THE Victorian Women’s Football League will provide much of the talent for a one-off AFL match between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.
The game will be the curtain-raiser for the AFL home-and-away game between the Demons and Bulldogs at the MCG. It is the first time women’s teams will play as AFL representatives in member club guernseys.
The women’s Melbourne and Western Bulldogs teams will be filled via a draft.
Players aged 17 and over from the 2011 All-Australian team, 2012 high performance squad and 2013 state teams will be invited to nominate for the draft, which will take place early next month and be managed by the AFL.
