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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
