Podsiadly went down early in the 2011 Grand Final and Hawkins played the game of his life, at age 23.
For the record, 19 touches, 15 of them contested, 9 marks and 3 goals 3, 3rd in the Norm Smith behind Bartel and Sellwood.
The biggest problem with Levi is that if he takes a mark outside scoring range Carlton is 50/50 at best to get the next possession, and watching him again last night nothing has changed on that score.
He's a better footballer than Hampson but that wouldn't be hard, Hampson is the worst footballer to ever play 50 games in Navy Blue.
Can't cop Levi criticism.
Such a positive for us since having sorted his kicking out. Any forward is reliant on supply. For the last 3 quarters last night he didn't get much.
If he were playing in a top team he'd be right up there in the league.

Wouldnt read much into that game...Tigers cubs vs Freo vets, that game was only going to end in tears for the cubs ...only real interest was Ross " Yeah Yeah" Lyons increased number of follicles....maybe Goo Guerrq and David Hale who are now on staff have enticed him to get the roof thatched...

Yes, I'd read as much into that result as I'd read into Thursday night's game, but we're still in with a huge chance to spoil Richmond's start to the season.
Pavlich's decision to go around again looks like it was on the money but I don't think he'll ever get to hold a premiership cup.

It's interesting isn't it. Jones really polarizes opinions between those who watch the game and those in the inner sanctum. I don't get it.
We delisted Holman and Walsh last year without a blink even though I thought they offered more than what Jones has shown so far. Training track form clearly carries a lot of weight.

Levi is what, 26 or so?
What you see is what you get.
If he plays full time forward he'll be ok for a couple a game, which will give him in the 40s. I'm sure he'll spend plenty of time rucking too. Won't be a gun who kicks 60-70 goals but a valuable player, who do pretty well in a good club.

We are short of big KPFs so Jones gets cut more slack than others where we have a more ready supply. Wishful thinking I guess on the part of the club.

Players under contract just don't get sacked these days unless something untoward has occurred.
If you are in your final year that is the only time you will have the Club's desires tested.
I'd like nothing more than for Jones to make it, but he is marking time. Just like a few others and if it means they play so we don't roll out a youngster like a lamb to the slaughter every week then that's a win.
Our young players need to learn the game plan and develop their ability to compete with the big boys at this level, and that means picking their moments for senior footy. Do that from now, and if they earn an early call up, good. If not then so be it.
