AFLW: THE AFL has confirmed a first ever night Grand Final for this year's AFLW decider.

Hawthorn star Tilly Lucas-Rodd says the Hawks have no qualms about a relatively unknown venue and opposition as they prepare for their qualifying final against Brisbane on Sunday.

Hawthorn and Brisbane did not meet during the AFLW home-and-away season, with the Lions claiming both encounters in the Hawks’ first two seasons. Picture: Darrian Traynor / Getty ImagesThe Hawks only played three other top-eight sides as they shot to second with a 10-1 record, but Lucas-Rodd was confident their style of play would match the other top contenders.

“We’re confident in our brand. We know if we play our best footy, it’s good enough to match it with anyone. “We talk about making the ground really big – we have lots of good runners in our team and really good ball users,” Lucas-Rodd said.“I think you saw that when we played at GMHBA in Geelong – we played a really nice brand on that ground because of the size of it, so I think hopefully we can do the same on the weekend.”
