AFLW - Round 11 vs Hawf @ Windy Hill 3pm Saturday 25 October 2025

I’m not putting in all the [sic]s…

If you want the season from hell than Essendon is your team where they have managed to slide down the ladder after every round.

Round 1 - 2nd, 293%
Round 2 - 4th, 210%
Round 3 - 4th, 191%
Round 4 - 7th, 131%
Round 5 - 8th, 96%
Round 6 - 11th, 78%
Round 7 - 11th, 74%
Round 8 - 12th, 72%
Round 9 - 14th, 63%
Round 10 - 14th, 60%

It’s no question injuries ruined they’re season with the 2nd highest number of players missing at the moment (8), 1 behind St Kilda (9) but a league high 7 missing for the rest of the season, and had been the case for a month now.

The Bombers have an injury depeeted Hawks up this week at Windy Hill and then Sydney in Coffs Harbour so I would love to see them go all-out in the Hawks game, who were exposed last week v Port who took it to them at clearance without a 1st sting ruck which then put their defense under a huge amount of pressure to the tune of 94pts allowed (48pts the season high points allowed for the season before this game) and a history high for their AFLW team.

The Bombers will have a huge ruck advantage in Hales, they should have the midfield advantage with Prespakis, Nanscawen and Cain so hopefully they don’t stack the back line with extra’s like they have been and free the offense.

Do us proud ladies. Fark Hawthorn.

Adams to be forward, Dyke mid?

If you’re the hawthorn women, you’re definitely sledging about Merrett disrupting goal kicking practice.

NOpe, Dyke back. Gee mid. And Adams exists!

Nanscawen has no head, Hawf goal.

Brilliant play! Welcome back Maggie.

Best team: Essendon

Second-best team: the umps

8-8

Tackle “high” after the play results in the ball being moved 50m. Classic.

Busch has seriously improved this season. Very good kicking.

Kept missing, but that might be the first time since round one we (and particularly our forward line) have looked dangerous.

Disposals 88-62, hitouts and clearances 7-3

Absolute open-season when it comes to marking contests, Hawthorn getting away with a lot.

Finally called — twice — for pushes during marking contests.
