Great stuff, never, ever get sick of relieving that.


On a side note, as has been said many a time, the professionalism of Anthony Hudson in that call is almost as amazing as Nick's four goals.


Almost.

If you heavily factor in availability and value for money then I can see an argument but Buddy's various peaks over the past 10 years have undoubtedly been higher.

I did a very quick run of stats from the start of 2012 til now. Hawkins vs Bud. The numbers are as follows:

	Total matches	Total Goals	Average disposals	Average marks	Average goals/behinds	Average I50's	Average Brownlow votes (not including 2021)	Average tackles
Bud	176	544	15.8	5.6	3.1/2.2	4.0	.6	2.6
Hawkins	222	557	12.6	5.6	2.5/1.4	1.7	.2	1.8

Hawkins has been remarkable. For his output and his durability. One of the best of the last 20 years.

But come on. Numbers speak for themselves. Or ignore the numbers and just watch them play and that speaks for itself too.

Hawkins averages are worse per game.
Buddy has been consistent for his entire career.
Hawkins was crap for quite a few years after being drafted. Talls take longer I know.
But Hawkins has been fairly impressive in his last years on these numbers.
There are much more things than stats that define a champion footballer. Supporters of their own club see them better and hold them higher than others for their own reasons I suppose.

I think this illustrates the most incredible thing about Buddy,

No one is even close to him.

Hawkins and Riewoldt are two deadset guns, some of the generations best key forwards, and neither of them are close to matching Buddy.

Great scenes.

On the playing list contract page he's listed as out of contract at end of 2021, however itsounds like he's all lined up for next year;

His return home, while temporary, is great to see as he looks to push on during his return to the AFL in the coming weeks.

Sam Edmond on SEN saying one of our problems is Mills and Heeney are back ended and this is a problem and no interest in keeping Hewett who's off to Carlton !

At least Mills isn't an overpaid HBF anymore
