their dax. What great culture. Now get me some cool merchandise i can buy for daughter and neices 

[Dees_In_October 3,380]

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 😆
