Did Hawkins get injured or is just hopeless? Barely touched it.

They’re eating their young a little. You love to see it.

Injured. He's cooked.

Knows the writing is on the wall

He was hopeless and then got injured.

 

[Paul Kersey]

I missed that one - what did he say?

Comment re Carlton champion coach. Being precious but given his Hawthorn resume when talking about him gotta use both clubs.

Diesel Williams down in the rooms- guess he’s jumped on the bandwagon

Looked quite upset.

To be fair I reckon they’re not far off it with jhye clark - early days but he’s a worry

He also mentioned the crowds jumping on the Carlton bandwagon and compared them to Richmond. Credit where it’s due - Richmond folk turned up in better numbers when they were crap than Carlton did.

Went on a season too long

Id say because he's done some decent damage to his leg. Won't be out there against us that's for sure. We beat the Eagles we should be absolutely chomping at the bit to smash these pricks and officially fly past them for the foreseeable future.

Reckon were going a bit early here. Needs a few more matches under his belt before casting him off as a spud. In this midfield he's on a hiding to nothing and being asked to do more than he should be at this stage.

Looked similar to what Croad did in the 2008 Grand Final. He went down without being touched, came off the field proppy after looking down and holding his foot. Ended the night on crutches.

 

[TylerDurden]

Hawkins on crutches. Doesn't look good.

Yep looked similar. Could be at least 4-6 weeks at a minimum or worst case the season and potentially his career

 

[BobHawk]

Diesel Williams down in the rooms- guess he’s jumped on the bandwagon

Reckon teams bring legends like Diesel back into the fray when they are in Carlton's position. I think it helps with giving a sense of a higher mission and a connection to a club's successful era. Noticed it a bit in American sport in recent years.

I hate Geelong as much as most but to see an injury potentially end Tom Hawkins

career is a terrible thing. By all reports he is a great bloke and apart from his cheeky ‘in the back out of the ruck’ goals (had to take a dig somewhere) he has had a good career.

Agree. Shit way to go out. Seems a decent bloke.

We all have our delusions, but most over there have been very positive this year they will bounce back and win the flag again. Seems like its finally sinking in.

Also, that 2022 premiership only gets more and more WTF for me. Massive rabbit out of a hat.

Agreed, should be on his terms after this long a career. He probably should have gone out on the flag win like Selwood.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

The Geelong midfield is so bad I am positive they will come with a godfather offer for Worps.

He ticks all the boxes for them. A hard at it, proven midfielder in his prime who is also a Bellarine boy.

I have no inside knowledge but it seems an obvious play for them to make.

I’m pretty sure Worps will stay though, Sam loves him and he looks very happy in his current role.

Went on one season too long but I have to give him credit for maintaining such a high level of play right up into his mid thirties which is a testament to his professionalism.

Agree, seems like a genuinely decent fellow. Always a shame when a champion player goes out on an injury.
