    So the point easily missed is women were never ever going to be excluded from the event as the club allows female guests but denies female memberships much as some clubs deny male membership.

    Another non-issue made into an issue thewn re-issued.

    Or is the point that has been easily missed that women should not have to tip their hat for permission to participate in community events according the whims of an ancient and venerable bastion of quite explicit chauvanism?

    Even symbolically.

    Anyway, the very easy adjustment has been made and you can take your little teacup and it's little storm and sip it till you burst.

    The majority of "consumers" want woke-leftism politics to keep the hell away from sport. It is the tiny minority of loud mouthed virtue signallers who demand every organisation kowtow to their leftardism who make this an issue when it is not.

    Like I said, it's nothing more than pissweak pandering, but you guys can celebrate your victory. Good for you. ?

    It actually is an issue, a lot of people were very [censored] off, whether you or i give a dam doesn’t matter. 
    we need Money and Land from The State  Government so it was not smart to rock the boat

    The ABC is reporting on a coterie group holding its season launch at the male-only Australia Club.

    "The event, promoted on the group's social media page, is being held on March 9, the day after International Women's Day.

    Featured guests on the night will include Melbourne Football Club president Glen Bartlett and former AFL players Gary Pert, Mark Williams, Adem Yze, Alan Richardson and Garry Lyon."

    They've also highlighted the recent change to Bartlett's title, which is seemingly at odds with the choice of venue.

    "The Australian Club, established in 1878, excludes women from membership, but has in recent years allowed female guests to visit.

    Last month, Fox Sports reported Glen Bartlett's title at Melbourne Football Club had been changed from chairman to president following feedback from female members."

    Thoughts? Is it all much ado about nothing, or does it send the wrong signal?

    It's an old Business club.. Who cares..

    Are you seriously suggesting that holding a question and answer in a room that permits male and women quests, but only male members would have the potential to cost us Government support?

    What a ridiculous overreaction. I can't believe you mean what you are saying.

    You haven’t been reading the responses by the wider Community in Melbourne. 
    The venue was severely frowned upon. 
     

    I have been a Member of the MCC since 1982, back then The MCC Reserve was Men Only 

    I thought it was great, but it wouldn’t survive today. The pendulum has swung, as i said before, whether you or i like it Faulty. 
    The AFLW has seen to that. (I don’t watch it, but the younger generation does)

    You and I may think it is an overreaction, but that is irrelevant 

    We have to play the game, if we want some new elite Training Facilities

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
