Seems to be a bit of divided opinion about Harmes's game. Thoughts on his output and role? I feel like he's often a slow starter (in games and in seasons), but with pressure on spots...

Also don't forget to mention the epic re-signing announcement for the women's team - I know you won't miss it, but there's so much to discuss, so just making triple sure. That was some intense solidarity in the face of some (relatively speaking) big bucks.

Man o man the coincidences are piling up. Not 5 mins ago i sent this message to andy 'a reminder andy we should highlight the fact 28 AFLW players resigned'.

Awesome news. I'm sure Geroge will be all over it

I have a question for you DIO. 

I heartily cheered and clapped the AFLW team as they walked past where i was sitting. Was about to yell out something along the lines of go girls, or some such. But i don't like the term girls for women.

But i couldn't think of an alternative. I thought about yelling "well done women" but it didn't sound right. And 'well done dees AFLW team' is even worse. 

So, my question. What is an alternative to girls when yelling support to multiple dees women players?

What about heroes?

From Chat GPT

"A possible alternative to using "girls" when yelling support to a women's football team would be to use "women," "ladies," or "players." Using any of these terms shows respect for the players' gender and emphasizes their athletic ability and skill, rather than focusing on their gender."

So next time i'm yelling collective support for the women's team. i'll yell (in a super creepy, playas voice) :

'Hey ladies......' 

I went for premiers, but sadly that doesn't work week in and week out!

I actually think it could 😇

God it was so good to [censored] the winging Beverage and those arrogant Dogs.

And how refreshing is it to have 4 normally best 22 players too come in and have no idea who makes way for them.

Glad I'm not part of the coaching staff, might be a year where players have to show it in the VFL before getting straight back into the side!

Tomlinson for May.
Laurie for Viney.
Pickett for Fritta.
McVee for Salem.

I'd play Salem in the VFL but otherwise agree.

Fair enough.
I don't even know when Salem is supposed to be ready.

Will Hibbo get a guernsey against the lions? How good was Melksham's goal.

Sorry didn't see this question. I don't think they will play Hibberd this week. I think Judd McVee will get the gig on Cameron. It's a big ask and I can't wait to see how he goes.

Melksham's goal was awesome. Perfect use of the sub.

Totally agree on the Discussions about TMac and Harmes

Harmes 42 pressure acts…

That allows the midfield to take control..

Options:

1. Ask the female players what term they would prefer
2. The word 'guys' is the only regularly used word, previously referring to males exclusively, that I am aware of that has become somewhat gender-neutral in the recent past. Maybe that can work.

Bit late for the podcast but reflecting on Saturday night’s team we had the 4 injured premiership players missing plus the unlucky JJ out as well from the 2021 premiership team. Does he qualify as a “premiership player”?

Of course he does. He has a Premiership medal and was an important cog in the machine that enabled us to finish on top of the ladder. Traditionalists may disagree but players like Jayden Hunt were very important to the success of the team that year too. I'm not suggesting that they all get medals or be called premiership players but they were important parts of a very successful team.

Had precisely the same dilemma, then very happily realised we all use “BOYS” for the men’s team (who ever shouts “GO MEN”?) Thus, for me, ‘GIRLS’ is entirely appropriate (despite seeming like a cutesy diminishment from a middle-aged man), and it’s a relief, because the alternatives are very odd out of the mouth. Also, listening to the middle-aged women at MFC AFLW games, and ‘Girls’ is their preferred. The problem obviously then comes with respect to those who identify as they/them. I’m toying with “Dee-humans” as the future. “GO YOU MIGHTY DEE-HUMANS!” Hmmmm…….’DEE-BODS’ maybe?

Love that you're thinking how to respect and include non binary and gender fluid people!  

We're lucky we have the ultimate gender neutral shout... Go Dees!  ❤💙

if Jayden Hunt isn’t a premiership player than JJ isn’t either imo. he didn’t play even one minute in the GF. 

Hopefully the AFL have changed this ridiculous rule that non-playing subs get assigned a game.
