Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And from where we sit, the growth of women’s Aussie Rules is the apple of our collective eyes.
Women’s footy was repressed for many years in Australia, and seen as a curiosity when leagues started to be formed. But by the 2000’s, there was growth and the will to make something sustainable. By the 2010’s, there were calls for a professional league in line with their men’s counterpart, and that all came to a head in 2017 with the birth of AFLW.

Twenty-five years ago, a Revolution began.
It wasn’t a revolt, rebellion, or a mutiny, much like the one that led to the foundation of our country. But it was, in a sense, a coup. A new national team in a sport that no one representing it had played growing up.
This was the USA Revolution Aussie Rules football club. In 1999, they played their first game, a 20-point win over Canada in Chicago. Back then, there was around a dozen or so clubs, and the local American players were easily distinguishable by their lack of skills.

I feel a Freeze in the atmosphere.
No, not just that my air conditioning is turned up high thanks to the summer heat. It’s the chill of a brand new team at the top of the July Odin Mortgage Women’s Poll.
Minnesota’s ascension was one of a slew of post-regionals shifts to both the Women’s and Men’s tallies. No fewer than 21 of the thirty spots found themselves with new occupancies, including all top six spots for the women and seven of the top ten for the men.

The summer of 2024 is proving to be hotter than in years’ past.
Not just in temperature, though it’s certainly beginning to feel that way in places across the country, something something global warming something something.
