Demonlanders,

As a curtain-raised to the Melbourne v Western Bulldogs match on June 29, there will be a match played between two women's sides - the first time women will represent an AFL side.

I think this is a fantastic initiative and I look for to watching them play.

As part of the initiative, Melbourne are calling on people to sponsor the players to aide them in their football journeys.

Cost is $500 and I'm keen to see if we can get a Demonland group together to sponsor - price depending on number. I'm happy to put in $50-$100.

4 players are already sponsored, so get around it.

Please note: I have set up a new thread as the other thread was distracted by a mixture of blokey rubbish and talk of the men's side. Please keep this thread to this cause.

The website with players' names, ages, details of sponsorship and a message from Grimesy and the club has been linked here.

Good post.

I've bolded the players who have been sponsored already (putting a cross through the name seemed wrong). Underlined players are Dees.

Get on quick peeps - only two top ten drafted players left...

I'll put in $25, I think woman's football as a curtain raiser is a great idea.

Fantastic! Great work D'landers!!

When I get a moment I'll list the players remaining and we can choose who we'd like to sponsor (if someone has time they could do that this morning?).

Team - suddenly our total has risen to 575! We can put in extra, of course, but if anyone would like to lessen their input if they're a bit tight up let me know as we have some slight wiggle room now.

I'll be choosing a player at 6pm tonight so get your selection in.

Go to go the 18 year old Victorian Jasmine Garner I reckon! The Dees are all about putting time into the youngsters at the moment.

I agree - give her a go.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
