LOL!!  Not sure about that phrasing...  But I fully get what you mean:  men also get the jibes and insults so a DL holiday is good for anyone when the going gets a bit rough. 

Layzie, you are much loved on here so hopefully there isn't the need for more DL holidays🙃  Just ignore the cheap shots and those that misinterpret.

Not my best phrasing! More just highlighting my own personal struggles and finding myself taking periodic breaks from here, sometimes not even from anything that's happened one here but for my own anxiety and minor mental health issues.

I guess my point is that (In my view at least) as hard as I feel it can get in an environment like this, I can't imagine what it's like from the female perspective. Lots of respect.

Too sweet, can we please get back to insulting people now? 😁

It's too cute for rock and roll!

Why should it be any harder for a female on here Layzie? It really shouldn’t. If it is then that’s our (males) fault, and we need to be more aware of this and be better. This site is a better place for the ladies we do have posting - I wish we had more.

It shouldn't be I couldn't agree more, and it's come a long way. There were plenty of rando derogatory AFLW comments on here when it started that I'm glad we don't see anymore.

We do need to be more aware and we can always better 🙂

I unashamedly adore Layzie. And I tell him often. Maybe a little too often. But not restraining order often. Yet. 😝


Maybe slightly off topic, but will our AFLW team have a flag raising ceremony ths year. I made it down to Melbourne for the Men's ceremony last year. If there will be one, does anyone have any Intel on when?

Thank you NC 💖

When I first joined DL my levelheaded firstborn said, “oh mum, you won’t last five minutes. It’s full of blokes. They’ll carve you up.” My unlevelheaded secondborn said, “Nah, they won’t know what hit ‘em, she’ll slay it. ”

Happy to say it’s coming up two years and I’m still here! Yay!

PS for those playing along at home, my precious baby boy didn’t have an opinion either way. If it’s not about gaming, it doesn’t exist.

Our AFLW flag unfurling will be at halftime Round One (men’s).

And it’s most definitely NOT off-topic, LFS. 🙂

 

I might be wrong but I think I was the first female poster on D’land way back in the day and I’ve never felt anything but welcomed. Maybe it’s because most posters didn’t know I was female? 

On RSN the other day Mark Stevens put up a Top 5 Influential Women in the AFL. He had a couple of Demons in there, Daisy at 5 and Kate Roffey at 3. Caroline Wilson was number 1.

Wish I could be there! But unfortunately can't make it then.

On this Dees celebrate IWD thread… shoutout to an amazing woman who, despite having originally been a diehard Collingwood supporter in her former life, is now a loud n proud Dees girl and always will be. People know her as Fritta’s mum. I know her as Paulsy. Taking Covid out of the equation, she’s only missed attending five of Fritta’s matches, and that includes every junior game with Coldstream as well as every game with Casey. The whole Frittata clan love that Bayley’s a Demon and that the MFC culture is what it is.

PS: I’ll be at Paulsy’s 50th birthday party tonight. The good folk of Coldstream know how to party. Thus far I’ve survived such, relatively unscathed. Got a feeling tonight might be an exception. 😁

And no, I won’t be asking Fritta about his goddamn foot.

Back from sabbatical to say, belatedly, I hope as many of you as possible had meaningful IWDs, reflecting on your own strengths or on the strengths of women in your lives or the world.

International Womens Day: Another day closer to fulfilment of the objectives of change and growth it champions.

(p.s. Reading all the posts herein, I again reflect how hard I find it to imagine any other team's supporter forum matching ours)

Nice one WCW! 

Don't hesitate to bring back some Coldstream NEIPAs from the brewery, ta.

Yes you were.. and with a sharp footy brain just to pump your tyres up a tad.

Reckon I started out around the same time as you many moons back.

Would happily do so if I knew what a NEIPA was. A type of beer? Anyways, not sure the brewery or anything for that matter will be staffed. Sounds like the entire population of Coldstream will be at the party. As per usual I expect to be mercilessly [censored]-canned for coming from Snorbs, but I cop it because to be fair everything they say is true. 😁

I’m not scared of Jaded. Not one bit.

Yeah I remember when I first started seeing you post, in one thread you said something to allude to the fact you're female so I check your profile lol

They might be sponsoring the party WCW! Could be plenty of cans going around 🙂

PS: Yes it is, a very tasty one as well.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
