Melbourne Demons (Women's Team)

Featured Replies

On the subject of memento's, it is a shame similar originality didn't go into the 'Women's Foundation Member' pack.  (I'm not suggesting a ring) but for the life of me I can't work out why they included a lapel pin - I mean who wears a blazer/jacket these days?  And we already have sooooo many scarves.

I do like the commemorative certificate tho'! :cool:

So if you can cope with another scarf and a lapel pin, :unsure: and help the team, sign up as a Foundation Member: https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/womens

 

I'm looking forward to putting the lapel pin on the collar of my duffel coat with my 10yr membership and Snoopy in a Dees guernsey pin.

I'll be interested in seeing what off field invites we get throughout the season, there has to be some perks to being a foundation member over a regular member I'm assuming

Each Demon women's player will receive a commemorative ring, engraved with their draft year, mfc logo and the sequence number at which they joined the club (ala the Australian cricket team player number).  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-11-18/womens-players-receive-rings

A very proud item for a player to have and each one will be unique.

I want to know if they are counting the players from the exhibition games in the numbering.  Do they get rings or will it all start with this group as the first squad in the first season?

Judging by the video it goes by this year's draft order

It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but I was interested to hear at the AGM that the club only has the ladies for 9 hours per week, or 72 hours total before season starts.

I suppose on top of full time jobs or whatever most are doing, it'd add up, but I had assumed it'd be more than a handful of hours per week.


Interesting to see that the Women's team foundation memberships have just about sold out.

500x$250=$125,000

So that's the salaries of a little under under half the players covered for the first season.

Guess we'll have to wait and see how many regular memberships comes through for the women's team, how much merchandise, attendences, and of course the all-important sponsors.

But if the aim is about $500k/season, you'd have to be feeling pretty confident.

Keep your eye on Shelley Scott in our team.

Word I have is she's probably one of the toughest women footballers going around and will definitely hurt the opposition at each and every opportunity.

Channel 7 just did a story on her for the nightly news; it consisted of her dedication to working the family dairy farm while having a two hour drive to training. It was some nice exposure for us.

Sweet, I doubt it'll be on Perth news. Hope to view it somewhere at some stage.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
