With unprecedented access into the club’s football program, Melbourne Media have captured an action-packed pre-season documentary series, launching on Sunday 9 February. Melbourne to release pre-season documentary series

You may be right, but the impression I got was that the club had produced it. All the media releases etc say 'The Melbourne Football Club has released' or similar.

Loved Maxy giving a rev up before the first time trial, outstanding leadership to recognize that's the point it starts, not round 1. And the production quality went up a notch this week too I felt. The media team have done a sensational job with this.

It's an 'elite' competition because it's literally the 'elite' level of it's sport being women's football. And yes, I'm satisfied that women now get to have footy as an option for a career, I'm sorry that you feel the need to try and shoot that down. I've never met you, nor I, so I'm not sure what you're assuming with your attempt at a personal comment at the end there.

It's the elite level of women's footy. Your argument is baseless. No one is asking you to watch it, nor are they asking for your opinion on it.

But Marsh said it was unhelpful to pit both groups of players against other, saying any thought of AFL players subsidising female footballers was nothing more than speculation. “To talk about the men subsidising the women has not even been part of the conversation,” he said. AFLPA boss’ strong response to speculation over pay deal

My guess is very much impacted by injury history. I feel like only 1 out of May and Lever will be put in the group, and given his age and ability to continue in the role for a long time I think Lever may get it. Similar with TMac and Melksham, I think we 100% need an official leader at the forward end, TMac seems the obvious choice but I wonder if another forward may be named as well to cover for that injury risk. Or maybe I'm reading too much into that.

It literally is the elite level of women's footy. Doesn't matter if you think "it ain't ready" (what does that even mean anyway?), it's here, so deal with it.

Trying to guess what it will be, rather than what I would like... Viney & Gawn as co-captains Then Jetta, Lever, TMac and possibly Melksham.

What a nonsensical comment. You realize there's been women's leagues for a long time right? (Daisy has 10 flags after all) What exactly would make AFLW be VFL standard? You'd be happier if it was called VFLW? Also, you guys should all try reading the article instead of just the headline.

The media trend of pretty straight ahead AFLW-related stories with deliberately inflammatory headlines is growing by the minute. The digital age is now officially the professional troll age.

Could be. They did have the Nate Jones 'revelations' in the last one. Could work either way: Maximize publicity for the doco (which got excellent coverage this week), or spread out the publicity for the club more over the week.

Another addition: G.Pert (Shoulder) Currently on light duties after a fishing injury. Classic Melbourne to take it too far.

Good oil or gut feel mate? Haven't heard anything personally, but would think the stars are all aligned for it to be announced this week before the next episode of To Hell And Back. Balances out the bad news of late, post-camp, team photo, membership etc etc.

People genuinely just read the headlines these days don't they. ?‍♂️

Pretty sure we still have a spare list spot due to the Nietschke injury, so wort case scenario we can call up a replacement. Liam Buxton any chance?

Excellent intel. Thanks for sharing it.

I think you're moving the goal posts a bit now mate. Your point was Jones wasn't hated like the players you mentioned. Opposition supporters don't generally bother hating clubs that aren't successful. And as far as 'tapping on the shoulder' goes, he was still being selected by a coaching group that had no problems dropping Vince and Lewis, so I'm not sure you can categorically state he's deserving of that 'tap' without being inside the club.

The difference being they are all premiership players in ruthless, successful clubs.

Thought the quality of it was fantastic given it's an in-house production, and it was as 'unfluffy' as you could get given that too. Thinking back a few years, our marketing & branding has come a long way so credit there to those responsible as I'm sure they would be far from the most resourced.

When you want to talk footy I'm open to it. Not interested in internet wars. Cheers.

Did you read the article or just the headline mate? "Radio 6PR sports reporter Kim Hagdorn revealed on Friday Longmuir had other options and might now be lost to the Dockers." “Adelaide also want to talk to Justin Longmuir urgently,” he said. Hagdorn said that if he was out of the race, the Dockers could move forward with an appointment faster as they would not be waiting for Longmuir’s Magpies finals mission to finish before he could engage in the interview process.

No. He said Longmuir had other options outside of Freo and clubs were interested in him.
