Doesn’t matter, we’re in, Tassie will get a team and we will just be North Melbourne. They did what they had to and stuck it up the comp by being good. We have had our draft hand downgraded and fixtures stacked against us, poor umpiring and anything else you can imagine and we are kicking ass and looking like a team that will give it a real shake. I love these girls and how they go about it!Just home from the game, how good was that!?
I have a real chip on my shoulder about this North Melbourne - Tasmania "official" name of our team. Should never have had to happen.
It's absolute cr@p we didn't get in as one of the original eight teams, we actually had a long standing relationship with the Melb Uni women's team and had demonstrated a commitment to it for some time, I can see why the Dogs, the Dees and the four interstate teams were selected, but it's cr@p Carlton and Collingwood were the other two, so unlike the AFL to give them a leg up!
Then when they were expanding, we should have been an automatic first choice, but no, we have to compromise and agree to also represent Tasmania in order to be selected ahead of teams like * and Hawthorn (who both said publicly when it started, that a women's team wasn't in their plans, but changed their minds when it became cool!) Just to get what we should have already had, it has to be done with sh!thouse compromise!
Anyway, it's always p!ssed me off, so it was great to absolutely smash those pricks from across Flemington Rd today!
