I'm a little bit proud to say I was Tayla's first senior coach a few years back. She missed four games and still won the League's B & F as a 15 year old. The kid is a star. Bit surreal to see images of her popping up on my favourite football forum. A national league now seems a formality. 220,000 viewers watched a game of women's footy on free to air footy. Exciting times and no less than girls like Tayla deserve.

    I'd like to take some credit but she was a freak before she got to me. She'd already been playing for 7 or 8 years bullying the boys along the way. As opposed to some of the other exhibition game girls who are talented and co-ordinated and take up the game as young adults, Tayla has always played footy like most senior AFL male players. Once the national comp is embedded this will become the norm and the standard will go through the roof. We will start to pinch the best soccer, netball, cricket and basketball girls when they see the money that will be on offer and the quality and depth will further improve.

    I played golf with a former Australian netballer about 10 years ago. She gave it away because she was broke. It seems all women's sport is slowly attracting more sponsorship and support. Hopefully a national footy league will add to the impetus. There a many talented sportswomen still being denied their opportunity.

    BTW. She kicked my arse at golf.

    Did you pay extra for that?

    I was at the game and in the previous quarters you could see the players look up at the clock and yell "Thirty seconds left" etc. The were all surprised when the siren went at 18:31. I reckon the doggies would have overrun the dees in that last 90 seconds, they had the momentum on their side.

    I thought it was absolute bulltish that the game had to finish right on 2.20pm so the guys had 1 hour to warm up. When they did the presentations there would have been all of 6 MFC players jogging about on the ground and there were no bulldog players out there for a full 30 minutes after the girl's siren went.

    It really pizzed me off

    My passion,aggressiveness and happiness watching whorethorn go down tonight is at the same level I'd feel after a great Dees win!

    Long suffering supporter syndrome? Fed up with the AFL syndrome? Both? I don't know.

    Psychologists feel free to diagnose.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
