Frankston abuzz with elite AFLW action

Published on 16 August 2023

The stadium will be abuzz when the mighty Hawks play four epic matches for premiership points.

Hawthorn AFLW Captain Tilly Lucas-Rodd is rapt to call Kinetic Stadium home for the 2023 AFLW season.

“We absolutely loved playing at the venue last season. The scenery was beautiful, the fans were loud and proud and we were able to play some entertaining footy,” Tilly said.

“Kinetic Stadium holds fond memories for a lot of my teammates, as it’s where we secured our second and third AFLW wins, and our first back-to-back victories in our AFLW history.

“The venue also holds a special place in my heart personally as it’s where I played my 50th AFLW game.

“We can’t wait to return to Kinetic Stadium this season for four blockbuster games in Rounds 1, 4, 5, and 9 and we hope to see as many fans as possible at each of our matches.” 

Skye resident and Hawks AFLW player Tahlia Fellows can’t wait for the season to get underway, adding: “I’m really just looking forward to running out with my team. We've worked so hard in this off season and the pre-season.”

Tahlia played football for clubs in Cranbourne and Lyndhurst before joining Casey Demons VFLW and ultimately being picked up by Hawthorn last year.

A Frankston City local, Tahlia is passionate about the place she calls home: “I love going down to PARC, going to the sauna and the steam room and obviously the beautiful Frankston Beach.”

Don’t miss the action when the Hawks battle it out against Essendon (2 September), Melbourne (22 September), the Brisbane Lions (1 October) and Port Adelaide (29 October).
