Article in today's Herald sun talks about how the Women's new state league could play curtain raisers to VFL matches in 2016.
"While the teams won't be officially linked to VFL clubs. The competition will be managed by AFL Victoria and use the resources of the men's state league"
A good move for the promotion of Woman's footy. Although it states the Clubs won't be formally linked to VFL clubs, from a Port Melbourne perspective, I think the club missed out on a real opportunity by not fielding or starting a women's side. Port Colts should be commended on the move and I believe additional funding may be available to them to improve facilities at Murphy's Reserve.
