There are player profiles on the MFC website. Her name is Chelsea Randall and it describes her as "a brutal competitor". Western Australian though, so go home factor may be a risk

[frankie_d 1,471]

Love the game plan! See ball get ball. Kick long. Beat your opponent. Punch when behind. Spread hard.

I think Peter Giles is playing on the wing

[45HG 1,559]

Chelsea Randall is tearing it apart.

Our girl Jasmine Garner has been very lively and just kicked her first goal!

Go Dees! Dees by 31 at the moment.

[45HG 1,559]

Dees win by 32.

8 single goal kickers.

Where's the farkin song????

[S.R.J 418]

Lets hope we have the winning feeling after the mens game tonight

[Pates 9,660]

Great work, wish I could've been there. I hope this becomes a regular thing, congrats to the Dee Girls!

Now if only the other female Melbourne team could win...

She was unbelievable. I was super impressed by the skill level. Great to watch.

Good to see a post from you Sloonatic. Glad to see you're still as sensitive and subtle as always.

[Craig Drinker 179]

Melbourne got a win!!

[Little Goffy 14,645]

Now if only the other female Melbourne team could win...

We have another female team? Awesome!

Oh, wait, you were being an useless misogynist. Good for you little man, whatever makes you feel good.

Anyway, numbnuts aside, what a great day for football; a good small step on a long road.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Anyone know how Daisy Pearce went?

Misogynist? Putting aside the fact that I'm a female and was clearly joking, how was what I said misogynistic?

[Little Goffy 14,645]

Well, the text as presented pretty unambiguously used 'female' as a reference to weakness / lack of ability. Which is practically the definition of misogynist language.

Neither your gender nor attempt at humour change that at all.

But maybe you were being sublimely ironic, referencing other people's use of 'female' as a term denoting unfitness for football, and turning it on it's head by noting that here was a competitive, winning team and gee don't we all wish our team played like a 'bunch of girls' more often.

In which case, sorry for misunderstanding.

Did you know there have even been studies about how at a certain point it becomes impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and a parody of that extremism? On the internet the cross-over point is very low because of the frequent lack of cues like 'scare quotes' and the tragic absence of a sarcasm font (though the use of reverse italics is being promoted slowly).

[Little Goffy 14,645]

Also -

Women can play football!

Women footballers could probably play football a lot better if they were not systematically excluded from participation in all the main development pathways from the age of 12.

Chelsea Randall's daughter might have a fair shot if progress keeps being made and the idea that Women Can Play Football becomes a normal one.

[Cards13 9,117]

Haha great all round!

[Dee-licious 1,954]

Anyone know how Daisy Pearce went?

Won best on. Some really good performances across the board. Loved the work of 3, 5, 17, 18 and 31!

Whilst the game wasn't telecast I have it on good authority that the link below will provide a full replay at some point tomorrow. For those who are genuinely interested check it out.

Chelsea Randall throws herself at the football like a predator. I'd happily pay money to watch her and her ilk play again. The kid's a jet.

Going off on a tangent here, a guy I know who was doing his maths masters told me that the world is divided into 2 types of people; those that divide the world into 2 types of people and those that don't.

I know two further versions of that joke:

1. The world is divided into 3 types of people; those who can count, and those who can't.

2. The world is divided into 10 types of people; those that understand binary, and those who don't.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,092]

Totally agree on Randall. Her contested marking was awesome. The only problem is she needs better range on her set shots. Still, I would have had her BOG ahead of Daisy. Great start to the night to have them get up so convincingly. Also great to get the trifecta for Melbourne with wins to Casey and the mens side.

[DemonFrog 1,356]

Does this win mean that the MFC ladies have won the Grand Final?

LOL
