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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
