Demons in National Women's League

National women's football league set to expand to eight teams

Quote

With the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne virtually guaranteed to win licences, six other Victorian clubs are vying for the two remaining national teams. Only Hawthorn and North Melbourne appear unlikely to launch serious bid challenges.

... and Demonland will have its own section for the womens' game starting soon ,,,

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Wherever the women's game goes from here I am proud that we, along with the Bullies. will go down as a foundation Club. I can see Daisy Pearce will become one of the first "revered" pioneer names in the game.

Care to offer an argument in support of this view?

If you think it's "irrelevant" you have the democratic right to ignore this thread, any articles on the subject and our section on Women's Football when we get it up and running.

Also, if you really thought it was "irrelevant" then you wouldn't have wasted your time posting or the time that others spent reading it.

There was a survey(?) a little while go as to whether there should be a separate women's section on DL. Has that been decided? I think (as I think I posted then) that it should be just as much a part of DL as Casey discussions (if not more so). Apart from the watchability, and the expectation that our team's games will provide us with the curtain-raiser experience again, at last, this is going to provide us with premiership satisfaction - possibly even before this current crop of boys do!

Nah, separate sections is good, keeps the politics out of the main forum. For those only interested in footy (and not gender politics), then the separate sections will be appreciated (from my perspective anyway).

[FireInTheBennelly 4,072]

So with a new comp starting up, what happens to the current Melbourne and Bulldogs players? Will they be dispersed among the new teams, or will we be able to keep them and the other teams find their own talent?

What "gender politics" are involved in supporting a woman's football team?

 For a start, not everyone supports women's football.

Do you mean you don't support it in the way you do support melbourne? Or do you mean you are ideologically against the idea of women being allowed to play football?

Well, now I see what people were worried about with 'gender politics'.

Guys, it'd be really great if you tried to keep your radical gender agenda politics away from the game. Its not good for the club.

And for you to mind your own business on such things. 

I am able to decide what i like and don't like

ok

I see ol Eddie is in a twist again. Seems to think the filth should automatically be granted a Women's licence. Pompous prat !

And had the gall to say Collingwood should have the first team due to all the support they give women! Hate to let him know but at best he could claim to being the third team, and that is only if they are successful in getting a team.

I really hope they miss out...please.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

The sooner this league takes off the better for the MFC. Not only are we assured a team we have the best player. Who is the face, voice and marketers dream promoter of the game.

 

[Bigred 494]

Fantastic.  All part of us being a forward looking, bigger, stronger more viable club... It can only bring us more members, more community involvement, more press, more sponsorship....

What is to lose.... And if Hogan falls in love with the Demons full forward ...and maybe has a few kids ... sons, and daughters of course... and..... nahh... I'm overthinking it!

I was reading Eddies tirade thinking...wtf....what has Collingwood done ?  Talk about  wanting to ride coat-tails !!

Yeah they can come in to the comp...2019 or abouts    They can be an "EXPANSION" team, that ought to go down well..

What they have done is take a public place which included facilities for women and renovate it and low and behold it still has facilities for women. I wonder if it would have those if the government hadn't made it part of the deal of handing over the original facilities?
