Any truth in the rumour that the girls have approached Everitt? ;-)
Why are people so unkind?
Good news for footy though and a great way to grow the game.
It's a pity Geelong didn't win a spot but I guess you can't go past Melbourne and Footscray with their pioneering work.

I think we are treading a fine line here about being slightly mysoginistic with these comments.
Re: Women's League - Dominator_7 - 06-15-2016
I am so rapt with this announcement.
I'll back the Women's team 100% just like I do the Northern Blues.
Some of the comments on here are pretty dumb. We need to get around this guys. Its a part of our future, and a massive shift in our culture to be a lot more inclusive of women.

Well said.
This tells me that our club is back pioneering and initiating rather than the 'short cut/opportunistic/quick fix' thinking that existed for way, way too long. When such a culture prevails how could we not be one of the pioneers and forward thinkers at the forefront of creating an AFL women's league? Again, well done CFC.

Congrats on the club and the whole concept really. Plenty of other women's sports that are way more uninteresting to watch than this (Tennis is no.1 in my book). Look forward to catching a couple of games during the off-season. Also gives parents who only have girls in the family the chance to watch their kids play at the highest level.

New times, new thoughts, new team... NEW CLUB
But as always...
Go Blues!

The ignorance from some is mind numbing.
Even if you don't want to watch, womens footy is a boost for footy participation and popularity. Mums and dads taking their kids of both genders to Sat and sunday football.
State league and even amateur clubs getting affiliated sides.
Terrific for Carlton to get involved and terrific for our fan base.
Well done to all involved and the rest of you can ....................

I was going to respond, but just shook my head anyway.
It is great for the club, for membership and the brand.
Hope our Girls can bring some success to the club!!

FWIW this is how we are going to get our stadium converted into an AFL one again.
Start the grants going to make it a boutique stadium for Women's football.
I can see the grants and approvals already.
Its funny how you can kill two birds with one stone at times. the goal should be to do it for both.
