Hawthorn Football Club has achieved an incredible milestone in its AFLW journey, with 5,427 members signing up in the team’s inaugural season.
The tally saw the Hawks rank fifth in the Season 7 AFLW club membership ladder, a remarkable feat after just one season.
5000 members had already joined the Hawks following their inaugural AFLW game before a further 427 signatures were gained ahead of yesterday's cut-off date.
Hawthorn CEO Justin Reeves was blown away by the support of the club’s inaugural AFLW members.
“We are extremely grateful to be sharing this significant milestone with our dedicated AFLW members,” Reeves said.
“As a club, we are incredibly proud of this achievement. We can’t thank our members enough for coming on the journey with us in our inaugural and historic AFLW season.
“Clubs are nothing without their members and we know each and every one of them contributes greatly to our success both on and off the field.”
The AFL also announced that the league overall had achieved a new all-time AFLW club membership record of 75,568 AFLW members.
The Season 7 total smashed the record of 48,712 that was set for Season 6, and is a 55 per cent growth season on season.
Since Season 5 (2021) the industry has seen 193 per cent growth in AFLW Membership sales (25,782 AFLW Members in Season Five).
