The Coathanger

Fi and Lozz congratulate the Brisbane Lions on their Season 8 Grand Final win and commiserate with the North Melbourne Kangaroos. They wrap up the final Coathanger show for Season 8 with injury news, signings, delistings, coach of the year awards and acknowledge Mon Conti's Best and Fairest win.

Fi and Lozz review the prelims, acknowledge Nic Livingstone on her announcement that she is stepping down from her role as Head of Women's Football, and highlight the Sydney and NSW wins in the W awards. GWS Giant Zarli Goldsworthy won Rising Star, with Swan Ally Morphett just one point behind. Kellie Nolan won community coach of the year and NSW players were well represented in the All Australian...

Fi and Lozz review the semi finals and applaud the Sydney Swans on their excellent season after bowing out in their match with the Adelaide Crows. Commiserations to the Melbourne Demons who lost to the Geelong Cats despite a 4th quarter charge. They cover coaching changes and potential player movements, and make bold predictions for next week's preliminary finals.

Fi and Lozz celebrate the Swans' win over the Suns, putting them through to the semi finals next week. Lions beat Crows in a fierce battle and Bombers went down in a valiant fight against the Cats. But the big surprise of the first round of finals for Season 8 was the 41 point margin in North Melbourne Kangaroos' win over Melbourne Dees. We congratulate Zali Goldsworthy for her big bag of awards a...

Swans make finals! Congratulations to the Swans who have made finals in their second season, having been winless in their first. Surely the most improved team in Season 10! They play Suns in the first week of finals, which is the first time these 2 teams meet this season! Giants went down to Port Adelaide as we say farewell to champion Erin Phillips. (Come on AFLW! Name that award after her!) Lozz...

The Coathanger team sympathise with Zali Goldsworthy who had to pick herself up off the deck during the Giants match against the Suns and Pepa Randall plays her 50th. Swans win against Collingwood and map a pathway to finals! Lozz gets on her soapbox about accessibility at Henson Park and Kiwi adds her 2 cents about fixturing: More in Sydney please! Finally, Lozz is off the bottom of the tipping c...

Swans and Giants win, with a fantastic result for the Sydney team. Kiwi joins the pod and she and Fi help locate Lozz on the tipping comp ladder. Needless to say, Lozz's mum is going great guns. Lozz reminisces about her childhood spent at Vic park after a return there on the weekend.  Kiwi joins the pod and urges everyone to stick around at Sydney's home of women's football, Henson Park, this Sun...

Coach Donnie Hess, host of Donnie's Disposals, joins Fi to analyse the Round 7 matches for Swans and Giants. A loss for both teams this round. Controversy Corner covers that moment when coaches say the quiet bit out loud and live to regret it. Looking forward to Round 8, Donnie and Fi don't see eye to eye on the Henson Park showdown between Giants and Carlton, but they're on the same page for Swan...

Lozz and Fi discuss The Replacements as a possible solution to the Western Bulldogs woes. Remember: Chicks dig scars, but glory last forever! They hail the great Alyce Parker yet again, and tip the hat to Scott Gowans for taking great players to even greater heights and Lozz the Stats Queen notes that for the first time, Swans and Giants have won their respective matches in the same round. Yet aga...

The Coathanger team is back with a look at the upcoming AFLW preseason.

In our final pod for AFLW Season 7, we are joined by special guest Coach Donnie Hess to review the Grand Final, congratulate Melbourne, and weigh in on the W awards. There are some strong opinions and things get a little out of hand!

Preliminary Finals Time

Second round of finals

We discuss the first round of finals and Kiwi and Lozz interview Richmond's Eilish Sheerin.

We wrap up the season, marvel at the Henson Park attendance figure and we reveal the winner and runners up for our Tipping Comp!

Both Sydney teams went down in Round 9, but there was amazing attendance again at Henson Park! For all that and more tune in to this week’s pod!

We review the Round 8 Swans and Giants matches, cover injuries and tips. Fi and Kiwi joined the banner crew for the Giants.  We give our take on issues with AFLW facilities and share a Swans giveaway

In our Pride Round pod for Season 7 we have a bumper episode for you! We are joined on the show by Darebin Falcons Women's Sports club President Jane Ryan, to explain the club's inclusion policy and the steps they took to rewrite it. And in a Coathanger - nay, an AFLW First - Fi and Loz chat to GWS Giants Katherine Smith and Sydney Swans Lisa Steane about being a footy couple, and why Pride Round...

We chat to AFLW Swan Maddy Collier We also review round 6, report on the GWS Giants first ever win over Carlton at Henson Park and acknowledge the jerk article. We don’t endorse punching down at the Coathanger!

We talk the big results we may not have seen coming from Round 5, applaud the footy festival in Melbourne this weekend just gone and talk about the big month of football at Henson Park coming up. And we review the Giants and Swans games and in the process we will do an overview of the 7 stages of grief, and levels of pain and degrees of devastation.
