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

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.

Not sure why both Collingwood and Carlton get teams, when the South East suburbs isnot represented.

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...

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!

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.

Yesss! Thrilled about this! Go Dogs!

I do wish Collingwood would just FOAD though... why do they have to muscle their way into everything?

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
