  • Résumé

  • Chances are, when you were growing up, the idea of becoming a professional female footballer or even a female footy umpire for men’s games… was simply impossible.

    But NOW, it is. And that’s awesome. However it’s throwing up a few issues; such as how can women achieve pay parity with the men? How can we ensure women are safe playing the game (acknowledging that women’s bodies are different to men’s bodies)?

    In this episode we meet two passionate pioneers of women’s footy. Yes, we cover both AFL and NRL (whatever ‘footy’ means to you!):

    • Tara McGrath-West - NRLW player - a ‘workhorse’ middle forward for the St George Illawarra Dragons. Originally from Harden, NSW
    • Bec Malseed - one of the only female umpires for AFL Victoria men's games (she umpires for women too!), based in Hamilton, VIC.

    These women don’t shy away from the hard questions around getting their professions the recognition and remuneration they deserve.

    EPISODE SPONSOR: Squadron Energy - Australian owned renewable energy company that develops, operates and owns energy assets for local communities. Squadron Energy is also the Major Partner of the Dragons’ NRL and NRLW teams.
