As we close off AFLW Round 7, Emma, Lucy, Shelley and Nic talk about Pride Round, and how far we’ve come since the first Hampson-Hardeman Cup. We tackle recent developments at Essendon, including issues around boardroom governance, the insularity of clubland, and the fraught notion of “culture wars”. Plus, Period Watch.

We mentioned the latest episode of Chicks Talking Footy - listen to their excellent show here. You can also find out more about the work of Jason Tuazon-McCheyne and the Purple Bombers here.
