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.

Being one of the cooler mods helped! 🙂

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.

edit: I’m actually in awe of Jaded. She has a great footy-brain and bigger balls than many of the males on here. And she’s very funny. Respect

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
