Feel slightly conflicted given my daughter plays for the hawks, but go Dees!  

I was at the practice match at Casey on Saturday. It’s hard to see anyone getting close to Melbourne tbh. Think North might be the biggest threat, as Lions and Crows have lost key players - however their home ground advantage means a lot.

Exceptional circumstances here Spalding. You must be really proud.
Maybe support the Hawk AFLW side during the home and away and come back to the Dees if the Hawks don’t make finals?

We've been lucky to have Mick & Daisy.

...with Mick still leading the group I've no doubt he will carry on building a great legacy.

Loved the story about the improvisation...a bit of Ted Lasso there.

Tissues please.....🥲

Wow, that was special. Memories and the feeling rushing back.

How blessed were/are we to have this group represent our club. The love and respect they have for each other is palpable. So deserving Premiers and I expect more to come.

They have to show this doco to the men's team and get Mick to talk to them before finals. "Brisbane unbeatable at home"  - sound familiar? When you have the talent, and above all, the belief in each other, it happens.

And now, after renewing my MFC AFLW seasons ticket, I'm about to watch the replay of the girls winning the flag.

DO NOT DISTURB

Loved the way players referenced Fitzsimon’s game (the run down tackle and the smother response) and what that represented for the team. It’s not fearing failure and knowing how to respond to mistakes - because footy’s full of them - that got us the cup.

Also, I’m officially on Tayla goal-celebration watch this season 😂

I’m sitting here, many months later, with tears in my eyes (again!). A brilliant  production, about a brilliant team of young women who did us all proud.  
Let’s go Premiership (AFL) and Premiership (AFLW) in 2023. ❤️💙

20 mins of bliss and tears. 

This club the last 3 years… like a Disney film… in that we had to remove a caricature of an individual to live happily ever after…

Wow! So, so proud of this team of INCREDIBLE athletes. Incidentally, Mick choking up when talking about how he desperately wanted Daisy to win a premiership was so moving. He’s a great coach and a beautiful person.

So excited for Season 8 to begin! We play Collingwood in the season opener… 7:20pm on Friday 1 September at Ikon (that’s the AFL pre-finals bye weekend). Let’s get as many people there as possible! Our girls (reigning premiers, no less) deserve the love and support.

GO DEES IN 2023!!!!

Such a great team. Definitely brought a tear to my eye.

I'll never forget being there live to watch them grab their first cup.

We've let Daisy go but I really hope we keep Stinnear within our club for a long time.

Improv training. What a crazy concept. I think it might have really helped the team bond even closer.

What a great month or two we've got ahead of us as a club.

Super proud.

Wonder where she will fit this year?

With McNamara back I would assume she will take one wing and Mackin the other.

Then we have sister Aimee...

It's going to be even tighter for spots in the team this year.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
