Demons Celebrate Women & Girls

The Melbourne Football Club celebrated women and girls in football by naming the Round 13 clash against GWS "Women’s Round".

As major sponsors of Victorian Women's Football League since 2009, the Club is passionate about promoting females who play, administer and support Australian Rules.

There were lots of activities at the MCG to celebrate Women's Round:

• All Girls Clinic on the MCG
• More than 150 girls took part in a clinic on the MCG facilitated by
• Melbourne players and participants of the Trident Girls Academy - a program run by the Club to develop women in football.

Free tickets for women in football
The Club gave away tickets to 500 women and girls who play and administer football including those from the Victorian Women’s Football League.
