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

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
