We'll find out when the video gets uploaded, assuming it does.

I have to say I was pretty annoyed that there wasn't a team list in the Footy Record. How hard would it have been to do a couple of articles and respective sides for the Women as well as the men? It was frustrating as hell sitting there trying to figure out who was doing what.

There was one, but it was well buried -- page 49 in the middle of nowhere, basically. I didn't find it until after the game!

Took the family to the women's game last night. I was really proud of our football club. Their involvement is to be applauded. I can't tell you what a buzz my daughter got seeing young women playing footy so well on the MCG. Congratulations to all involved and for a historic win to the Melbourne Football Club.

If your daughter is any good at football it appears there is a need for 18 stand in players in the last quarter.

As the Boys need to get ready their night out on the Town about 20 minutes before the end the game.

It would be great if someone could stop the opposition scoring at that time.

But hey, its Melbounre, and they will always do it differently.

It was great to see the MFC becoming a real family Club.

Game is now available:

Enjoy!

Fantastic!

I can't believe this wasn't broadcast - at least on Foxtel or 7mate or something!

I couldn't even watch the game on the AFL subscription app on my tablet, such a disgrace.

Thanks so much for the link. Right after dinner I'm going to set myself with YouTube and some popcorn.

Just curious since I haven't seen it yet - how many of the players would look at home in a men's AFL side?

Not many. Chealsea Randall would be as close as you'd get. She was pretty physical and attacked the contests hard and at full pace. It's those two things more than the skills that would be the difference.

I'll also note that there is no way in hell Daisy Pearce was BOG. She was involved in a lot of the congested stuff but didn't actually do much in there. She had very good disposal when she got clear, but there were other players who had far more impact. I'd have gone for Randall or Blackburn.

Had a look. Agree with all that. The Dogs skipper was pretty good too.

Gee a colt by Schwartz out of Randall would be worth following !

Congratulations to the Dees womens team - they were terrific. I thought Chelsea Randall (3) was outstanding and loved the tackling machine - Kiara bowers (17).

There was a team list in the Footy Record - it just wasn't anywhere near the other pages about the women. I'll see if I can find the page number later I when I'm home.

Was good of HB early. Kicked the first ever score in an AFL women's game. I think I saw that she also got the first ever goal. You'd take that right?

Thanks for that....Is the daughter of a good mate of mine....Glad she played well...

i agree totally! Some people aren't willing to put 100% into this idea ... There should have been way more publicity on this than there was!! AFL! Put in or shut up!! And the media dropped the ball on this one.... Their so busy searching for negative stories about players lives, that we don't give a [censored] about! to see when a truly positive monumental story about football comes along...... Was it a women in footy thing? Or another hate MFC move.... Who knows... What I know is they missed what could have been the best story in football for the year!!

Seriously: Been at both(?) of the games so far. Stirring stuff (possibly - but hopefully not totally - cos we won). This is something MFC MUST retain a pre-eminent role in. Nailing my colours to the mast, I reckon a womens comp should be the curtain raiser comp to the AFL.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
