Carlton Supporters Club

Let's not forget that many females might well prefer to watch women play rather than men.  They make up the majority of the population.  Does it really matter whether blokes turn out to watch it?

Also remember the Women's league is about giving females a chance to play at an elite level and that encourages grassroots participation by girls.

You mean something like this?

Had Daisy Pearce on Triple M this afternoon and she gave quite a few details about the setup.

Basically the league is supposed to be 8 teams....although there is a possibility of it getting 10 as there has been a lot of interest so far.

In fact 13 AFL clubs have applied for a womens team. She didn't say who did (or didn't) though.

She said of the 8 teams, 4 of them will be from other states with QLD, NSW, SA and WA all getting 1 team each.

So that means only 4 vic teams (unless the afl expand from 8 to 10).

Of the 4 spots available, it is strongly suggested that the Dees and Dogs will get one each as they have been the pioneers of the whole thing.

That leaves 2 spots available for 8 vic teams!

Worst part about the whole thing is that Daisy, widely regarded as the best female player out there, was a mad Blues supporter growing up and still loves them, however, she is basically playing for the dees now and is currently undertaking a 2 year 'internship' at the dees as Paul Jackson (?) Dees President is looking after her and letting her go through any and all roles within the club over that period before she gets to choose something she wants to do for the club. From admin, to football department and everything else. They got her good. We missed our window.

Absolutely stoked that CarltonFC is on board.

As a proud dad of one of the women who plays footy, I can tell you that she, all her teammates, their junior teams, their opponents, etc... are thrilled that their is a pathway into the elite level of this great game for them.

I'll also say that if things don't fall her way at the doggies I'll try my best to get into a CFC jumper for next year.

For those doubting the credentials of women footballers take a look a some of the highlight packages about the place and that will be the level that you would see you' week in week out and it will only improve as the talent/development pathways get bigger & better in the years to come.

Will they fill the 'G or Etihad with spectators probably not early days but given time they'll get decent crowds as the product on display develops.
Much like the GWS is doing now.

Talented sportswomen playing our great game. Whats not to like. And more importantly the NAVY will be front and centre.

Great news for the Navy Blues !!

Here is another big tick for our President, CEO and the rest of our off field team, to come out in front of 4 other Vic clubs is a good win.

All the best to all the girls, especially Steph Chiocci, who I would love to see in Navy Blue!

Best of luck to your daughter - irrespective of what colours she wears, I hope it's a long, successful and happy career.

Is she earmarked for the dogs in one of the 'marquee' spots?

You're not going to jump ship to the dogs are you?

Hey G2C,
Have a quiet word to your contacts at the CFC.
Start the ball rolling.
If you build it she may come...
