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.

WWRD

What Would Roos Do?

The answer is No Way!


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?

What about a re-incarnated David Schwartz?

small farms in Collingwood too

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. 

Does this really need a new thread to the Tom Hawkins thread?

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

My bad didn't know there was already a thread, thanks someone for fixing that.

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

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
