Just two weeks until the start of the footy season. The real one. The AFLW one.
GWS Giants AFLW memberships are only $79, which is ridiculously good value: https://am.ticketmaster.com/gwsgiants/AFLWSupporter
(I've already got my membership, because I'm not a TERF. Which means I believe in financially supporting women's sports and attending games, as opposed to using "women's sports" as a stick to attack trans people with.)
For the round one game on Saturday 16 August, they've got a double-header with the men's game as a curtain raiser at 1:40pm, before the women's game at 4:45pm: http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/2083659
And because both matches are against West Coast, honestly the women's game is likely to be the more entertaining contest...

Columnist: I'm standing up for what I believe in! Protecting women's sport! And I'll keep standing up for it, no matter how much those snowflakes try to silence me and my right to free speech!
Citizen: That's fantastic! You know, female athletes have to put up with so much vicious misogyny and abuse, especially on social media. Some men really can be snowflakes when it comes to women's sport.
Columnist: No! I'm raising the big issue in women's sport, and I'm being /attacked/ for it!
Citizen: Really?! People are attacking you for saying female athletes deserve equal pay for equal work?
Columnist: Not that one! I'm talking about something far more serious, affecting the health and wellbeing of female athletes. And even the very integrity of women's sport itself!
Citizen: Do you mean how sports science focuses almost exclusively on male athletes, leading to women suffering anterior cruciate ligament injuries at six times the rate of men (citation: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/magazine/acl-tear-women-girl-sports.html )?
Citizen: Or do you mean how elite women's sport is routinely relegated to worse venues and TV coverage, with less sponsorship and promotion?
Columnist: No! I'm talking about protecting women's sport from the scourge of men transitioning for the sole purpose of winning at women's sport!
Citizen: Why would a professional male athlete who's not trans want to go through all the challenges and discrimination of transitioning for less pay, less TV coverage, fewer sponsorships, smaller crowds, less promotion, higher injury risk, worse venue, online abuse, and rampant misogyny, just to win at women's sport?
Columnist: Because *winning*!
Citizen: Can you give an example of where this has actually happened?
Columnist: ...
Citizen: And what do you propose to do about it?
Columnist: Totally dismantle democracy, install a totalitarian dictatorship, arrest or kill anyone who disagrees with said despot, and deport ethnic minorities en masse. Also we'll use it to justify rolling back all healthcare and civil rights to trans people, establishing that human rights exist at the arbitrary will of our overload, which the despot will use arbitrarily against all women and any other individuals or groups he disagrees with.
Citizen: That seems a bit... extreme.
Columnist: It's all to protect women's sport.
Citizen: And what will you do about the other issues I raised?
Columnist: Well, if any of them, such as research into sports medicine for women or facilities for women's sport, require public funding, then we'll cut the funding and give the money back to rich supporters of our despot as a tax cut.
Citizen: I see. Say, just out of curiosity, who do you think will win the grand final in the AFLW this year?
Columnist: I honestly don't care. I'm not into women's sport, sorry.

Total Grand Final domination from North Melbourne the appropriate manner in which to win their 27th straight game and second straight premiership. Phenomenal team, so disciplined and well-structured, deserve all the plaudits and success which comes their way. #AFLW

Every post-sport interview ever:
Interviewer: so sports person, you just won a sport, what do you think about how you sported?
Sportsperson (slightly out of breath): well we just went out there to sport as hard as we could, and the other team were sporting pretty hard, but on the day we sported better, and the rest of the team sported super hard, so, yeah,But congrats to North Melbourne for their record breaking achievement.

Congratulations to Tilly on their surgery.
And also a quick reminder that "trans people in sport" also includes trans men, transmasc, and nonbinary people.
Should be obvious, but it's astounding how often they're completely erased from the conversation. (Especially by TERFs.) #AFL #AFLW #trans

My kid, who moved to Melbourne nearly 4 years ago, has just become aware of Sam Newman. You could say she's underwhelmed.
