    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?

    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 PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
