@amyloudoherty Huge congrats! Show us what real creativity is.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

Love the long passes into the shooter - great awareness - & so many classy intercepts.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@michelangeloruc @theTiser @TheTiserSport Almost 36 years, wow! Were your papers marked 'never to be released'? Good luck with your new life.

Embedded video in this NYT piece has 6:40 of fab Sam Kerr goals & back flips #FIFAWWC #girlsjustwannahavefun

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@MishCowan Interesting idea @MishCowan. What about for girls/women?

Important article: Former New Zealand PM @HelenClarkNZ speaks about the inequalities between male/female sport, including, different treatment at all levels and under-representation of women in sport in media, coaching staff etc https://t.co/3i86rQTZMr cc @meljones_33 @sammostyn

@fearnymagpie85 Delighted! From memory, you were the big AFLW fan who went to watch the GF in Adel with help from the very generous Susan Alberti.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

Just for fun I’ve cut AFLM season to 7 rounds + 2 weeks of finals. Teams split into 2 conferences based on 2018 H&A ladder. Next week’s prelims, 1v2 crossovers: Coll v Freo (MCG); Geel v GWS (GMHBA). Good luck! #5minswork

@womensfootyfans Good to see the official announcement today but you had the scoop 👍. Saints will be v competitive with Peta in charge.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

Good to hear 👏. Anyone know whether Richmond & St Kilda AFLW teams have appointed head coaches?

[AFL Women's @aflwomens]

JUST IN: Bec Goddard has emerged as a candidate for @CollingwoodFCW coaching position. Full details here 👉 https://t.co/8w3UtoUoq7 #AFLW #Journeyto2020

@fionalamby @womeninsportau @tracethekick @AFLSydney @GWSGIANTS Good that you've now added her & her achievements. Don't know much about NSW coaches so she wasn't on my radar. Seems to me female coaches often hope to be noticed for quietly doing a good job. Maybe players & fans can help them bang the drum.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@womeninsportau I get so mad when I hear people say there aren't enough experienced, qualified or quality female coaches for the top jobs in AFLW. Not saying the field should be exclusively female but it definitely shouldn't be exclusively male.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@womeninsportau Sure, just don't know much about her as a coach & younger than most of the others? Alicia Eva coming up, too, but am thinking of women capable right now. Martine Pearman should also be mentioned with original listing.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@womensfootyfans Fabulous! Thanks. Now to see who Collingwood & Richmond appoint.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@womensfootyfans Yes, I'd thought Peta Searle as well but not sure it's been confirmed. I found stories titling her Saints' head of women's football, head coach of Southern Saints & saying she was a shoo-in for the AFLW role. But nothing definite I could see.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@nicolasnicola22 @ABCArts ... and, if we're proof-reading, how about 'alcoholic' (instead of 'alcholic')?

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@catswomens Bravo, Audrey! Fascinating. Loved photo of player having tackled another to the ground, showing willingness to play hard - a constant of female footy historically.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@maustash No way. Surely just 2 years? Or else a time warp explains it.

[Brunette Lenkić @bounce_down]

@MishCowan @aflwomens Yes to Erin Phillips as winner but think Kiara Bowers will be outright 2nd & Ash Brazill 3rd. Wouldn't be surprised to see Maddy Prespakis in top 5.
