I would imagine it's because Hawkins is a KPF and Gamble isn't. 197cm vs 184cm, you work it out.
That's exactly it. We need a KPF and we are looking to develop Hawkins to fit the position. He's not going great but he is slowly making progress.
Gamble is a great player, but he isn't as essential to our team structure as Hawkins, expecially in the future.

Here's MASON
It's because he has a dad.
It is today was Gambles time to cement his spot in the team but now he will not get the chance.
It is really hard for him to get back into the team and he has to take his chances.
he was kicking them perfectly the other week at skilled. the commentators were havin a wank.
Now I know the word great is used too much. He is a promising young player who would be a good 3rd tall for most teams.
Yeah, probably threw out the term a little too casually. Good player nontheless and sad to see him out of the game.
Everyone has a dad.

Every team should have at least two tall forwards and with Mooney out, Hawkins is a must.
Absoloute hack who is being dragged along in geelongs tremendous wake. He is basically a big lumpy who would struggle to get a kick at another club. Too big, too slow, too stupid for modern footy.
He absolutely dominated the handful of games I saw of him while he was playing in the APS comp. Was always going to struggle with the speed of the game. Same thing happened with Fergus Watts, only difference is a bigger hype surrounding Tomahawk due to his father. Would have dominated in the 70's and 80's. Still got talent and I would persist with him for most of the year. He's played pretty well for most of the year anyway.
don't know too many KPP's who tear it up at 20
not everyone's name is buddy franklin.
not everyone's name is buddy franklin.
i agree
taking the number 1 defender all match
i think he woulda learnt a fair bit from today.
buddy/ tredders/ brown/ all the GUN forwards were playing well at that age. Geelong are so good as a team its difficult to gauge how good each individual in the machine is, I honestly think that hawkins and 3-4 other geelong players would really struggle for a game at an average club.
Footy has changed, hawkins would be a gun in the 80's but not now, he is just too big and slow to succeed. A modern day dinosaur.
He would be struggling for a a game let alone a kick at a poor club.
rephrase. not everyone is a freak like buddy, tredrea or brown.
And even geelong cant afford too many passengers. its getting close.
