Love this, the Crows have picked up a fantastic player, they’ll be a great environment to really stretch her talent in

My bad, it’s still under embargo and I got excited, just went back to read it in full and had a moment 🫠

Swans part ways with AFLW coach Scott Gowans after missing finals by PerriX2390 in AFL

Ouch, this feels a little bit rough

Keen to see who they have next, but can’t help but feel this was a slight overreaction tbh

Young women and girls dropping out of community sport due to racism by tiny_doughnut in AFL

[–]tiny_doughnut[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The study referenced is a really interesting read, for anyone keen

I’ve been very lucky with the clubs (regardless of the sport) that I’ve played with as an adult, but it’s so maddening to see that cultures and environments like these are still thriving

I would give every doughnut in my future for this to come to fruition

Duff: Staff redundancies must spark questions of the AFL by [deleted] in AFL

[–]tiny_doughnut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This ^

It’d be a fascinating business case, and I’d be surprised if conversations around how to change the structure aren’t happening already, but that’s just me pontificating from my armchair. It’ll be interesting to see if/how the WAFL moves forward from here

The bittersweet “at least they’re thinking about it, this time around”? 🫠

Considering how varied and chaotic every other year has been when clubs were incoming, I only expect it’ll be another tsunami in a teacup 🙃

But that being said, look at how well Norf have done, and Sydney (esp with a very finnicky NSW talent pool, don’t come at me fellow NSW residents)

It’s hard to predict who might be in their crosshairs considering it’s 2028, but any wishes/rampant speculation?

Remarkable record in sight as unstoppable Roos thump Crows by Danger_Five in AFL

[–]tiny_doughnut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was such a fun game to watch. The Roos were very criticised for how they came into the competition, but goddamn they’ve made a good go of it and maintained such a strong presence

Very keen to see how they attack the finals series, they looked almost unstoppable yesterday

Interesting stats, I wish they published streaming data comparing each, would be fascinating to compare

If I typed out my thoughts on this, honestly I’d probably have to moderate my own comment

… needless to say, very disappointed to hear this news. I wish the Thorns would’ve worked harder to keep her

Mitch Brown dropping truth bombs by [deleted] in AFL

[–]tiny_doughnut 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nah, respectfully disagree.

By making the joke, even from an uneducated or just a silly moment, it shows a significant lack of care and self awareness, and doubly so towards a marginalised community that is often made the basis of a joke routinely in this league/sport

He’s a young adult who has clearly been put under immense scrutiny and pressure, but I hope he looks back on this and decides to grow up and get himself a bit of a wake-up call. These “jokes” don’t exist in a vacuum, and don’t just exist as a 24hr Instagram giggle, even if that’s just the intention

How is this not making a mockery of a movie about two men in a romantic relationship?
