You can watch it on afl.com directly. Some pretty impressive skills.

There's an Ebony Antonio playing for Freo who runs like Hilly and flies like Sonny.
Get her off now and put her in for Mayne!!

 

[Tundrawolf]

WC 37 Freo 16 at half time

Anyone else see that injury? Ouch!

 

[Kram]

Our female forward line is as bad as the bloke's one.

That last passage of play was awesome except that shot at goal was terrible. They've been watching videos of the guys obviously.

 

[Kram]

no 24 got cleaned up nicely.

Geez the WC women's team has some serious talent. That little toe poke was amazing. And the mark in the goal square was solid as well.

It is just two random teams from a pool of WA players atm isn't it? So if we get the team then we have the lot to choose from? I hope so at least.

 

[FreoMonocle]

Fast forward this to in a few years time. Full time training giving a bigger fitness base and skills, more time for coaching plans etc. Will be good

As it is, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some of those tackles, a few hard crunches in there, they aint shrinking violets.

 

[BettercallSaul]

Lot of players sporting hair buns. Obviously influenced by Fyfe.

 

[Randomizor]

No reason I couldn't get just as passionate about a female team as I do a male team. Liked it a lot.

One thing I noted though, and with a couple of exceptions, a lot of the shepherd attempts didn't go very far. Maybe that's just training though.

A lass, err, I mean, alas, the teams have been hastily cobbled together. These are just exhibition teams, so the country players still live in the country.

When the teams are properly constituted and there is an actual competition, players will relocate and be able to train together, along with coaching and other stuff being sorted out properly.

To date Fremantle while interested and supportive of a Women's AFL, they want to see more detail from the AFL (structure, etc) before making a rival bid for the only WA licence next year. Where as West Coast's CEO is very keen to secure the one WA team licence on offer for next year, before even receiving more details and information from the AFL about their women's league.
Hopefully eventually sooner rather than later, the Women Dockers (if not already) will have all the talent, support, resources and funds to gain a licence to join the league.

 

[Clems Knee]

In an hour and 20 minutes we find out if Fremantle or West Coast is part of the inaugural 8 or 10 team women's competition to be held in the men's pre season.
Freo is offering a link between Curtin University, the facilities at Cockburn and jobs for the women. West Coast is offering premierships.

Based on the proposals i will be disgusted if west coast get it. If we get it I'll be getting right into it.

 

[TheLastCall]

According to the age we have edged out West Coast.

 

[CrowdedHouse]

Mail is Freo have got it. Other 7 clubs are Bris/Mel/Dogs/Pies/Blues/Adel/GWS

Apart from the summary on the AFL website, is there more information about each proposal available to the public?

 

[Frank J Moose]

Big chance Freo will win the flag next season.

 

[wayToGo_]

[Taylor]
