Yesterday, I had the enormous privilege to witness the three quarter time huddle of the Hillside women’s senior football team in a match against Aberfeldie.
Hillside had gone into the match undefeated and Aberfeldie were second on the ladder with two losses. At halftime it was a point the difference but Aberfeldie completely outclassed Hillside in the third quarter to go five goals ahead.
The determination of Hillside to fight back reflected in the fierce raw of their voices in that huddle was the most passionate sound I have ever heard from a group of footballers.
Previously it has been my contention that women’s footy is not as ferocious as men’s footy.
I stand corrected Hillside.
You dominated the first half of the final quarter.
With raw passion you clawed back two goals of the deficit.
Then a violent incident might have effected the result. Maybe not.
True athleticism is always beautiful.
Hillside and Aberfeldie will meet again this year and in my eyes are favorites to play in the grand final for this year’s premiership. What a prospect.
Women’s footy:
Magnificent!

Third times a charm?
First time I seen the words ‘beautiful’ and ‘ferocious’ and ‘passion’ used all together in a sentence.
Are these women mostly lesbos like the WNBA?
Consult the Hot/Crazy Matrix before acting on any impulse.
Well, I will give them this: I didn’t see any dudes on the field pretending to be something they aren’t.
The officials probably give all the players the old Crocodile Dundee check before letting them on the field.
This rugby, not that euro-weenie/3rd world soccer thing?
