Ok Red,

i'll set it up and you knock it down.....

What's a Piecost?

Been waiting to use this joke again for about 30 years, so thanks Biff.

Actually I don't know what a pie costs. I also haven't bought a pie for about 30 years.

I would imagine they are now a few dollars.

    Don't get me wrong, I think a women's league is a fantastic thing, it just doesn't interest me. The same way men's netball doesn't interest me.

    I agree ET perhaps it will appeal to me over time.

    I cannot get into the Big Bash. I like cricket but the sides are made up with no history and no tribal back ground

    As well the players change each season.

    Perhaps i will get into Female footy at least there is a established team to support.

    I'm ambivalent

    male and female tennis cricket cycling squash and (soccer) football both interest me for the contest , skill and theatre.

    However I am a male and the vicarious experience of males playing is more attractive to me. I relate to male involvement and reflect on my own capacity against that benchmark. 

    I have enjoyed playing with Females but as I age fear that concentrating on females leaves me open to accusations of sexist behaviour.

    It's different from the men's game and will grow with time. I don't look at it as a comparison to the blokes, rather a style of footy that's more straight forward, which can be appealing to watch. Here's hoping the AFL don't f*** it up and remove the grass roots feel or turn it onto a commercially focussed business (fat chance of that not occurring). I know a couple of women in the new comp, including one of the marquee players, and hope to take a bunch of young kids to see a game or two over the next month.

    Enjoy mate sadly I cannot raise the same enthusiasm.

    It might have something to do with the time of the year.

    Yes I am sexist only watch woman sport if the woman look good and most men are the same, it won't take off, they will get good numbers watching this year but that's just the novelty factor.

    The ball they're using is smaller and lighter so they may be able to kick further.

    We might want to wait until the league actually begins.

    Its hard to be excited by something that hasn't even started.  I am keen to see Daisy strut her stuff, she very highly rated by her peers

    Diametrically opposite view Redleg on AFL.

    However, I understand your view point, For me, it can depend on the sport. I retain a strong interest in Women's Olympic Sports. However, I am not very interested in Women's Road Cycling compared to the men. Cricket similarly. However, I suspect that if I had a daughter or daughters that were top sportswomen I would follow that sport with great interest.

    Perhaps attitudes can depend on the culture and history of a sport together with the marketing or lack of. Bullfighting comes to mind!

    However, the AFL women's comp has definitely got me interested as I think their skills are terrific. Also a women's comp just seems the right thing to do given their involvement in the sport particularly as spectators since the early games played in Yarra Park.

    I have no problem with the competition being formed, I am just personally finding it hard to garner any interest.

    On the other hand if we made the GF, well !

    I often kicked a footy with Fred Cooks daughter.She could roost it 50 M on the left and a good 40 on the right foot.No exaggeration .

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
