Tayla Harris

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.

If you taught her to kick like that 'vibes, get down to the MFC asap for a skills coaching job!

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

Just the AFL showing the "girls" respect.

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.
