Frankston a ‘fortress’ for Hawks HAWTHORN Football Club will play four AFLW games at Frankston’s Kinetic Stadium this season. The Hawks will get their season up and running in Frankston on 2 September. They will host Essendon under lights. Hawthorn FC acting CEO Ash Klein said that the club was looking forward to returning to Frankston in 2023. “Our 2023 AFLW fixture is a
big win for our brown and gold family,” Klein said. “Frankston became a bit of a fortress for us last season and we hope to continue that trend with four games there in Rounds 1, 4, 5 and 9 this season. “We’re also delighted to have our fixture bookended by blockbuster clashes against traditional rivals Essendon in Round 1 and Geelong in Round 10. We know the Hawks community are right behind this
team and we can’t wait to see them pack the stands from September 2.” Kinetic Stadium hosts the following games: • Hawthorn vs Essendon 7.15pm on 2 September • Hawthorn vs Melbourne 5.05pm on 22 September • Hawthorn vs Brisbane 3.05pm on 1 October • Hawthorn vs Port Adelaide 5.05pm on 29 October
