I've spent the last 3 days seeing some pretty horrific things, but this just about tops it.

    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

    He’s kicked over 60 goals five times two of which have been in the last three years. He’s not going to leave Geelong so doesn’t really matter.

    In all honesty if he was open to coming to Melbourne, which I’m 99% certain he isn’t, it would be a good get for us. We need to go all in before Gawn and May are done. Hawkins will give us the focal point up forward that we’ve been crying out for since 2022.

    At the very least, he’d be a good stepladder for JVR and Petty to jump onto. Maybe even strap padding to his back inside the jumper

    Hawk’s a mate of mine. Sadly he’s just re-signed with Geelong this morning.

    Would’ve been a brilliant get for a couple of twilight seasons. He and his family are moving into their Melbourne pad next year as they’ll be doing renos on their place at Gnarwarre, so logistically would’ve been perfect.

    Can confirm he was getting fairly frustrated at Geelong and if they hadn’t come to the party, he’d have been at Melbourne next year. Club was lurking in the background interested.

    Not questioning your intel but this tweet was 2 mins ago

    But the article says "Melbourne made an 11th hour bid to prise champion spearhead Tom Hawkins out of Geelong.

    But the Herald Sun understands there is no threat of Hawkins leaving the Cattery after 17 seasons, with the final details of his contract to stay at Geelong being thrashed out."

    I don't think he will leave the Cats.

    Would you swap Tom’s for same salary and give Hawkins one more year, in which he could fade out possibly in second year to assistant coaching and mentoring our young key forwards?

    Like him or not he would be great teaching JVR, Jefferson, Fullerton and even Petty.

    Won’t happen as he won’t leave Cats.

    Why does an uncontracted 36 year old (surely a free agent) attract a draft pick.

    $750k... you have to be kidding.. $450 plus incentives taking it to $600k for a 40 goal year

    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. 

    Make that 4 walking frames, my Dad would be throwing his over the fence in protest.

    Mate as in groomsmen at each other’s weddings.

    No idea when it’ll be announced but can confirm with 100% certainty, straight from the horses mouth, that he’s staying at Geelong.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
