Special guest Kel Rowe joins your regularly scheduled Fi as the AFLW season rockets toward finals.

Although women haven’t been making the weekly footy news much – “We’re better behaved” – this episode there’s a big announcement hot off the press!

Fi and Kel devote much of the show to a meticulous review of the Indigenous Round. A contender for Mark of the Year broke out of a sweaty, scrappy game in Gimuy Cairns. The round also saw a rare bench infringement, quirky shifts of mathematical possibility, and Lions befriending the wind. The inaugural Dreamtime Game in Garramilla Darwin prompted some creative ways to keep cool, while the Tiwi Bombers and Darwin Buffaloes put on a stunning curtain raiser. Enjoy the rich meanings behind some of the equally stunning team guernseys and the AFLW Indigenous ball, from players and designers themselves.

In this week’s feature interview, the courageous Tamara Smith reveals how the Hawks have been managing their bodies and mental load. It’s a story of passion and mutual support. But of course Fi also grills Tamara on the complex issues of double headers and seriously what is hokball actually, though…?
