Went to the backyard to clear my mind after the Carlton game/lockdown/general 17 months of bullshit and had a possum wee on me, and my gin & tonic from the tree above and to be honest I couldn’t think of a better metaphor for our lives right now.

At the pub after the footy last night I was groped on the bum. Once he realised he actually knew one of our mates, the moron apologised to HIM saying “I didn’t realise you were with her” - as if he should have just violated a different woman. That’s assault. IT’S NOT OK.

If you reckon you're tired today give this one a whirl. Record-setting Aussie woman Erchana Murray-Bartlett is on the cusp of completing 150th marathon in 150 days. She started her run days before Nedd Brockmann and she’s still going 6300km later.

Women’s sport hasn’t just arrived, it’s always been here. If you’re passionate about what’s going on with the Matildas this week, know that there is an offering of skilled, wonderful female athletes competing at the highest level all year round and they want your support ❤️

Outside of quitting their day jobs to accomodate their footy careers what are these athletes expected to do?! Many of the players feel like they’ve already called in their years worth of favours at work and now they’re expected to just make it happen in three months??…

It’s now May. June’s next. July thereafter. Next comes August. Apparently that’s the month the next AFLW season will commence. Anyone wanna step-up and lead the way here for these footballers busting their asses and trying to get their lives in order to make this happen?
