Tom Hawkins

[DEELIGHTED 16]

With Vardy now looking the goods at the Catters and Tomahawk apparently on the outer I think we should be looking to trade for him, big body forward and has talent!!! Thoughts??

[Range Rover 1,935]

No from me. Just a big list clogging spud without the requisite athleticism.

[pitchfork 181]

The guy has not improved since he was 16 and dominating APS hacks. No

Yep.

I can remember big name "saviours" coming in from outside - going back to Diamond Jim Tilbrook, Big Carl, Peter Moore, Templeton.

None gave us the results that Swooper gave us. I think there <is> something to this "Culture" thread that's been going on here...

Totally agree. He's playing like a spud but he isn't one. The problem is his confidence is shot.

Maybe he'll feel more comfortable in a team whose confidence is totally shot?!!

The easiest, yet hardest thing that Tom Hawkins needs to do is get out of Geelong, the city and the footy club. He'll always draw comparisons and has played with unrealistic expectations and pressure since he was 17. A big, imposing body who can really take a grab but needs to be left in the square. Yes, for mine.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

I have real doubts over a forward that could not make an impact in a Premiership side with a midfield made up of Ablett, Bartel, Kelly, Chapman, Ling, Corey, Enright and Selwood.

If he has found it hard at Geelong, he aint going to find it easier at MFC.Father/Son great white hope that has come with big accolades but delivers little. A Kozi in vertical stripes.

I would not sweat our talent in the draft to get him.

[Striker475 696]

Overrated. Expects everyone to play around him because of his father's name and doesn't work.

No way.

[deeflog 679]

living of the name his dad made for him......no thanks

[Guest Thomo]

Don't rate him very high, but would be happy to take a punt for a third round pick, or Newton.

[Sir Why You Little 34,858]

very much over rated so far, would only want him with a 3rd round pick at best, if that.

[monoccular 16,391]

If his problem is, as suggested by Cat mates, lack of consistency and lack of commitment, we don't need him.

[P-man 13,277]

Dear god no. Doesn't have the athleticism required of a modern day forward and provides no versatility outside of being plonked in the goal square. Should be aiming alot higher than the Tomahawk imo.

No thanks. We have better options than the Tomahawk already.

. A Kozi in vertical stripes.

Rhino, I think that the Cats stripes are horizontal.

[Deeoldfart 7,820]

No thanks. Can't even cut it with the Cat's mids and HBs delivering it forward.

I rekon worth a look if the price is right. But Geelong wouldn't trade if yet either, bc despite his developed body he might be a late bloomer (like so many) and geelong have put too much development in to ship him off for nothing.

I think we're underrating opposition players a bit here. At the very least hawkins always draws a defender and occassionally can bust up a pack, something that can't be said for all of our forwards..

[DEELIGHTED 16]

i certainly dont want to get rid of any early pick but well and truly like the idea of a 3rd rnd pick, doubtful if we could get him for that.

[old dee 22,982]

Why are we talking about this guy.

He is very ordinary.

[Supermercado 2,646]

If he was free maybe. Wouldn't give a third round pick for him otherwise.

This thread needs more:

[loges 6,232]

LOL never ceases to amaze me how players that can get games in teams much better than ours are spuds, hopeless,hacks etc.Of course he'd be worth looking at, who are our big bodied forwards?

[Doggo 32]

I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up at GWS next year.

I thought the Cats were carrying him despite his poor form and eventually decided they couldn't wait for him to start playing good footy and dropped him.
