Hi Michael RVC. I think that’s an issue that really does need to be discussed more- I probably will write about it at some point. But after McLachlan’s comments last week, and because of GWS’ success, it seemed to be the right time to write a piece on salary cap equality.
Salary cap equality? Too little, too late
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Completely agree with you Penster!
Women’s footy fills in the bye round gap
The lack of health cover is really concerning.
It’s certainly unfair that these women will still have to take up second jobs because the pay is insufficient. But if they are seriously injured, they won’t be able to work. Without the health insurance, they’ll really be in trouble.

Hi Jax
No I haven’t seen every single high free kick awarded to Chistensen and Mclean, so it might have been a bit of a generalisation on my part. Sorry for that.
But I think it’s still staggering that so many high frees were given to two players in the first ten rounds of the season. I have seen these players play, so I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that some (but not necessarily all) of these free kicks involved some sort of acting.
Thanks for your feedback.
Is 'ducking' really a blight on the game?
Thanks for the nice feedback Bigstu!
