Mammoth Re-signing: 28 Demons Stay Loyal To Club

[Dees_In_October 3,495]

Caris is stepping away from football after 6 games with the Dees to focus on netball.

"Caris was signed on as a training partner with the Melbourne Vixens last year, while she was also selected in the 21 and Under Australian squad."

I was certain she'd go to another club in need of a ruck, didn't realise netball was in the mix. Best of luck to her.

Ooo can it be that demon horns one?  Love that picture so much 😁

That would be awesome! I’ll put it to Il Capitano. No matter which pic it is though, I like the idea of having it floating majestically above our heads for all the Collingwood fans to see at our QB game. In particular, their feral cheer squad at the opposite end of the ground. 😝

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 😆

I saw that as well. My theory was that she is here for the VFLW season which kicks off very soon.

She told me after the grand final she was going to be hanging around in the new year.  I didn't think it would be for this long, however she seems to really love life in Melbourne.  I'm not sure what the situation is with her Gaelic commitments, though

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. 🙃

My understanding is the mens ones were produced by us, the women's ones were done last year by the club.  That's what others have told me.

We order both men’s and women’s and they’re beautifully printed by (shameless plug comin’ atch y’all ) MAD Printing, a company run by our own Mario, a diehard Dees-man and stalwart of the DA, and all-round top bloke. End of advertisement

So, by the nature of Maggie C's departure (best wishes, Maggie) the premiers remain entirely 'unpoached'? Extraordinary. Pride-inducing, too.

Yep.  Apart from Daisy retiring, all of the remaining 22 from the premiership team is still at the club.  Maggie didn't play in the grand final.
