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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
