I'll be surprised if we don't get Lynch, Hawkins or someone of their ilk.

    Hawkins has been a great player and despite all the don't like hims on here is probably a good bloke.

    Never met him so wouldn't know...

    Anyway, I think he's shot.

    Do we really want to carry Tmac, BBB and Tommy Hawkins on the list.

    He is a very very nice guy off the field. So is his wife Emma. 
    I honestly think if he doesn’t come to terms with Geelong he will retire.

    The guy deserves respect if only for punching Gary Rohan in the mush (allegedly) during the Queensland hub.

    Couldn't give a rats.. not looking for a friend 😉

    Why is that even a footy consideration ....

    As previous... hope he enjoys mowing....or local theatre perhaps... he has a penchant for acting !!!

    I had said in another thread that there is just no way this guy plays anywhere else but the fact he happily told Josh Jenkins - who he knew would share it on radio - there was issues/deadlock in negotiations suggests to me he is either trying to force Geelong’s hand or soften the impact for Cats supporters if he were to leave. I hope the latter - we would be a better side with him in it next year.

    Worst case we are driving up his price and hurting Geelong’s salary cap.

    Yep agree - was about to post similar.

    The fact he told Josh Jenkins and obviously told Jenkins it was ok to report on, tells me that this is his way of trying to push Geelong to give him the extra year he wants. Geelong have offered one year, Jethro wants two.

    I don’t want him on the field. 
     

    Would love him to mentor JVR in some capacity though.

    Would he be worth a 1 or 2 year deal if in "a purely football act" his elbow were to somehow connect with the eye socket of Maynard the next time he lined up on him?

    Would we want him? Is this preposterous? I feel like something would be wrong in the world if you saw him in anything other than a Geelong jumper…but what if???

    If he left which I dont think he will, its wouldn't be a "silly"  thought. But it would be if we gave up a first rounder. Has to be a pick in the late 20's or early 30's to have my interest. Geelomg would never let him walk anyway.

    Absolutely can see this happening. 

    Hawkins, T Mac, Ben Brown in the same fwd line

    we’d run out of strapping and tape by round 3

    He'd be handy, wouldn't he? I think Petty has the capacity to play a similar role for us. He's not as quick or as agile as pre knee Ox, but great hands, great kick, good footy mind, and has good forward craft.

    I love it 

    get 3 walking frames and ramps put in at Casey fields. If BBB and Tmcd went, then you could ramp up interest in Hawkins but I’m not buying right now.

    Next year will be his 18th season.

    He has kicked more than 60 goals 4 times. (only twice in the past 9 years)

    He would want $750k for a one year contract 

    Pass from me, He's not the messiah

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
