Not All Clubs

"You can't say anything anymore!"   TW: Content warning: This episode includes discussions of abusive language, discrimination, and other sensitive topics that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised.  In Episode 9 of Not All Clubs – Not All Slurs , we're talking about the language that still exists across community sport and why "it's just...

In episode 7 of Not All Clubs – Not All Events, we’re talking about the club events that are meant to bring everyone together, but often end up doing the opposite. From scheduling clashes and expensive ticket prices to feeling overlooked or like an afterthought, these experiences highlight the challenges that can arise when club events aren't planned with everyone in mind, particularly women’...

In our second bonus episode of Not All Clubs - Not All Clubs are Safe, we’re talking about accountability in community sport, and the everyday behaviours that continue to make sporting spaces unsafe for women and gender-diverse people. Joined by Dr Samantha Marshall from the Reducing Gender-based Violence Research Group (ReGEN) At Latrobe University’s Safer Sport team, we unpack why gender-based v...

In this bonus episode of Not All Clubs, Not All Wedgies , we’re talking about community sport and the standard that is seen as acceptable, not only at Kyenton but in footy clubs across Australia. The club didn’t fracture overnight. It was a slow build - death by a thousand cuts. Small slights. Uneven expectations. Decisions made without engagement, questions falling on deaf ears. And the steady se...

In this episode of Not All Clubs, Not All Special Rounds , we’re talking about inclusion - or at least the vestige of something that once resembled it. TW: Suicide is discussed in this episode and there is coarse language throughout. ANZAC, Pride, First Nations… these rounds are meant to honour connection, community, and respect. But too often, they end up feeling like a photo op where those very...

Welcome to Episode 4 of Not All Cubs – Not All Uniforms.   This time, we’re talking uniforms. The ones that don’t fit, show up halfway through the season, or clearly weren’t made with everyone in mind. Jumpers that ride up, shorts that don’t sit right, “unisex” cuts that are just men’s sizes with a new label. Meanwhile, the men’s teams have home, away, and heritage kits sorted — all fitting like a...

In this episode of Not All Clubs, Not All Fixtures , we’re calling out the chaos that is the fixture — and how it keeps women’s teams at the bottom of the priority pile.  Games are moved last-minute. Schedules clash with major events. Fixtures change week to week with no explanation. And somehow, women's teams are always the ones who have to adapt.  We talk about what it feels like when your...

In this episode of Not All Clubs, Not All Player Payments, we’re talking money. Or more accurately — who gets it, and who gets left chasing hand-me-downs. While A-grade men get paid, juniors, women, and lower-grade teams scrape by. Is it about performance, tradition, or just plain old bias? We share your stories, side-eye the usual excuses, and ask what it really says when clubs prioritise envelop...

Join the Not All Clubs team for our pilot episode, Not All Oval Space, as we share your stories and discuss the ongoing issues of greenspace at Community Clubs. Are you training in the dark? Shipped off to a second oval across town? Do you get shunted over to the cricket nets whenever the men want the full oval? We also look at potential responses from the club around the cries of 'the men ha...
