Hawthorn AFLW! WE NOW HAVE A TEAM!

So we actually have a AFLW team

 

[Mitchell Madness]

4 new women's teams into the AFLW. With 4 new teams coming in, why was the draft held a month ago?
Are we and the other 3 new teams immediately at a disadvantage?

The new teams come in the 22/23 season, not the 21/22

That draft was for the 2021-22 season clubs. I don’t Hawthorn comes in until the following 2022-23 season. I may be quite wrong, though.

I realised that and then deleted the question.

Bec Goddard officially coach of our AFLW side.
Thats awesome news.

Put hawks on the tv or kayo or stream and I will tune in! Excited to watch and Great for the club

 

[Billyc]

Great news. I haven’t been able to invest in the AFLW without a hawks side.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Anyone know of any current AFLW players who support Hawthorn?

Not many are jumping to mind, but Rosie Dillon is an easy one.

A Rosie result

Tuesday afternoon Rosie Dillon’s lifelong dream of playing AFLW finally came to fruition.

If I'm correctly detecting the motivation for your question, it might be worth pointing out some other connections, such as: Rebecca Beeson (very underrated GWS midfielder) has played a couple VFLW seasons with Hawthorn; or Lucy McEvoy (currently at Carlton, one of the best young talents around) has a cousin who is kind of a big deal at the Hawks.

My household very excited today - especially the women.

Can’t wait for our first game - does anyone know when that will be (approx)?

Late November/early December 2022.

Thoughts on Goddard as a coach? (other than it's awesome to have a woman coaching in the women's league!)
Hawks VFLW struggled to put wins on the board all year with a team stacked with AFLW players in 2021.

Great news. I haven’t been able to invest in the AFLW without a hawks side.

I am the same but now I will have a genuine interest.

Mods, can we get a sub forum for this great and mighty team as we have for box hill?

Great idea. Over time, this will be big. And perhaps bring a new audience to AFL and BigFooty.

 

[RustyHawk]

This is great news. Hawks should have been given a license years ago.

One thing for the mods to consider.

Maybe this a good place to open up the unused HAWK EYE sub forum for all things Hawthorn AFLW. Deserving of their own space and place. Just an idea.

Hey guys. Congrats on the result last week. Welcome to AFLW!! Just wondering, where are you planning on playing your games? I know there is the Dingley venture but has construction started there yet? If it hasn't is there a plan for a venue until then? Box Hill City Oval I'm pretty sure hosts cricket so that is probably unlikely to be used. Waverley Park doesn't hold enough due to the residential developments around the ground.

No doubt we will find out in due course.

Great news. Another team to add to the premiership cabinet at the top level. Go Hawks!
