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? 😁

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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. 😁

    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 🙂

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
