AFLW 2026 Rd 8 Carlton vs Hawthorn at home

A Thursday night game at home. :( I hate Thursday night footy.
Hawthorn are 9th, we're 6th.

There is wisdom in those words.

As I grow older, I hate anything not Saturday or Sunday, the weekend is greatly diminished and there is less to look forward to.

No wonder the USA society is full of bitterness and hate, each day blends into another, nothing is reserved or special!

For me, footy takes priority on the weekend. I try and fit my social life (as limited as it may be) and kids sports around who is playing and when.
So to get something like that 'out of the way' before the weekend is a blessing for me. It frees up time that i can do something else instead.
Since footy season finished (and kids soccer) i've managed to play golf twice and go to the driving range twice. Previously, it'd be 3 years combined before i could reach that same total.

The AFLW is a quicker version of footy and is able to fit in better.....also less likely chance of spoilers if i can't watch it live.

So i've got no problem with Thursday night footy (unless i wanna go to it) and Sunday/Monday night footy etc.
I'd prefer our away games to always be on at that time.

Amelia Velardo out "managed" is a big call.  Her reliability in defence has been a big factor so far this season and I hope we're not taking the Hawks too lightly.
