Disappointing post from our self appointed rumour quality controller...

Do we swoop in..?

 

Negotiation tactics. He’ll sign an extension with the cats. 

Our interest with him did come up on trade radio late last week 

Long way from the farm to Casey.

I could see Hawkins doing a Buddy and rarely training.

At the right price a one year deal is not that silly.

I don't think we'll get anything out of TMac and probably little out of BBB

Jordan Lewis joining us from the hawks is just as strange as this…

Surely couldn’t happen.
The scuttlebutt in 2022 was that he was playing on very little money.  Must be be a matter of length.

You wouldn't see TH getting front-end loaded by "footy acts" either. As Walt said in Breaking Bad, "I am the danger".

I love the idea of signing him for 1 year with a clause for a second.  Pay him 500 a year which is less than Grundy.  We dont need that $$ atm but when his contract is up will fall perfectly with re-signing Petty/JVR

They have farms in Gippsland to...

Can’t stand Hawkins and really hope this is not a possibility.

Please no.

You want a player who's desperate and motivated to play in a succesful side, and hopefully play in a premiership team, aka Ben Brown. If Hawkins is holding out for more money, then we'll be just be topping up his super.

Pushes the defender in the back in almost every marking contest and gets away with it, has done for years. He is the reason May did his hamstring in 2021 and almost missed the GF. Makes me cringe every time I see him playing.  Geelong, please sign him up ASAP! 

Could be awkward. Pretty sure I've heard Max say at a function that Hawkins is his wife's hall pass.😬

Tom Hawkins only because he can teach some forward craft. Maybe offer him a 1 year contract with 2 years coaching?

Wouldn't want Hawkins in a pink fit......

Let him retire to mowing his lawn with the John Deere...

I'm all for making our team better, unless we have something else up our sleeve, 1 year wit Hawkins is better than any other option currently on list

That's OK; he wouldn't at Melbourne.
