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.

    So you'd be in your mid-thirties and enjoy the rural lifestyle...

    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.

    • 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.
