Fan Grrrls

*This episode contains discussion and mention of a homophobic slur in the context of hostile crowd environments. The specific mention comes at around 10min 05sec if you feel like skipping past it.* Mindy Mapp, the bass player in iconic punk bands Fur and Little Ugly Girls, joins us this week to chat about finding community in footy, how AFLW only enhanced her love of the game, and the ways in which Brisbane's music scene in the '90s compares to rowdy crowds at the MCG. We also launch a new campaign: get Richo to a Little Ugly Girls show!! Our artwork was designed by Steph Hughes, and our theme song is 'Here if You Need' by Wet Lips.

On this week's episode, we've got a recap of the first couple of weeks of the 2020 AFLW season, including a story of the time Sarah heckled Neil Balme. We give our thoughts on the ticketed vs free game conversation and discuss Bec Godard's fighting words about the Tiges. Then it's time for this show's inevitable move into intense discussions of menstruation. Specifically: how AFLW teams are tracking players' periods to improve performance, and the links between ACL injuries and menstrual cycles. Our artwork was designed by Steph Hughes, and our theme song is 'Here if You Need' by Wet Lips.

A quick catch-up with your favourite fan girls ahead of the 2020 AFLW season, wherein Richmond will debut their women's team. We share some reader mail and Sarah launches a new footy jokes segment. PS - Brodie referred to Richmond's Women's coach as "Tommy White". His name is Tom Hunter. She's sorry.

In our 2019 finale episode, the number of Fan Grrrls in the room rises to four, when muso and lifelong Hawks fan Liz Stringer stops by. Liz talks early footy memories and finding common ground with anyone she spots watching the footy in venue green rooms. We also dig into the sticky cultural stuff that we bristle against when it comes to the game.
