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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons head back on the road for their fifth interstate trip this season when they head up to Brisbane to take on the Lions under lights on Friday night at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?
