AFL: Following the announcement he'll retire at season's end, is a fit Tom Hawkins an automatic inclusion into Geelong's Finals side?
MELBOURNE , AUSTRALIA - JUNE 21: Tom Hawkins of the Cats is seen on crutches after the 2024 AFL Round 15 match between the Carlton Blues and the Geelong Cats at The Melbourne Cricket Ground on June 21, 2024 in Melbourne , Australia . As Tom Hawkins approached his record-breaking last season with Geelong , he did so knowing one misstep could be enough to force him to make an extremely difficult decision regarding a serious toe problem that has troubled him for the past two years.
He could undergo further surgery — as it is, Hawkins needs to wear shoes as much as possible given the sensitivity near the toe — or he could decide to have the toe amputated should it cause him too much grief during the 2024 season. “Would I have then chop off my toe to have a shot at a fourth premiership? That was a decision I feared having to make.”
