Should make mention that in her acceptance speech, Erin Phillips casually thanked her wife, among others. Then pointed out her wife on the table with the rest of the adelaide girls.
LEAPS ahead of the blokes in that regard.

Erin spoke at some length about her family when interviewed by Charlie Pickering. In the following days there was some discussion about how Erin's openness and the apparent ready public acceptance of her situation may make it easier for blokes to come out.

Why the umpiring hate, or at least a lack of love, for Bri Davey?
Often the media awards closely follow the official awards even if there are slight differences, but in this case Davey isn't even close!
Does she sledge the umpires?

The only time Bri was properly stuck in defense was at each center bounce, after that she was pretty much everywhere on the ground!
Head to Head I thought Bri smashed Phillips and the other Adelaide guns.
There is a lot of politically incorrect assertions I could make about potential reasons behind this voting pattern, but I'll just say discrimination is discrimination whether it's labeled positive or negative.

Her major problem is, that she played too consistently well, and needed to have one bad game in order to get the full attention she deserved.
