ughhh. really?! a game of footy is a game of footy. i've just started playing in a pub footy league in melbourne and the teams are uni-sex.. big crowds, beers and dogs running out on to the pitch. at the end of the day, isn't it fun watching a ball getting kicked around? 

The neanderthals will never see it that way.

The girls will never get the same crowds or tv ratings but does that really matter. I will watch on TV, as i generally do with the blokes, and will enjoy it as I did with the last womends match that was televised.

We're going to miss her. This was two days ago:

https://www.facebook.com/AFLQUEENSLAND/videos/10153983837241066/

Tayla has spoken in glowing terms of the Melbourne Football Club and would have loved to have maintained a link with the club and the girls she's obviously got to know pretty well but at the end of the day she works for AFLQ and is one of the key marketing tools used in the promotion of the women's game up here. And more importantly, her mum would miss her too much if she moved to Victoria, even if it was for only three months a year.

Good luck to her. Hope she has a terrific career up there.

Thats an absolute lesson in how to kick a ball.  Some of the fellas ought to take note. They might struggle to straighten the lg like that :rolleyes: but its how you do it. A very good fotballer. Good luck Tayla, thanks for your time with the Dees :)

So, tell us SEQ not big enough market to support two teams, 10 million in the hole, no training base and then go out and sign players for a team that doesn't yet or may not exist.

AFL need to come in and clean up this rabble.

Of course would've been a good player to have, but best of luck to her.

Aside from Daisy, who I see as a true Red & Blue symbol, I'm not too worried about gathering all the best talent right at the start.

The development pathways for women players have been so limited that whichever club makes the most effective investment in building skills and match fitness will rapidly outshine the others.

I can only hope our club pushes hardest in that early arms race and quickly establishes itself as the dominant club for women playing football.

Yep.

In fact I'm worried that the haphazard way in which the AFL is putting this together will be ignored if it doesn't take off, with people like Bandicoot crying "see? I told you no one wanted to watch women's footy hurrr durrr".

Amazing that the biggest threat to the women's league is the AFL's inept administration.

Are you really surprised though?

These are the same people who are slowly destroying our once great game. Little surprise that they'd ruin the women's league even before it's off the ground.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
