It is remiss that more women in sport haven't been acknowledged. So who should be?
There are plenty of women who should be recognised before the AFLW premiership players - although, there's no doubt that Erin Phillips will/should be honoured at some point.
How about Lisa Ondieki, Glynnis Nunn, at a pinch Anna Meares? Pat Mickan, Jenny Williams? Sandy Pisani? Karen Rolton, Shelley Nitchske, Lynette Fulton? Our equestriennes? Rachel Sporn?
These are names that should be considered. Honours generally come after playing careers and these ladies are SA household names.
I'm sure there are countless administrators who could be considered as well.
A monument/monuments outside the ground shouldn't be about the contribution or involvement at AO, it should be about sport - AO is our sporting HQ.
Aren't a lot of these girls included in the honourboards on back of the bradman stand?
And I'm fairly sure the lawns in the south-western corner are the Fulton lawns aren't they?
