The standard of umpiring across the AFLW is ruining it for me. And it’s not just cause I’m salty with skin in this game. Watching other games as a neutral I sit there and shake my head baffled by decisions. AFLM no better.

And to reiterate my point, my watch has now just alerted to me to the fact that continued exposure at the level of decibels currently being experienced will cause permanent hearing loss. 😂
At the risk of showing my age and sounding like a Karen, unable to hold a conversation right now at Ikon due to the constant volume of music and announces coming out of the speakers. I’m here for a game of footy, not a concert or a boxing match. FMD. #AFLW

A group of Coalition parliamentarians, including Barnaby Joyce and Andrew Hastie, have seized on a proposed new law to give paid parental leave to parents of a child who is stillborn or dies, arguing it should not be available to anyone needing a late-term abortion.
A senior doctor has labelled the comments as “terrible, cynical, awful” things to say about an often heartbreaking decision, as experts point out that the vast majority of later terminations are forced by major health issues and warn fearmongering about the issue is straight out of the anti-abortion handbook.

Turns out not having the breeze did us a favour. Richmond didn’t flood our forward line since they needed to score with the wind. Enabled us to move it a bit more freely. #AFLWDeesTigers

I know I've posted a lot of words about the booing of Isaac Quaynor but I am just so disturbed by it. It is far too reminiscent of the booing of Adam Goodes. Isn't it a funny coincidence that so many booing targets are players of colour; POC who didn't "know their place" and spoke up #afl

Fantastic job by the umps. This game was getting dull. Inserted themselves and wow! Now I’m entertained! 🤣

I’m a queer footy fan. Last night’s targeted booing by Crows fans just set the game back, says Monique Van Der Heyden

Adelaide proving themselves to be what was previously unthinkable. Worse than Collingwood fans. In particular the booing of Quaynor. Disgusting.

That bulldogs hawks game would have to be the most frustrating game to watch that I can recall. Butchered opportunities at every turn.

Well medically induced homophobia is certainly a new thing for the AFL. Is it something that we should raise money for a charity? Should I do a walk to stop medically induced homophobia?

How surprising (not)… you knew the AFL would fumble their response. Not good enough. And fuck you Adelaide for pleading it down. I’ve gone from wishing them going all the way to wishing for a straight sets exit. Go GWS.
