VFLW - Elimination Final vs Hawks @ Box Hill City Oval, 11am Sat 8 July 2023

[theDJR]

2021 ROUND 3

We win for the first time versus the Hawks, 8.7.55 to 3.9.27 (the Hawk’s favourite score).

Elizabeth Snell (now at Footscray AFLW) debuts for us, and starts in the middle. I have to mention Frew starts forward, because everyone knows she’s a mid. And our first goal is Snell2Frew.

It’s a destroyation at The Hangar: at halftime we lead 41-10, before slacking off.

LOL Kate “Dud”ley the Hawk ruck pushes tiny Felicity in the back in the square.

(OK, one centimetre out of the square, gets set on a 45 degree angle.)

Does a tiny chip kick and misses!

Since I wrote the above Felicity Theodore got good, and Dudley… did not.

I am so petty.

@theDJR

Below is an extraordinarily beautiful sequence: Nanscawen tackle, Ugle tackle, Nanscawen tackle, Heil feeds it out to Morcom who kicks long and Frew is on the sprint; takes it with one hand, lays that ball down sideways onto her boot, and slots it through the big sticks.

Surely this is not the first time I summited Bullant Hill?!?

@theDJR

I’ve gone to the hill at the northern wind-favoured end.

After this game we are in the six, for the first time ever. Nanscawen had a casual 29 disposals and 8 tackles, but Nattie Macdonald was deemed BOG with 19 disposals and a score of 2.2
