A BIG week in footy and we try to unpack it all. Firstly, Marielle recommends this interview with AFLW player Taylah Harris on Shameless Media’s Inherited Podcast. We celebrate Mitch Brown as the AFLM’s first openly bi-sexual player. You can find his interviews with The Daily Aus here and here. Our chat includes the perspective of a close friend who is a member of the LBGTQIA + community. We sincerely thank them for their time, vulnerability and generosity. We also recommend this article from Missing Perspectives by Bridget Hustwaite. The AFLM top eight is locked in so we try to help you decide who to support if your team didn’t make it. Meanwhile, all 18 teams are alive and well in the AFLW and we celebrate Indigenous Round! Check out the Indigenous Round team guernseys here. We also cover the AFL awards fall out and even more retirements. This week, Marielle shares this Instagram Reel from Collingwood while Monica used the opportunity to surprise Marielle with a birthday message from two Geelong legends.Join our anyone’s game community tipping comp by signing up on the AFL Live app or aflwtipping.afl with comp code 3C6SJ3FN.This week’s sources come from:It’s Insta official!
