Hi. I’m Maddie, daughter, friend, reality TV enthusiast (oh my god, this season of The Bachelorette, right?!), law student and cheeseburger lover.
Oh, and my partner happens to be an elite athlete – he plays AFL. To some, all of the fun facts I just gave you about myself may cancel out and suddenly I’m identified as a WAG.
So what exactly is a WAG? WAG is simply an acronym for Wives and Girlfriends – in theory it seems harmless. However, in practice it appears we’re vilified for the very fact our partners are athletes.
Suddenly we’re held in a different regard and instead of taking us as we are, we’re suddenly part-time models and fashion bloggers gallivanting around drinking skinny cappuccinos attending Pilates classes… of course these are only the activities we partake in to fill the days we’re not off having hair and makeup done by our #glamsquad and donning designer gowns for an endless list of functions where we talk mindless chatter.

Love brownlow night, not for the 'wags' but the count, the years highlights and insights to footy history
Forget the haters, enjoy the night
And as a power fan this hurts, but
Go the doggies in the grand final
Your comment was so good you had to say it twice? ;)
But I agree, the highlights before each round are the best part, especially in a year where we knew from about June who was going to win the award.
I see you do not understand the difference between pre-coffee and post-coffee.
You really need to learn the difference, it might one day save your life.
As a person who does not drink coffee (far too many vices already, no room for another one) I will have to take your advice and look into it.
