Feeling flat while social distancing? Keep yourself entertained in isolation with some of the best footy-related social media accounts.
With all the free time in isolation, youâre bound to spend more time on social media and itâs a great place to get your footy fix in the absence of any games. So here are the best AFLW-related Instagram pages to follow to get you through the footy drought.
For discussions about the 2020 season, follow All In Show (@all.in.show). While not currently posting, you can find six previous episodes of the show on their page which provide a humorous but sophisticated view on the AFLW, hosted by Emma Race and Sam Lane with guest AFLW players.Â
If you prefer statistics and facts from womenâs footy, check out Chewy Boot Video (@chewybootvideo), where youâll find interesting insights into the AFLW presented in a fun format.
Finally, if youâre a fan of their podcast and want to see some behind-the-scenes, or just want to hear a diverse range of reflections into the AFLW, follow The Outer Sanctum (@theoutersanctumpodcast). Theyâre continuing to post through the pandemic, providing plenty of entertainment.
If itâs inspiration for household isolation challenges youâre looking for, youâll love the posts from Adelaideâs co-captain Chelsea Randall (@chelsearandall26) who has been posting fun housemate challenges like hallway dribble kicks and dry Weet-Bix eating competitions with her housemates, fellow Adelaide players Marijana Rajcic and Renee Forth.
If youâre also a foodie, youâll enjoy following Jess Hosking (@jesshosking). You can watch her stories and highlights to see cooking videos for meals like chocolate mousse and dumplings which will make your mouth water.
