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:

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
