I'm not sure what to expect, but it's a historic event for the code and the club and I reckon we should get behind it regardless. Anything that makes the game more appealing to broader families and gives greater opportunities for women to play and showcase their athletic ability should be supported wholeheartedly by every one.
Go the Blues...........

Lost a family member who was a lifelong blues member who made the front page of the Herald after we won the '79 GF. :'(
Had my 2nd child today who is already a signed up blues member. ;D
History in the making tonight.
Wish i could've been there, but i think its a fair excuse! 
Sorry about your loss but congratulations on the safe arrival of your new son and best wishes to him for a long, healthy and happy life!

That is a roller-coaster Kruddler.
Mixed emotions, no doubt but all the best.
Sympathies for the loss and congratulations on the birth.
It's a funny old world sometimes. ???
