That's good news. Looked like a hammy.McAdam had a corkie.
Oh yeah, the dreaded ass corkie he got in the last quarter.McAdam had a corkie.
I think this is Kelly v Milera
What a skirmish, I'm surprised no firearms were brandished, or the camp wasn't mentioned

Why doesnt the Womens comp publish weights? A great chance to show equality missed, and I want to know who the brusiers are.Hey all, been a lurker for way too long. Thought I’d finally create a profile and bestow you with some knowledge.
Player’s measurements have been updated on the AFL app, and nowhere else as of yet. Thought I’d post this because a lot of people were referencing incorrect measurements last year. Which I can only assume is because the AFC website is 2 years out of date for some reason.
Here is a bunch of our younger/inexperienced players who are a notable difference from last year.

Few thoughts:
Few anomalies like players losing height and or weight probably just explained by error and natural variation.
Good to see most of our young inside mids bulking up. Really gives players like Hately, Keays, and O’Connor a point of difference from Sloane, crouch, laird. Hopefully allows Jones to be more competitive in the contest.
I suspected Hately’s weight of 83kg was wrong last year because there’s no way he put on 8kg over the off-season.
Very happy all of our young KPD’s have stacked on the muscle. We need them to be more competitive this year. Wasn’t sure Butts had it in him given how skinny he was when drafted. I’m bullish on him personally.
Hamill put on some good weight.
Sholl’s and Mchenry’s weight loss seems a little odd. They both look more muscular than last year.
Thilthorpe is huuuuuge
Borlase is an absolute tank
Lachlan Sholl
187cm 82kg
186cm 80kg
-1cm -2kg
Why doesnt the Womens comp publish weights? A great chance to show equality missed, and I want to know who the brusiers are.
Because likely they're on a hiding to nothing. Women spend way too much time justifying whatever weight they sit at, along with the constant pressure to "lose weight" whether they need to or not. Academically I'd love to know, but then every idiot troll would say "fat b*tch LOL", so forget it. If you want to know who the bruisers are, watch the game.
if we want an equality based society where gender et al is not an issue then we have to get over these type of false economies where we think we are doing the right thing by protecting people we think cant look after themselves.
Some gifs from the trial.

That is an inherently misogynistic view imho (dare i say systemic gender discrimination bias), but you are probably right.
Height and weight are important stats in this game, if we want an equality based society where gender et al is not an issue then we have to get over these type of false economies where we think we are doing the right thing by protecting people we think cant look after themselves.
Well I know you are not referring to professional tennis then as women per minute of play at all grand slam events earn far far more than menRighto.
Can we get paid the same as men?
No.
Can we stop being killed at the rate of about 1 per week because of domestic violence?
No.
Can you stop sexually assaulting us, or even raping us in the securest building in Australia?
No.
Well, for fu**'s sake, is there anything you plan to do?
Yes, we're going to tell everyone how much you weigh. Then we'll be equal!

Not sure the hostility is warranted.
Not sure the hostility is warranted. Plenty to unpack here but i cant see that being constructive.
The fact the suggestion that the semi professional, top tier players in the W-AFL should have their weights listed in the contact sport of Aussie Rules triggers such a reaction suggest a mirror is in order.
I wouldn't say this is a false economy at all. It's very well documented that this happens and this affects people i.e. from five days ago, it came up again: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/ex-tennis-star-jelena-dokic-fires-back-at-body-shaming-trolls.
Whilst it would be nice from an academic point of view, it is just going to lead to bullying at this point in time, and for no genuine gain whatsoever.
you were blanket generic - how dare I provide a legitimate example of top end professional sport where women DO earn more than menLet's see... there are 7.5B people in the world so probably 3.7B women, and let's say 1,000 professional female tennis players.
I'm glad you agree it would be silly of me to concern myself with the 1/3,750,000 woman who get paid well for what they do.
There are multitudes of examples of negativity/bullying/trolling on any topic. Further giving those views air time is exactly what we shouldnt do if we ever want to stop it. Some people are actually <insert here>ists, some are troll junkies, and that is never, ever going to change. What can change is how the reasonable people choose to treat this, fwiw personally i think ignoring (not censoring or piling on) is usually the best way, and arguing and counterarguing about minor issues is never going to achieve anything positive.
All that said I restate again i think your take is right, and its a shame. The weights should be published and it shouldnt raise an eyebrow anywhere, and if it does those eyebrows can be ignored.
Why? Have you never looked at height/weight stats for male players?
