Sydney didn't bother putting in a bid - pretty weak.

Re: Women's league teams revealed - 8 Teams - DOGS lead the way
In fairness basing a NSW team to attract/facilitate female players, the Western Suburbs/inland area really makes a lot more sense than the Eastern suburbs based team.

Re: Women's league teams revealed - 8 Teams - DOGS lead the way
Not sure why both Collingwood and Carlton get teams, when the South East suburbs isnot represented.

Re: Women's league teams revealed - 8 Teams - DOGS lead the way
I am so happy for the team and the club, it's a wonderful, wonderful thing! I'm just sad that I'm too old and slow now to have a crack. If this had have been around when I was in primary school, even high school - strong, fit, capable professional athletes to look up to and inspire us gals.
And not mentioning the fact my stupid all girls high school only decided to put together a footy side the year after I finished. I'm not still bitter about that fourteen years later...
Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

Fantastic for the club to be involved as an inaugural team and even better for the league to exist in the first place. Can't wait to get behind the team next year!

Suprised Geelong was overlooked!

Re: Women's league teams revealed - 8 Teams - DOGS lead the way
Apparently they don't have a lot of participants out that way .. There is a lot in Ballarat I believe which helped out cause.

Good chance to utilise Whitten Oval and while we're at it, strengthen ties with the Ballarat community and play women's games at Eureka Stadium.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Yesss! Thrilled about this! Go Dogs!
I do wish Collingwood would just FOAD though... why do they have to muscle their way into everything?

Re: Women's league teams revealed - 8 Teams - DOGS lead the way
Thoroughly deserved .
Could you imagine McGuire and Collingwood if they hadn't got a side ?
We might have not had our regular Travis Cloke update

Re: Women's league teams revealed - 8 Teams - DOGS lead the way
Travis is one of their marquee players according to Facebook memes
