It was sad to see Hawkins limp off with what is probably a career ending injury. Weitering will be devastated after owning him for several seasons ?
Seriously though, Hawkins has had a great career and has been a key part of Geelong’s success. His form this year has been poor and he probably should have pulled the pin at the end of last season. You’re retired for a long time and the temptation to keep going must be strong, particularly when personal milestones are within reach. Not having an obvious replacement probably played a part too.
Weitering’s dominance got the commentators talking about the All Australian selectors failure to give him his rightful place. One said that it will be fixed this year and I’m not really sure what that meant.
Apart from not giving Hawkins a sniff, Weiters’ leadership, the help he provides his teammates, his decision making and ball use are all critical factors in our performance. ???
