Don't know how I feel about them using the women's league as guniea pigs for all their crazy ideas.

 

[Jeremias]

Well, that's one way to ensure the women's game doesn't take off.

Idiots.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The women players voted for it, didn't they?

Idiots.

I don't know about that. I don't think it will turn off anyone that was already planning to watch it.

It does seem an odd move though.

 

[Jatz]

The women players voted for it, didn't they?

From that article, they were surveyed after the rule change had been made. 80% were ok with it.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Well I guess if that's what the majority of the women want then that's what I'll support.
It certainly won't put me off watching.

AFL miss chance to boost female officials as national women's competition looms

"What a massive statement football could have delivered to young females across its clubs, state leagues, playing groups and within head office had it deemed a woman capable of fronting the series of ground-breaking announcements that have punctuated the fast-tracked journey to the historic first bounce to take place early in 2017."

Really looking forward to watching the Women's League and especially the Carlton girls. Exciting times!

Tara Bonello from CFC just told me that they are hoping the draw is out tomorrow.

Bit off topic for our women but what a wrap for Donnellan.

"Donnellan, whose silky skills have drawn comparisons with former West Coast and Carlton great Chris Judd, was voted captain by her teammates".

The first match of the new women's competition will be held on Friday, February 3 under lights at Collingwood's Holden Centre training base, with the Magpies squaring off against traditional rivals Carlton.

Sitting adjacent to the club's training base, the Olympic Park Oval – Collingwood's home VFL venue and the ground on which the Pies train during the season – has almost no fixed seating.
