Chicks Talking Footy

Bec, Fi and Sasha dissected the AFL grand final from every angle, Bec’s amazing breakfast and catering, Kylie and GFlip superbowl level pre-game entertainment, and the ultimate 4 minute choke by the Dockers.

Lots of movement at the Clubs with coaches and players. We decided that John Longmire is a consultant post retirement from his full time job after taking up the Performance manager at the Bombers.

Fi caught up with Steve Dimopoulos MP for Sport and MP for Equality to talk footy, funding, and what ‘levelling the playing field’ actually looks like from inside government.

Fi, Bec and Sasha caught up on all the finals news. Unfortunately for Bec and Sash a lot of that was Hawks related.  Between bottle throwing after a close Prelim loss, breaking North Melbourne’s winning streak in the AFLW, winning the VFL grand final against Geelong and Emily Bates injuring her ACL, there was a lot to discuss from the Hawks nest.

We did manage to talk about the Freemantle come back, the Swans Pullman 5 going addressing the Club, Kylie performing at the MCG and the VFLW grand final upset.
