WOMENS

In the past few years, the participation of girls footy has been growing but recently especially in my local league the interest has been dropping. Womens afl is a growing legue. This year there are two women's exhibition matches one on May 16th which is Melbourne vs. Western Bull Dogs. Western Bull Dogs are also hosting one on August 16th. Last year there was a large turn out of  a few thousand and hopefully there will be an even bigger turn out this year.
