    Negotiation tactics. He’ll sign an extension with the cats.

    I could see Hawkins doing a Buddy and rarely training.

    At the right price a one year deal is not that silly.

    I don't think we'll get anything out of TMac and probably little out of BBB

    Jordan Lewis joining us from the hawks is just as strange as this…

    Surely couldn’t happen.
    The scuttlebutt in 2022 was that he was playing on very little money.  Must be be a matter of length.

    You wouldn't see TH getting front-end loaded by "footy acts" either. As Walt said in Breaking Bad, "I am the danger".

    I love the idea of signing him for 1 year with a clause for a second.  Pay him 500 a year which is less than Grundy.  We dont need that $$ atm but when his contract is up will fall perfectly with re-signing Petty/JVR

    Please no.

    You want a player who's desperate and motivated to play in a succesful side, and hopefully play in a premiership team, aka Ben Brown. If Hawkins is holding out for more money, then we'll be just be topping up his super.

    Pushes the defender in the back in almost every marking contest and gets away with it, has done for years. He is the reason May did his hamstring in 2021 and almost missed the GF. Makes me cringe every time I see him playing.  Geelong, please sign him up ASAP!

    Could be awkward. Pretty sure I've heard Max say at a function that Hawkins is his wife's hall pass.😬

    Let him retire to mowing his lawn with the John Deere...

    That's OK; he wouldn't at Melbourne.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
