Chicks Talking Footy

Fi and Motty celebrated footy Christmas – the AFL Grand Final week!

We caught up with Chloe McMillan VFLW coach and Player Development coach from the Collingwood Football Club. We got some goss from the inside walls of Collingwood FC from her and talked about her journey in to leadership at the Club via her role at Champion data.

We caught up with the fans from Brisbane Lions and the Pies and dissected the Brownlow – should umpires decide on points?

It was a jam packed show with snakes on the footy oval, the chicks making it on to some billboards, the heat of the AFL Finals, AFLW high scoring and we chatted to Cartlon co-vice captain Jess Del Pos about the Carlton Respects game coming up in round 4 of the AFLW season.

We also did a fitting tribute to Ron Barassi and played a clip from the ABC.

The Chicks welcomed another guest host, Kel Rowe (fresh off a premiership win). Sash and Kel talked about that Maynard case – so many opinions, the finals games of the weekend and all things AFLW Round 2. Plus, we played an interview with Tanya Hosch, General Manager of Social Inclusion AFL, from the archives.

Fi, Bec and Breeza were in their sweet spot of the footy cycle – first week of AFLW round 1 and AFL Finals beginning this week. We chatted to our dear friend Sarina Jackson, president of the Rainbow Swans LGBTIQA+ supporter group about Buddy retiring, the future of the Pride game and the petition to end homophobia in the AFL.

Motty and Fi caught up with the CEO of Women’s Football (and Olympic medallist), Nicole Livingstone on the eve of Season 8 of the AFLW. We chatted about the new higher scoring strategies, rule changes, the growth of the league, the investment in women’s footy, prize money announcements, the Friday 5 pm timeslot and most importantly whether she’s a pie, chip or hot dog person.

It’s going to be a ripper season.

Joining us on the show this week was Head of Women’s Footy Nicole Livingstone who answered all of our questions on the AFLW Season ahead.

Fi and Breeza also welcomed guest host Sarah Burt into our Chicks Talking Footy family. Sarah is a Digital Sports Reporter online for Channel 7 and you can also catch Sarah on 3AW doing boundary line special comments and stats during the AFLW season. 

We review all the footy news of the week and the final Home and Away Round of the AFL season. 

Give us a listen!!

The Chicks caught up with Louise Milligan about her report on 4 Corners this week – ‘The Silence: AFL’s Last Taboo.

The AFL is the only major sporting code in the world that hasn’t had a single elite male player publicly identify as gay. Louise Milligan investigated the AFL’s culture and asks what has created this silence? The league’s governing body signed a pledge to tackle persistent homophobia a decade ago. But Milligan speaks with players, advocates and supporters who all say the code’s lack of leadership on the issue is baffling.

We asked her about her experience creating the report, more about what she uncovered and more importantly what are the solutions for the AFL moving forward.

Motty and Fi welcomed our guest host Tara Murray to join us in our footy chats this week – she prefers chips over pies or hot dogs.

We had a chat with Louise Milligan, the journalist behind the Four Corners story that aired last Monday night The Silence – AFL’s Last Taboo.It was illuminating, challenging and shed light on the homophobic attitudes that exist within the AFL.

We had all the news of the AFL round plus player retirements, coach appointments, last gasp wins (and losses) and also the big news that the AFLW prizemoney will double to 1.1 million, same as the mens.

This week, AFL takes a back seat as Breeza, Bec and Fi, kick off the show talking all things Matilda’s. We, like the Nation are a buzz with excitement after that thrilling quarter final victory versus France. We discuss all of our feelings watching that intense Penalty shootout. We also catch up with Kerry Harris from Women’s onside.

We dissect the AFL Round 22 matches and Bec’s Retirement rap is not to be missed.

The Chicks welcomed Danielle Croci to join us on the crazy CTF panel. We have a few fabulous guest co-hosts over the season which is a bit of fun.

Danielle chatted to Georgia Nanscawen ex Hockyroo and now Bomber AFLW player. Nanscawen led the club to claim the 2022 VFLW Premiership and claimed the back-to back Lambert-Pearce Medal, the VFLW’s highest individual honour.

Bec is looking for words that rhyme with Cunnington for her next retirement wrap and Sasha had a new segment called the coaches corner and gave us a run down of some of the AFLW coaches for season 2023.

They were all briefly evacuated from the studio but managed to keep the show going under pressure!
