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...

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
