On the verge of equalling Geelong’s games record, Tom Hawkins has no doubts he can work his way through his current form slump. Hawkins, 35, will draw level with great mate Joel Selwood on 355 AFL games when the Cats host Port Adelaide at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night. But the milestone comes as Hawkins has gone goalless for four weeks for the first time in his career. “Look, I’m well aware that I’m not in great touch at the moment,” he said.
“I’ve always thought that I add more than just my ability to kick goals,” he added. “I just need to have a little bit more influence in the game.” Hawkins wasn’t concerned about his football mortality. “Life’s far too busy for me to worry too much about that,” he said. “... it’s just about how can I get back to being able to help the team as quickly as I can.” Hawkins was joined by Selwood, Jimmy Bartel and Ian Nankervis to celebrate the milestone.
