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.

    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.

    How. Cool. Is. THAT?!

    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.

    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! :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 😆

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
