Ladies and gentlemen, we have snow at UNSW Canberra Oval! This I believe is the first time it's ever snowed in an AFL premiership match! #historymade #AFLGiantsHawks #AFL #7AFL

Training at Artic Park all these years prepared the Hawks nicely for snowy conditions. Fixture request to host games at Mt Bulla in 2020? #AFLGiantsHawks

— Sam Landsberger (@SamLandsberger) August 9, 2019

Alistair Clarkson is an absolute genius. #aflgiantshawks

A South Sudanese kid born in an Ethiopian refugee camp comes to Victoria and plays his first game in the snow in Canberra. How good. #AFLGiantsHawks

— edwyatt (@edwyatt) August 9, 2019

A completely dominant team performance from the boys, adapted and played to the conditions very well. Endeavour is probably the word that sums it up. Sicily, Worpel, Wingard & Smith were red hot all night Happy with the win, I love this club a whole lot #AFLGiantsHawks
