That always seemed a bizarre fixture for a Melbourne home game, glad it has been rectified.

Fantastic exposure for our girls.

Great decision!

This should be a very good game vs North who sit atop the ladder. 

They demolished Freo this week who were a top 4 team last year and we beat the Crows who won the premiership.

Reckon it will be dees supporters only as North fans wouldn't get much chance to buy tickets.  Would expect Syd fans to barrack for them.

Worth getting their early.

I feel for supporters of North’s AFLW team. Having to buy a ticket (if even possible) and not getting to sit where they’d like. You’d expect North to have substantially less fans attending since it’s been moved to curtain raiser at the ‘G. Imagine if the same was done to us.

I would not care.

I feel for them also,

I'm guessing the AFL give the North Cheer Squad the Sydney squad space then clear out and maybe give unsold tickets to North to give to fans for free/token amount.

But they will have the Syd fans on their side.

Thanks for that.

Great opportunity for the rest of the fanbase to see our AFLW team. They really are a fantastic reflection on the club. Plenty of ticker and give there all

North are a tough, seasoned outfit. It'll be close but i expect to win to 2-3 goals

We always have close games in the "open" grounds, it'll be interesting how it'll be in the protected MCG.  I went to the Optus game against Freo and we looked great in such an environment. (First team to crack 100 pts)  The Ess and Hawks showed how conditions really affect the quality of girls games, more than the guys.

I agree. The game at Marvel this weekend was a good standard and much better than i expected given it was the first game of AFLW for both clubs. No doubt the Marval surface and closed roof were a factor.

Won't get out of work until 5:30/6 or so, sadly not sure how much I will be able to see. 

Hopefully they get some good support. 

Would like to watch West firsthand, her trajectory continues to skyrocket.

I have little interest in girls footy because the standard is so low. Now having a game as a curtain raiser is way better than loud music etc. But it could be any team.

The standard from the mens team was very low for a long time.

The girls are wearing the red and blue so I'll support irrespective of whether they are good or not. Same goes for the mens team
