Tom Hawkins 350 games - What is his standing in the game?

[Mr Meow]

Amartey sitting in stands provided more than Franklin or Reid in the '22 GF when Hawkins was rending the soul from the laydown Swans.

Hawkins was certainly more central to premiership success than Franklin ever was, despite the latter being a far superior player.

Take Hawkins contributions out and there's no 2009 or 2011 flags. Take his dominant first quarter out against Sydney in 2022 and maybe they'd have steadied and made a competitive game out of it.

Thread's gone about as expected, with two or three Richmond supporters posting in good taste and the rest piling on with their clownish trolling.

Clownish trolling, like this you mean?

We're still grieving that he passed Jacky 'special comments' Riewoldt, fellas?

Goose/gander.

Absolutely top end KPF. Just behind Buddy and alongside Reivoldt's, Kennedy.

Unusual modern KPF - very big and powerful, not athletic. But very smart and a great team player.

Just outside the all time elite.

Amazing career.
