It's exactly 2 hours since the game started now and it's been over for like 10-15 minutes already.

Really needs to be longer

And back to the Final Four doco on 7plus

Strong win in the end. Hawks really applied a lot of pressure for a lot of the night.
Great to see Nanscawen play well in her return game.

 

[the PILL]

Awesome... Good manic win. Like many Maddy is my favourite (can seriously football) but I've also taken a bit of a liking to DB3

 

[TheGrizz]

Never lost an AFLW game vs the Hawkes.

Be still my beating heart.

I was out so I only saw the last quarter…hoping I can catch up on 7+ like we could last year.
What I did see was awesome!! Love how hard they go at it, Boonie Toogood was doing some great work down back, Nanscawen will become a fan favourite very quickly (I grew up loving TD and Hirdy so it is good to see a jet in the #5 again).
So glad we have an AFLW side.

If anyone's interested, Georgia Nanscawen has a cousin coming through for 2025.

His name: Ollie Greeves.

That team were harder at it and more desperate for the contest than the men's team.

Maybe the mens team would work harder if they were paid max 80k per year

Great game by a team of passionate players who give their all and love being out there to represent the red and black. Very inspiring. They play an engaging hard slog game and a constant high work rate by all that any can see and feel the real energy brought into the game. They have set the standard expected for this club.

Hawks where pretty decent too . 100 plus tackles

 

[mcgrath_truther]

caught the last quarter, we looked good!

i felt like they worked much harder yesterday than we did for the last 3 weeks or so of the season

Well, when you can't get hold of the ball, there's not much else to do I suppose

You can stand around like the mens team

 

[Ati Tude]

Have to say that I really like the way the team goes about it. Love Scott (32) and DB(3) in particular. Tough as nails. Maddy is of course great and Toogood is well, yes you know. And I particularly enjoy that Van de Heuval (27) plays just like Redman. It feels wrong to call her Red Dog or Van Dog though so will have to stick with Vander. They should have given her 18.
