    Anyone else watching the women's comp? some pretty exciting games, even if the skills are pretty low, but that is to be expected at this early stage in the competition. The intent and toughness is there though.

    I hope it turns out to be a success, more footy is always a good thing :)

    Isn't there an Irish girl involved? I saw an article on the 42.ie recently but didn't read it in full.

    Laura Duryea, from Cavan. Plays for Melbourne. I haven't seen her play yet. I haven't gotten to see Melbourne games, but I'm going to keep an eye out for her.
