The game is very political these days. It was yet another chance to promote the womens' league. It has become way too obvious over the past few years that the AFL sets the agenda of the media.

Like another poster, I understand Erin Phillips has been a top female sports person over the years and has a story to tell. However, I always thought Open Mike was a show which interviewed former VFL/AFL players and legends, not someone who has played maybe 6 games.

Had the show in the past included current people from other sports, I'd have no problem with Erin Phillips being interviewed.

It's about football stories and she has one to tell (albeit a shorter one, hence her dad appearing). Caro never played, Beau Vernon was only a country league player. The show has never completely been about top level players.

Agree that she is a worthy guess but this is where Mike lets himself down, he barely touched on Erin's basketball career or explored the AFLW league, although there is only so much you can ask in 30 minutes.

He probably could've touched on it a bit further though, from memory Mike Pike's Rugby background was covered readonably well in comparison.

Starburns_' post just highlights the show really should be an hour long.

An hour is a bit much for most though. He could've easily covered basketball more if they skipped over him asking her dad about her coming out. The Burgoyne question amounted to nothing much really too.

Is she currently married to him? I saw an article mention that he was onto his 2nd marriage.

How do you marry a known sex offender and then have a kid with the guy?? :huh:
