It was twenty years ago today, that the women began to play.
Well, not quite. Women’s Aussie Rules was being played for decades off and on, even before the founding of the VWFL in 1981.
But it wasn’t until 2003 that the first ever women’s match took place at the USAFL Nationals. Granted, it was an exhibition played with the wrap rule (no tackling yet), but it was the first step.

Yeah, I used that four years ago, but with the great man having gone to the great tiki bar in the sky, now’s a good time to use it as we return to Lakewood Ranch.
It’s been a very, very interesting season from top to bottom. From upsets at regionals, to after the siren heroics, and teams asserting themselves at every level. More than 200 games were played in everything from biblical downpours to oppressive heat.
