It is not news that I am not a fan of women’s footy however last night Tayla won a champion ship  fight to be 8 wins 1 draw and zero losses. The thing that impressed me is that a large number of her demon team mates were there to cheer her on and then carried her from the ring. What a great spirit this group has. Who would bet against them in the next season.

They’ll be strong favourites to go back to back. Only injuries or bad luck will stop them.

Good fight but I’d like to see her playing footy in the future.

Milli moved way too well for her. Very hard to land a blow the way she danced so well 

Didn't enjoy watching one of our players getting beaten pretty hard. Credit to Tayla for taking the caper on.

Really enjoyed the lightweight title fight beforehand.

 

Tayla should stick to footy from now on .

She fought an experienced ( long amateur career) woman who completely outclassed her. Tayla was brave , no doubt about that, but didn't throw enough punches and didn't defend well enough.

I'm sure Australian women's boxing will develop but at this stage the local girls just don't have enough experience.

Agree . The girl who lost will be a gun when she is taught how to actually punch.


I’d rather she stuck to footy. Didn’t see the fight but I’ve read some fight reports which say she was outclassed and well beaten. 

There is some speculation that Tayla may have a facial fracture as a result of this fight. I'm all for players having interests outside of football, but not one that can potentially cause serious injury a month out from the start of the season.

  • Demonland changed the title to Tayla Harris' boxing career

Conflicting reports! She won but she was out-classed?

Until the AFLW is a full time job I fully support the players in all their endeavours. Go Harris! Keep fighting the good fight

Boxing isn't my thing, so I'll leave it up to others to comment on Tayla's ability or otherwise.

But until the AFLW H&A season takes up more than 20% of the year, I'm cool with pretty much anything players choose to do to earn a living - or just as importantly, maintain fitness. Helping players to juggle competing commitments is a huge part of what makes a successful AFLW team in this current phase. Give and take, of course, and you have to draw the line somewhere. But I'm sure the club were aware of the potential for injury in a boxing match.

A bit like the English Cricket team

Am I missing something here ?

She clearly lost ( though remarkably one judge scored a draw ) and she was totally outclassed.

When the AFL and multiple medical specialists are hell bent on trying to reduce the effects of head knocks, and warning of its long term consequences, it seems rather silly to be pursuing this activity.

Not a sport I would advise any female to take up, except for certain aspects of training for fitness.

It's not a sport I'd advise any person to take up.

Pro boxing is legal brutality. ( I do like watching it though )

I thought professional boxing was all fixed, like professional wrestling. Maybe she'll be scripted to make a glorious comeback in the rematch. 

 

Ahh does anyone actually care?

If ever you meet Tim Tszyu  Rab, I'd advise keeping that opinion to yourself.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
