If you’re wondering why there is no minute silence for the Queen at AFLW games because it is INDIGENOUS ROUND…. Think, think again, think slightly deeper then realise 💡 and keep scrolling 🖤💛❤️
#ALWAYSwasALWAYSwillbe
If you’re outside Victoria and think you understand what we are going through...you don’t. Honestly, I enjoyed the first lockdown it was a great way to refresh and relax. This is not like that anymore. This is not easy. This is not fun. Please let this end soon.
If grounds are selling out in 30 mins due to reduced capacity (social distancing requirements etc) is there a maybe a need to play at slightly bigger venues to accomodate more fans? Just a thought 🤔

Not sure how many other clubs have their senior coach helping to prepare dinner for the VFLW team after training! Rats has been to both of our finals so far! Truly is one club 🔴⚪️⚫️

Hey
@marvelstadiumau
is there any chance there could be a female toilet in the radio box area? Would make things a lot more comfortable for us female callers.

The good news is (hopefully) we (AFLW players) can do our best to keep you all entertained from your couch for the next 5 days. Please note this is absolutely not confirmed just a hopefully tweet 🙃
To everyone playing their first game of footy in a long, long time today and to quote a good friend of mine, Shania “LET’S GO GIRLS” 😍

On the tram to work and so surprised to see so many people not wear masks. Come on Melbourne, we all know what happens if we don’t act fast. Wear a mask 😷

Local football training doesn’t even start by 5.15pm on a week night..Why? Because no one can get there by the after work so how is this supposed to allow people to attend?
#AFLW
This is an awful look IMO. Exactly what we are hoping NOT to see from players. Making their head hit the ground, then clutching at it. Umpires have a hard enough job, don’t be doing this crap.
#AFLDeesNorth
“Players generally lack the sufficient skills to deal with congestion.” I wonder how quickly these lack of skills world improve if we were full-time. We train 15hrs/week. Don’t expect a professional outcome when we are semi-professional athletes.
Massive day for AFLW players. Thank you

THANK YOU MOORABBIN, thank you loyal
@stkildafc
&
@stkildafcw
fans. Thank you so much for such a massive turn out in our first game. We could hear you and feel how much this meant to you all. Onwards and upwards from here 🙌🏽
Wondering what the reaction would be if the men’s season was shortened by two rounds at the end of the comp & went straight to finals but included a top 10 🤔
#FoodForThought
Okay fine, have an extra game but you can play it mid week, when no one will be able to come and with a 4 day break! And nah you can’t play at Marvel bc it’s too easy for people to get to and it isn’t wind affected so the quality of football might be too good…
#ALFW
"The AFLW fixture will be announced in June with the 11-round competition expected to be compressed into 10 weeks with the extra games played during September"
It has been 221 days since I have played or trained with a group of teammates. On Saturday we finally get to do it again... to say I’m excited is an understatement. 🙌🏽

They're the pictures that have health authorities on edge tonight - thousands of mask-free Melburnians flocking to beaches ahead of our warmest weekend in seven months.

This is embarrassing. Pretty sure my parents who live in QLD would much prefer to see their children who live interstate than have 100 people in their home 🙄
As we keep getting vaccinated and look ahead to the future, it’s important to understand the freedoms we’re currently enjoying here in Queensland - due to everyone’s hard work.
We need to keep it up. If you haven’t had your jab, get vaccinated this weekend💪
Gerard: Is the AFLPA duty bound to oppose (the players paying the) fine?
Garry: I can't see any way the players will be paying the fine.
Huddo: Do you think they should?
Garry: Not really. It's probably 70 per cent of their wages.
Yeh you’re totally correct, as female AFL players we get completely overpaid, especially when you compare our wages to male players... lucky we all work other jobs and have other careers so that when we get the pay cut you are suggesting we will still have some income.
@kateemac9
@AFL
@aflwomens
Who will pay for it? Males getting 30% of total whilst women are getting between 10000% and 100000% of what they bring in. Time for a pay cut
I just cannot believe how many people were watching that tonight. The reaction videos from such a wide range of people from all different sports and walks of life. As someone who has watched the evolution of women in all sports, I am astounded & so proud 🥲

#FIFAWWC
The way this has been handled is disgraceful. We tell people to speak up about their mental health but then when they do they are scrutinised even more heavily. I really hope the tennis world and the public learn from this. But most of all I hope

is okay ❤️

No worries about the clash with AFLW Friday night at Whitten Oval? Would have loved this to be addressed by Andrew Dillon but neither Wheatley or Lewis asked
Moves to Melbourne. Excited at the prospect of watching loads of footy, especially finals live. Every finals game since moving played interstate (including last year where the GF was in the state I moved from). I’m fine. 🙃

Best thing about

has to be the integration of ‘para’ athletes competing at the same time. Love watching so many inspirational athletes all on the one stage! 🙌🏼
Loved listening to Kelli back on my Telli. She’s one of faves. My thoughts go out to the folks out there who don’t like women who know their footy. Hope you’re all okay after that and managing alright ❤️
Kelli Underwood will make her return to the television commentary box tonight during FOX FOOTY Frenzy 2.0‼️
Joining Jason Dunstall, David King and Mark Howard the team will be calling the blockbuster between Richmond and Fremantle.

I miss seeing my best mates at training. Not knowing when we might start again is really tough and taking it’s toll mentally. Hope everyone else is hanging in there!
