Great player, fantastic career.
Sport can be very brutal. 12 months ago Hawkins and Martin looked like they had years left in them. This year, both players looked every bit of their respective years in age and then some.

Yeah absolutely he was.
I hope he doesn't come back this year and kick 3 more goals though as that'll take him past Jack.
Remarkably parallel careers.

Both got the 3 premierships.
He has already passed Jack for club games (787) - is on 796 goals and needs 5 more to pass Richo on 800.
Creates a selection dilemma for the Cats - do they pick an injury prone and largely non productive Tomahawk for a send off when they are contending for finals?

Getting criticised via the media for announcing this today. Typical Cants...

I think you mean Richo.
Needs 5 Goals.
Has already passed Sir Jackmond.
Richo 800
Porkins 796
Sir Jackmond 787
Great career, shocking timing!
Hawk has been on the slide for a while. And dusty really hasn't been the same player since the Robinson collision. The end comes quickly.
Personally think it's a big risk for the Pies to allow Pendlebury to be going around again.
I was going by wikipedia but I checked AFL Tables and you are correct.
Maybe the wiki listing has been fudged, a bit like his playing height!
Cheers BrianTaylor.
I use this site. They are pretty good.
Shovekins had the quality players feeding him for his whole career, put Jack there n he would be up to Locket, well almost
Yes, a great player but as with others at Geelong he had rule changes to his benefit.
The one that gets missed among the 6-6-6, stand rule etc, is when Hocking removed the 'Hands in the Back' rule from 2019. Now which power forward with a propensity to shove opponents in the back in marking contests and boundary throw ins would gain the most from that decision?

It does and is why it's folly when people say of a 30 something player when they've had a good game or season "oh, he can play for another 5 years, til he's 36, I reckon".
