AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
So a couple days ago Prespakis posted to her story on instagram with a screenshot of a direct message she had been sent from some loser talking shit about her body and calling out the person who sent it. I don’t have a copy of that but remember seeing it… and looks like no one else has posted it anywhere either, but here is the aftermath:

And then 7 managed to dig up some comments she made about her body in the preseason which really just makes it rough tbh.
The weirdest thing about it with this one is it’s purely down to some sort of beauty ideal… the stuff we hear about Jake Stringer they at least try to dress up their body shaming as a performance enhancement strategy.
In this case no one is even trying to dress it up as a performance argument… because how could you, when she’s the best player in the comp over the last five years?
If the best NFL players are built like a brick outhouse, and the best gymnasts are short and flexible, swimmers are built like a dolphin with big feet, why should it not be the case that the best player in the AFLW is the ideal body type for this sport, rather than wanting her to look like a gymnast? How would we be if she played like a gymnast.. just cartwheel through the centre bounce and get squished like an ant.
