Special scenes at Monash Children’s Hospital this AFLW finals season! The girls at Hawthorn Football Club AFLW dropped in to spend some time with our very special patients and share their love for footy.

Hawks Greta Bodey, Najwa Allen, Daisy Flockart, Lavinia Cox, Grace Baba and Sophie Butterworth visited us at Monash Children’s Hospital, gifting Hawks merchandise, signing autographs and lifting spirits.

Monash Children’s Hospital’s very own resident Hawk and Lagoon Ward Clerk, Hayden Auber, hosted the players’ visit alongside the Monash Health Foundation, recently returning from his own championship win!  Hayden proudly represents the Hawthorn Football Club Wheelchair AFL team and played in the recent AFL Open, where he helped lead Victoria to a Grand final win. His standout performance earned him best on ground and selection in the 2025 All Australian Team. 

Visits like this are so special to our patients, their families and staff.  A big thank you to Hawthorn Football Club, for helping create these special moments.
