It looks to me that both, the photographer & the editor are tossers ! There's nothing feminine about it, it's just a bogan-tosser-raw drooling image.

I wonder what the Sultan of Brunei would think of bogan females playing football with their crotches pointing skyward. In the last couple of days that gentleman has decided to have homosexuals stoned to death, and the hands of thieves lopped off. As far as I know women are not even allowed to be spectators at sporting events in Islamic countries.
Islam's old men seem to tightening up on their societies, while the the West's dirty old men are encouraging indecorous behaviour in their women. Posted by ttbn, Saturday, 30 March 2019 4:26:10 PM

I'm sure Islamic countries have their fair share of dirty old men. Be grateful that Australian women can go to school and play sport without a group of old farts moralising about the appropriateness of their behaviour.

Ttbn,
Are you suggesting that some of the wowsers on this site have views equivalent to those of the Shari'a-promoters of Brunei ? I wonder of some of you old farts, to use Fester's admirably correct term, have every watched men's AFL and thought anything equivalent in relation to the clothing worn in women's AFL ? If so, do you notice that your better half also loves AFL and sucks in her breath at odd moments ? So ...... women shouldn't play at AFL ? Rugby ? Beachball ? Gymnastics ? Swimming ? Athletics ? Any sport at all ? Because you might see their crotch ? And let's not mention weight-lifting :) So how's Brunei this time of year, fellas ? Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Saturday, 30 March 2019 5:11:17 PM

There's men's AFL photos available on the web
that say everything about the trolling of Tayla Harris. She is obviously an immensely talented sportswoman and her photo is that of an iconic AFL stance - in the middle of her work. An amazing photo. Just as amazing as those of the guys in exactly the same poses. Look them up. Here's just one example: http://www.mamamia.com.au/tayla-harris-photo-comments/ Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 30 March 2019 6:21:55 PM

And as for Fester. Every society on planet earth has standards for female modesty. Your position is that since Australia has a very liberal view of female modesty, and the Taliban has a very strict view of female modesty, then both societies are equivalent.
Only a lefty could poses a logic circuit so damaged that they could think that way.
If you don't want he boys to perv at you girls, put some clothes on. From my perspective on that female footballer, I think she goes commando. Better put some knickers on, girl, if you are going to kick your legs up high in skin tight short shorts
