Travis is one of their marquee players according to Facebook memes

I really don't like the idea of bagging out a player by stating he should play women's footy. I don't usually try to PC my way into an argument but the girls deserve more respect than that.

I am absolutely delighted about the women's league, I will be buying a membership for the women's team and going to as many games as possible. It is a great spectacle to watch in that it is very different from the men's comp.

I'm not bagging at all just mentioned what I saw.

Suprised Geelong was overlooked!

And St. Kilda

Well done to Susie and the team behind the scenes to get us across the line. You must be extremely proud of what you have achieved for Women's sport.

Go Dogs.

Yesss! Thrilled about this! Go Dogs!

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

Yes true, but it will mean that we can beat them in three competitions each season which will be fun. Eddie will need another ice bath to keep his temperature down.

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...

Come on DOTW, i'm sure the club could squeeze you in to a back pocket!

Absolutely awesome. I thought we were going to miss out. Magnificent and historic news.

One club, three teams. Very proud of everyone involved. It really feels as if we are on the verge of something great at the moment, all the planets are aligning.

I see that each club is allowed two marquee signings - I assume our two will be Katie Brennan and Steph Chiocci?

Really great news for all concerned, can't wait for this to explode. I'm playing AFL in London and our club has a fantastic representation of Women's footballers (in a four team comp, fielding teams of 15-20 each week, we have about 40 girls registered and regularly attending training!). It contributes to what I would happily call the best club culture out of anywhere I've played in Melbourne and Geelong. Not to mention the standard of the Women's matches is generally better than the thirds in the men's comp!!

Ha! At a measly 160cm, I couldn't defend my way out of a paper bag. Think Caleb Daniel, but smaller. And way more unfit. With way less talent. And no helmet.

Actually, not like Caleb Daniel at all. Maybe Andrew Hooper?
