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.

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

    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 😆

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
