Women's football as a curtain raiser where the Dees and Bulldogs get to "draft" the best female players for a curtain raiser to the main game. Love it!

"In an historic curtain-raiser, women will play for Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs before a round-14 clash featuring more familiar male faces who play for the same sides."

I reckon there are a few playing in that game that could easily have replaced a few from our 2012 list Hardtack

If they have a good first half, a couple of them may be given the tap on the shoulder to come off and get ready for the latter match.

A wonderful initiative, well over due and I look forward to being in attendance to cheer on the Red and the Blue.

I hope the game is once again a breast cancer awareness fundraiser - strangely quite liked the pink yoke jumper for us and the pink stripe on the doggies jumper a couple of years back. Need to do it again with the women's game on first. Will be a big night for all women footy watchers

IF we must wear the pink again maybe some genius at AFL HQ can ensure that the maggots aren't in pink as well - cost us the game a couple of years back, though of course vehemently denied by AFL. The flouro yellow would be fine....or green.......or white!

Had conveniently forgotten about that mono, had it safely tucked away along with memories of what's his face who picked up about 20 touches in the last quarter

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
