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

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

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!

No chance of jumping ship there Kruddler.
Will cheer my girl on wherever she may be.
But on all other occasions is 'Navy Blue from Womb to Tomb'
At the WB v WA Womens game the other Sunday, my wife & I cheered the WB girls on like manic supporters.
Stayed for the boys. WB 1st goal was greeted with wild enthusiasm by said wife.
To which I remarked WTF are you doing. Know your place please. Anymore of that and you'll walk home. I don't care how good looking you are.

Up in the air ATM moment.
She's doing a fair bit of promo work for the doggies, but nothing mentioned about marquee spot.
To be honest the WB have been great with the way they've handled all their girls. Really professional.
Wouldn't be the end of the world if she remained there.
But the NAVY would be a great option...

So stoked to see the national womens league get off the ground, and even more proud that Carlton are going to be one of the inaugural clubs.
Really disappointed at some of the comments on here, which just highlight many of the obstacles that female sportspeople face each day. Thankfully attitudes like these are becoming a thing of the past, even if that's an extremely slow process. A lot of the comments made about the skill level of women footballers could be said of many men playing at suburban clubs, however those men often take home a bit of cash for their efforts. Until now even the best female footballers have been prohibited from being paid for their services which is yet another example of gender inequality in sport.
Not only do women in almost all sports, play second fiddle to the men in terms of facilities and resources, then they're mocked for not having the same level of skill as their male counterparts. If the same amount of money and time was poured into womens sport as it is men, there would be a massive difference in the output.
I'm so proud of all the women who will represent the 8 clubs next year, a lot of them have (until recently) done it with so fewer opportunities than far less talented men. I've had the privilege of playing with or against a number of them and have seen first hand how hard they work to achieve what they have. Also very thankful to the AFL for stepping in about 5 years ago and investing heavily in the development of womens footy.
Now here's hoping the Billie Judd and the Carrazzo triplets can come along and represent the Blues one day
