Universal Love Hawks win the 2024 McClelland Trophy!

Top work girls! Go on with it!

Can't fathom why Brisbane and its fans are getting in a tizz. Had my team just won is first flag in 20 years in such a dominant performance I dont think anything would give me the hump.

Amazing result and massive improvements by both teams and enjoy watching every minute. That said to suggest we are close to North is way off. Let’s not get carried away we win 10 games where 8 of them are non finalists sides 9-11 and 13-18 (excluding 15th swans) on the ladder. Arguably our second best game was the crows loss (freo gutsy win stands out).
Winning any final would be fantastic and a huge accomplishment and it’s a massive platform for 2025 like the men.

Making a PF would be awesome.

Our draw has enabled us to finish second and get a double chance, but you can only play the teams you’re drawn to play.

Fact is we have beaten Richmond and Fremantle, who both made finals.

The Adelaide loss was back in Rd 3, and as a group we have improved significantly since then.

I feel we are deservedly getting a double chance as our form and output is similar to Adelaide and Brisbane.

We may not be favoured to beat either of those teams in the heat of finals, but I wouldn’t count us out.

The Adelaide loss was the equivalent to the Port loss for the men. The team took a lot out of that loss and how they needed to improve.

Hawks will out last any team, but can’t be blown away early

I’m not saying we don’t deserve to finish top 4. I was very specific responding to the claim we aren’t far behind north. We have every chance to beat Brisbane they aren’t that good. We would be a good chance against the crows we only got blown away in 1 quarter the other 3 we were even. We aren’t at norths level but as a club in their 3rd year who finished low down who would have imagined we would even have this conversation.

This is very true.
We haven't really been blown away in any game a part from Adelaide, but our first half's have generally been pretty poor.

Seeing the salt from all the oppo camps about this is simply....

Welcome to Queensland, set your watch back an hour and your mind back 40 years.

Who turns their watches back?

I think there is a stack of extra prize money for winning the McClelland Trophy and it is a form of Silverware so I guess there's that

When hawthorn benefits - it needs to change
When anyone else benefits (Melbourne last yr as an example) - well done!
