Today marks the 95th International Women’s Day (75th in Australia).

A day to acknowledge the achievements of all women, particularly those who strove tirelessly for equity, the results of which means among many other things we have Kate as our president, and a deserving President at that.

To quote a sign-off I share in PMs with another Dees gal ( 👋 xxx)  on here…

SHEILAS UNITE!!!!

PS: before any of the ‘usual suspects’ get on here biiitching and Moaning… “why isn’t there an International Men’s Day???” There is, every November 19th. It’s just that y’all are too lazy to get off your arzes to promote it. 😝😁🙃

    Yep, definitely a day to acknowledge. Obviously we don't want to only save our best for one day of the year but it's always good to have a stop and think moment.

    And every other day, except most of us men are just too selfish and stupid to admit it.

    i see women's day as a day just to celebrate women in all positive ways

    the other 364 days of the year are there to fight for better equality

    Even if Australian women had achieved equality in all areas (which they have not) they have every right to celebrate International Womens Day every year. Think of it like your birthday, it's OK.

    In my case it is, MD!

    So I have two reasons to celebrate today, which justifies the fact that I’m currently polishing off another bottle of champagne with my gal-pal who is also a birthday girl.

    🥂 Here’s to day-drinking! 🥂

    I can't find it Andy.  It was on the main Board this morning.

    Found it.  (Search feature is my friend 🙃)  Not sure which forum it is in...

     

    Edit:  Oops, found it the General Discussion Forum. 

    Just read the thread.  Someone really ruffled @WalkingCivilWar's feathers.  Not sure it is a good idea to ruffle the feathers of a 'ranga' - fiery at the best of times😍

    This is off topic (football) granted, but is it really? 

    There are many women involved in the AFL like our president. Our AFLW team. It is still  International Womens Day, leave this topic on the main board, at least until people have had the chance to read it and respond.

    I can understand the drinking WCW. It’s tough when you actually hit 30.

    Yeah that’d be some of mine. And rightly so. I may or may not have threatened to burn DL to the ground. 😬 As Luci @Lucifers Herosaid best not to ruffle the feathers of a fiery ranga. Wise words indeed.

    Special mention to my mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, who took the 'International' part to the extreme by spending the day flying back to Vietnam.

    International Women's Day is also a much bigger deal in Vietnam than here, so I'm glad they also get four extra hours of the day there to celebrate!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
