A fantastic morning at the club discussing gender-based violence, gender equality and relationships & healthier masculinities for #16DaysOfActivism. Some great guests including @melbournefc's @bdbrown50 & @carltonfc_w's @darcyvee and Alex & Tao from @JesuitSocialSer.

Brisbane AFLW have 31 players on their list (not sure how many currently injured), as opposed to 45ish on a men's list. AFLM lists had flexibility to rest players en masse during those quick turnarounds mentioned. Just another point to consider.
@Larnell13 @MarkGottlieb I agree, that’s difficult. Collingwood mens team did 4 games in 13 days in 3 states back in 2020?

While there is a lot of focus on the 32 or so refugees detained in Park Hotel, for those who are just hearing about this, after 9 years there are still over 200 people offshore in PNG and Nauru, and 70 onshore. Those in PNG have been abandoned there by Australia.

Our @ASRC1 Catering has lost $19,000 in work in 20 hours & growing, due to new COVID restrictions. We’re going to keep paying our casual staff but would love you to order our delicious meals made by people seeking asylum to create as much work as possible https://t.co/eG9cQbrhcA

Thanks @TheRubyDemons - the pleasure was mine!
This morning we had a surprise phone call from the awesome @bdbrown50! Ben is a longtime supporter of inclusion in sport and we can’t wait to see him in the @melbournefc forward line when he recovers from his knee injury ❤️💙🏳️🌈

I hate the talk around keeping politics out of sport. A) ignoring a conversation is a statement in itself and B) you can’t claim that sport is a central component of this nations cultural identity but then say it should stick to the field when it attempts to shift the culture.

After a pretty shocking yarn about WAGs circulated today, it made me think about all the incredible female athletes in this country. So I made a list. And the hardest part about it was there are so many talented names that missed out. Australia's Top 100 Female Athletes ⬇️

We’ve heard of a photo bomb, but what about a Zoom bomb? 14-year-old Kaylah thought she was interviewing a staff member from The Huddle about its community work. Little did she know it was to be @NorthAFLW captain @Kearney_Em11 with a camo from @NMFCOfficial star @bdbrown50.

The Minister for Health has determined the end of the COVIDSafe data period effective from 16 August 2022. All COVIDSafe app data has now been deleted from the National COVIDSafe Data Store.
