The first thread in this Women's AFL forum unfortunately deteriorated into a negative "who's interested in women playing footy" put-down. I'm very pleased to see that Paul Roos is very interested in the women's game and has expressed some interest in coaching Melbourne's women's team once his tenure as senior coach of the men concludes at the end of this season.

�It�s a fascinating stage in football because of the inclusiveness. There�s a lot of opportunities and I absolutely love watching the girls. What they bring to the game � with their passion, excitement and standard of football � it�s going to be fantastic.�

Paul Roos says he�d be interested in coaching Melbourne�s women�s team
