Some people think that female athletes can’t have muscles and we’re over it. 

We get straight to work and chat with 3 time premiership winning NRWL player, Julia Robinson, about her standing up to the body shaming bullies. 

Libby’s been reliving 2007 with the Duel in the Pool in Sydney. Australia narrowly lost to the US, but the event saw multi ability athletes compete in the same events, as well as the last races for Ellie Cole and Matt Levy.

We recognise our complete lack of knowledge when it comes to Australia’s oldest game, AFL, but can’t help but have a chat about the mess that erupted at Essendon this week and the nail biting match between Collingwood and Carlton.

Georgie talks about the arrival in Australia of Afghanistan's Olympic flag-bearer, Kimiya Yousofi, and what Afghanistan’s participation in the Olympics will mean for women and girls from that country.
