"We’re two months out from pre-season and there’s no fixture, we have no season.
"(The AFLW players) want a level playing field. They want more representation on the AFLPA board. They’re being told the constitution prevents that. Even the AFL are on their side there.”
"Saying players shouldn’t be paid because they don’t bring in the money is just punishing them for historical under-investment."

This is everything that is wrong with reporting on women’s sport unbelievable Barty is a chance to be world no 1 and this is article we get in Saturday paper @Kate_ohalloran
"On Wednesday, nine days ahead of their tournament opener against South Korea, the France team were hurried out of their Clairefontaine training base to make way for the men's team, ahead of a friendly against Bolivia." #FIFAWWC#WomenInSport https://t.co/NYmG1FHOIZ via @theage
Why indeed... The 'lack of revenue' argument certainly doesn't stand up considering “the senior women’s team brought in more revenue than the men’s team over the last 3 years “

I scribbled this as part of a piece which will be in @theheraldsun tomorrow. The sexist commentary around #AFLW has implications far wider than football.
...if the girls just “shut up and play”, “don’t give this criticism oxygen”, put their head down and kick more goals this criticism will go away. Wrong.....”Draw a large crowd?..trolled for entry being free. Kick more goals?..trolled for how easy it is for “chicks to kick goals”.
New on the blog - AFLW trolling, brand management, the Streisand effect, the "shut up and smile" debate, and Sarah Perkins vs Fox Footy
