AFLW Autopsy Round 6, 2022: Hawthorn vs West Coast, Friday 30 September 6.10pm AEST Skybus Stadium, Frankston

Womens team shows great spirit.

Just puts the mens team to shame!

 

[Mitchell Madness]

That was as loud of a final minute as I've heard at any footy game in some time.
Great effort by the girls.
Mrs got given a footy by one of the girls we've met a few times, so it made it an even better night

The Irish girls are amazing.

You'd be worried if you were an opposition player who just grabbed the ball and Tamara Smith was around.

You'd be worried if you got 4 goals up against the hawksas it's not a match winning lead vs us

Tamara Smith’s effort is always there.
Sometimes clumsy tackling and gives free kick away, but you can feel her presence.

Gilroy is really a good get.
McDonagh should learn a trick or two from her.

 

[spudmaster]

B2B Hawkers!

As ****ed as the last ten days have been, I watched that last quarter with all the passion of the rusted on supporter that I've come to realise that I am.

Love the Hawks winning and love the team that was out there this evening.

If you were there there's about 1k hawks fans in your position. Despite standing underneath the siren speaker, you couldn't hear the siren

I'd love to have been there. I'll be adding my voice when they cross the border to play either of the SA teams.

Not sure byt I think our last round might be the largest comeback in AFLW history and tonight's game third biggest.

Found this online:

The force is strong in this one.

Really enjoying watching the girls and getting to know them. Wales looks exciting, Fleming has something special. Also really like how spirited, down to earth, and supportive they seem to be.

 

[Cyril says]

I was there with the family for the swans win. The team sang the song with genuine joy and the win this week is not a surprise.

Great to see the improvement every week. This is a terrific team we can all be proud of.

GO HAWKS!

Bizarre that this game is being played on a Friday evening at roughly 6.00pm in a location that would be inconvenient for potential spectators to get to in time for the first bounce, especially when there is no men's footy to compete with it. I don't understand why it isn't being played at Box Hill City Oval, at the least.

Maybe pick a city oval for home of AFLW, it is so hard to organise a large group to get to Frankston, what about a few day games so whole family’s can come.

Mornington has a large amount of hawk supporters, so Frankston isn't a bad spot in the short term.
Box Hill, despite being sort of a second home for the hawks, has never really drawn a crowd for any level of footy.

Long term the plan is for AFLW Hawks to play out of Dingley but I hope we play 2 or 3 games in Frankston

 

[grumbleguts]

I know it isn't for this thread, but it is this round, including the 5 goals in succession against us, the swans have now had 11 consecutive goals kicked against them.

They like playing at Frankston because the ground is in such good nick, Box Hill is a hard and slippery ground, doesnt really suit the young lighter Hawks.

Good to see a few of the men down their supporting, CJ, Mitch Lewis, Lachie Bramble and Ned reeves I think. All getting lots of photos with the crowd. Apparently the boys and girls get along really well, one of the few clubs where the men and women's programs are quite integrated, you sometimes see Sam Mitchell helping on the bench. One of the AFLW players said the culture is fantastic and they are just loving playing for the Hawks.

Was on the wrong side of the ground I guess. Didn't see any players, haha.
Yes, the ground is good, but the crowd is better.
Box hill is not a footy area. It's good for getting a few people to wear the grown and gold, but for the most part, they don't care.
Frankston has the rusted ons down the road.
Far better in the short term for promoting the game

I couldn't get down for this one (had a guest staying and dinner etc) but looked like a great atmosphere on television and beautiful environment. Really looking forward to getting there next time.

Fast forward to 14.40. Great little discussion about the Hawks and their 2 wins
