Womens State League to fire up in 2016

WOMEN'S football has received another boost with the establishment of a Victorian state league competition aligned with the VFL for the 2016 season.

I reckon this is fantastic.. Reinvigourates footy in the burnbs etc. Fends off those other silly games in a fashion. A building block

Should work well in conjunction with the new Womens National League

Go you good girls

Go Dees :)

    Hopefully the Cranbourne team that is in it morphs into a Casey team to align with us. That could then be a direct feeder to the national team we must have when that starts.

    Interesting observation 'Chris'.

    My initial reaction was a 'natural' fit would be with the Melbourne Uni team, given the name, the location and the direction of our marketing focus......but they would need to change their colours...unlikely I would think!

    Does anyone know which clubs the players from the Demons Womens Team come from?

    BTW Taylor Harris is, like Daisy, a great role model and ambassador for the women's game.

    Building the new womens league image around these two would give the AFL very best chance of getting their new academy and league up and going.

    I think the Demons should aim for a partnership with multiple women's teams - it is obviously not going to be a high-cash competition and what we can offer fairly easily is advice, 'coaching the coaches', and joint publicity programs.

    Heh, imagine, 2017, Goodwin takes over at Melbourne, Roos takes a step back, maybe stays involved as a coaching professional development mentor, and gets involved as a coaches-coach with the women's leagues.

    One day, some day, Melbourne will reap a 'Rookie B' listing out of all this, and football will never be the same.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
