Very good effort - Erone is an incredible player and Abbey McKay is just so smart, she shows footy smarts every game.

The conditions didn’t help but it was still an entertaining game. I think that we found it hard to adapt our style of play to the conditions and that created opportunities for Hawthorn … and they seemed to get more than their fair share of luck.

Both defences were on top but ours had to work a lot harder … in part because we struggled to get the pill past the centre.

A good win in the end with lots of even contributions. I thought that Erone, Abbie and Keeley were our best and with Harriet marshalling the defence. And, speaking of defence, Bucky must be thankful that he’s got Poppy to throw behind the ball.

Fairly impressive that we kick 3 goals into the tide in the first quarter.
Second quarter wasn't quite as impressive. Keeping them to 4 points in the last was pretty good.

Jess Good did most of the ruck tonight, which was interesting, but she did it pretty well. Bella's ruck work ... it shows how important a ruck can be.
