My cousin who played aflw.

Before she came out she took her dad to a game and he goes "geez there's a few lezos here, you better watch out!"

Awkward.

Everyone is incredibly proud of her by the way.

Before my time but apparently Polly Farmer never got over the 1967 grand final saying Geelong were robbed by Richmond and the goal umpire who didnt pay a goal when a mark taken over the goal line by us (it wasnt).

The thing is, we won by more than a kick (9pts).

And so the foundation was laid for the Geelong sooky culture.

I was too young to remember the game live, but having watched replays over the years, the siren goes about 5 seconds after Freddy Swift marked the ball anyway.

Maybe dear old Polly was a little upset he could've been in the Yellow & Black when we courted him before he signed with Geelong.
 
Only problem I have is the way it’s pushed at us like it is elite level sport. It’s not even close. Dominated news tonight and there were literally no highlights to show.
So yes, it’s a genuine sport but not worthy of the attention it gets. IMO
That's exactly it. The concentrated push it's getting is making it look even worse than it is. I'm happy for it to grow and improve, which it is, but the CFL and the media scum just lay it on waaaaaayyyy too thick.

Then that's a problem with the media, not the girls/women who play and have to endure constant negative comparisons to the men's game and attacks on their efforts to build their sport.
 
That’s basically all of Fitzroy (all of it), Brunswick, Northcote, Clifton Hill. I’d throw westgarth in there but I think they got rid of it. I’m probably missing a few. Think you can draw the line at Fairfield and thornbury and use the train line to demarcate.

That's the only problem I have with it. I don't watch it because it's not a great standard yet, but that's totally understandable. It's the media and the commentary that annoy the f**k out of me.

So to stop myself from getting angry for no reason, I avoid it.
