AFLW Round 1 Vs Brisbane, Brighton Homes Arena, Ipswich, Sunday 17 Aug 2025, 12:40 PM


Our AFLW season begins up north when they taking on 2024 runners up and two time champs the Brisbane Lions.
 
Looking forward to the season finally starting. Going to be hard against the Lions, especially with no Mack and Richo.

I'm not sure Hawks will win but need to get close if they want to take the next step and prove they're a solid finals side.

Allen and Cox making their first games for the club. Good to see.

Roberts laid down the gauntlet last night to Flem. On to Jaz now to prove she's the best player from their draft, reckon she's in for a big season in the mids.

Playing out like the qualifying final. We are dominating most of the play, whilst Brisbane are taking the sporadic chances they get

Dakota Davidson is the Tom Hawkins of the AFLW. Absolute bully who loves to sulk when something doesnt go her way. A flopper of the highest order too
 
Absolutely have to take chances when they have momentum and forward territory like that. Promising start though, have to do that across the next three quarters.
 
Some pretty poor skill errors this quarter where we should have been out. Need to clean that up otherwise we will get hurt on the turnover.
 
Good quarter where our defence held up fantastically. Second half of that quarter we were much cleaner going forward and looked dangerous.

Also looks to be a wind going to the right of screen a bit which makes that quarter even better.

Got to be very happy with that half. Game could go either way but for the first game of season and away in Brissy, exactly what we want to see so far.

They did it! Go Hawks!!!

Felt like they forgot how to play in the fourth. Brisbane should never have been in it if they were more clinical.

Still, take away wins and first against Brisbane however you can. Great start to the season.
 
Lion (14) - what a sore loser 🤣
Yeah pointing the finger and reluctantly shanking hands.. She's also mentioned up this thread as being a sook and a bully..

Is Aileen Gilroy not playing this season? she's a standout, I love watching her long rangy kicks. Hope she's still on our list.

Good away win to start the season..
