"I don't think he (Scott) can play him (Hawkins). His form was off for nearly two months, and then he goes down and his side has performed really, really well, since he's gone out.

"I think Shannon Neale deserves his spot ahead of him. I also think Jeremy Cameron

AFL News 2024: Geelong Cats, Tom Hawkins retirement, final game against West Coast, foot injury, finals structure, Matthew Lloyd, Footy Classified

As insensitive as this sounds, I think it’s a fair assessment tbh. At the end of the day the aim for most clubs & coaches is to win premierships.. this is a business after all and if they’re doing better without him in the team then so be it.

Someone sounds upset that they lost their spot on Footy ClASSified.

Shannon Neale deserves his spot, not Hawkins.

Story checks out



Tubs has played more games than Neale but doesn't rate a mention

What are you up to this September?

 

[V_23]

TIL there’s a Geelong player called Shannon Neale

 

[Orange crush]

What are you up to this September?

I think his gif gives it away

 

[Scully2GWS UMAD]

Yes we are spoilt for riches, imagine how we feel as Cats fans, Hawkins gets injured and our forward line improves.

Was this meant to be a troll…..

 

[FurTheWin]

Why yes there is, thanks for noticing.
Don't tell these other idiots tho, they're still hoping to post some "Hurr, Porkins" comedy gold next year

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

If he plays again, we will

I think Hawkins knows he will not get back, and he will do the team thing unless Neale has a bad last 2 games.

But why are Geelong just happy to finish in the top 8 every year and not win Grand Finals?

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

geeLOL flogs: we’re the greatest team of all because we lose more finals than anyone and a newspaper declared us the ‘winners’ of seasons played without grand finals

4 flags in 61 years is not that good.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Imagine bragging about having 17* flags and 13 of them are from before you were born

Geelong can't help that the CFL had an unfair zoning system

The tampered draft is an improvement but not by much
