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.

I'm happy to put in $25 if that helps.

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.

Put me down for another $25 now $50

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.

At the moment Jasmine Garner leads 1 vote to nothing.

I agree - give her a go.

Happy with that - I'll refrain from voting to maintain impartiality.

Garner 2-0

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
