Hawkins gets dropped, plays shit in the VFL, has a week off injured, then recalled.
Simpson played well against an AFL standard ruckman in the VFL and Hawk gets in ahead of him.
Added to the Gillies one already discussed, quite perplexing.
Um! We have won 12 on the trot. Bit hard to be too critical of a Match Committee with that record.
I too have misgivings about Gillies. However, London to a brick the MC have well founded reasons for including him and Tomahawk which may well be bigger picture reasons.
