A historic occasion that many won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
See how the Twittersphere viewed Hawthorn’s inaugural AFLW game.
Massive appreciation post to @hawthornaflw players, coming out onto the ground after the game last night - many with ice packs - but huge smiles. Thanks especially @AkecMakur, @AileenGilroy, Tamara Smith and Eliza Shannon for signing my daughter’s footy & having photos with her

Feels like a moment I'll remember forever. Happy tears, right across Marvel Stadium. https://t.co/IFzufuJPGW

That was bloody awesome. Let’s go again next weekend. And then every season forever after that. I am a bit more #always now than I was this morning. 🤎💛 @hawthornaflw

The footy that @hawthornaflw played in the loss to @essendonfcw tonight would have been good enough to win a premiership in @aflwomens Season 1 in 2017.

The game has come on in leaps and bounds and there are many exciting years ahead as that trajectory continues. #AFLWDonsHawks
It was written in the stars that Sophie Locke would kick the Hawks’ first goal in AFLW history. Will be hard pressed to find a better moment all season than that ♥️ #AFLWDonsHawks

Evie got her first taste of wearing a Hawthorn guernsey on the ground at Marvel. Now thanks to @hawthornaflw she has the chance of playing for her favourite team at Marvel one day #alwayshawthorn pic.twitter.com/UnIYjGO3kX

Tough couple of weeks but a wonderful moment.
Tilly Lucas-Rodd & Jas Fleming playing great.
Go Hawks.#AFLWDonsHawks
Hopefully in 11-13 years they’ll be on the other side of the screen…@ChristinaDavini #AFLW #AFLWDonsHawks pic.twitter.com/M2S1nIcXpc

Amazing to be at the @hawthornaflw 1st AFLW game. Loved cheering on the girls. Loved that so many kids in the crowd are already passionate supporters. Loved Sophie Locke kicking our 1st goal, Perko’s goal & Fleming is a star 👊🏾👊 #AFLWDonsHawks

Oh Sophie Locke 😭💛🤎💔 #AFLWDonsHawks

The real exciting thing for me tonight was seeing players who have grown up supporting their clubs playing (or coaching in @BecGoddard22's case) in the colours they love for the first time. The @aflwomens and @AFL are whole. #AlwaysHawthorn #AFLWDonsHawks
