All of Georgie's teams lost this week + Hawthorn racism review + The Knuckleheads
How does it happen that every team you support loses in one weekend? Such was the case for Georgie this weekend. The North Queensland Cowboys lost to Parramatta Eels, the Sydney Swans lost to the Geelong Cats, the Wallabies lost to the All Blacks (again) at Eden Park, and the South Sydney Rabbitohs lost to the Penrith Panthers. Thank goodness for Robbie Williams. He really saved it for us. We now also have an A3 Flow Chart for the F1, and have been able to reference the movie Cars in this conversation. The NRWL and AFLW are moving into finals rounds and we’ll have more on those codes next week.
The Hawthorn Racism Review was released last week and its contents were so distressing that we wanted to look away and not talk about it on the podcast. However, not discussing these things is a pretty privileged position to be in, and ignoring a problem never helps. We’re very aware that our perspective is that of two white women, so please make sure you watch or read the comments of First Nations people such as Tony Armstrong, Eddie Betts, Brooke Boney and Stan Grant (see the links below).
And for a grassroots heartwarmer, we bring you the Darwin Wanderers AFL Under 12 all girls team. Affectionately referred to as “the Knuckleheads” this girl gang joined the mixed comp and beat all the boys to earn their spot in the grand final. Have a listen to some of their comments - we think they sum up everything brilliant that sport could be.
