Certified Legendary Thread Tom Hawkins - clearly not insignificant !

[Stocks_go_Up]

We would be so *ed without Tomahawk.. Thank the lord for father son....

I stand by this statement.. Tommy found a new lease on life after his back issues - would love to learn what actually fixed his problems.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Probably the worst thread I’ve ever seen.

 

[Baudolino]

Not sure I've seen if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I just realised that Hawkins now has more than 1000 direct goal involvements (goals + goal assists) across his AFL career. That includes 732 goals and 273 goal assists. He brought up the milestone in the Prelim.

Phenomenal.

This thread title implies there are Geelong supporters that never rated him? Who are these people because I just want to talk..

There was a thread a long while ago called 'Tom Hawkins - becoming insignificant?' or something. It had traction during the years Hawk had back problems and a period of bad form.

This is that thread, renamed (by me, a long time ago).

Is this the same thread as the one where it was strongly argued we should trade hawkins to freo for Michael Walters? Or is that another thread.

Hawkins has kicked 356 goals and assisted 146 goals since that illustrious post.

Has won our goal kicking every year since and is now the AA captain, mostly due to his decade of consistent significance.

Blitz AA, multiple B&F and premiership star.

Walters, McCarthy & Cocky all afterthoughts.

Menegola never, ever looked like being a forward.

Hindsight probably proves many of my posts were wrong... but surely nothing has been this wrong!

Came across that fool on Reddit a little while back - still working the same tired shtick.

Must've annoyed plenty on that site too, as he was called out big time (not just by Geelong supporters either) once we'd won the flag.

Predictably never fronted up.

I don’t miss that sort of crap.

Seeds I’ve hung a fair bit of shit on you and other people who eat from the opposite side of the same pie.

To your credit you’ve fronted up and you’ve copped that and MOST of the time it still seems apparent that you follow the Cats.

BC posted like a lot of the current Richmond fans and gave almost elements of denial and belittled everything the club did and refused to go into bat for any element of it.

I don’t miss posters like that.

Yup agree with this.
I've potted seeds a few times too but said multiple times, Atleast I know he's a true GFC supporter, just with an at times opposing view, the drivel that BC used to spew on reddit (where since we went on a long winning streak he's no longer active) after he got banned here reeks of someone who definitely doesn't support the cats.

 

[STPer18]

Can't read it but some news article about Hawkins carrying a secret foot injury for two months.

 

[Strange Cat]

Rated at 5 ...in Robbo's top50... yet readers having him at ..45 ? seems a huge disparity.




Played injured thru the finals and nearly could have been BOG in the GF if he had kicked the goals from the chance he had... shame actually ..a bit like 2011.

Maybe its because in comparison to some of those older FF... like Locket ..he really have not ever kicked a huge bag. ... Id say he would be fine with that ... he was strong contributor in our last two flags and compared to some of those FF's in the past ..even GA sr ... he is a premiership player. Future HOF no doubt.
