Tom Hawkins vs Taylor Walker

[Nomad12]

Didn't see 2012?

What when he finished equal 2nd in Coleman, Won the B&F, was AA Full Forward and kicked a goal after the siren from 50 to beat Geelong's biggest modern day rival in the Hawks?...all after the year befores GF when he kicked 3 big goals and was a key to their victory. Pretty sure he was good in the QF to get them there too but don't hold me to it.

Clearly he had a bad moment/moments which has slipped my mind but he's proven to me he goes alright in big games. Not saying Tex doesn't, he's a gun. I'd just take Hawkins first.

hawkins has had the better career to date ,

but I think tex will be the star of the next decade

 

[BEEG]

Walker easily moves a lot better and doesn't sook for free kicks every week

 

[benbanjo]

Both are stars...

Hawkins with the runs on the board... so going with him at the moment, but that could all change soon.

 

[Bardo State]

Close, you'd have to say Hawkins for now. At least until Walker puts a dominant season together.

Close, you'd have to say Hawkins for now. At least until Walker puts a dominant season together.

In 2012 he kicked 60+ goals despite missing 6 regular season games, tore Fremantle to pieces in the semi final, kicked 4 in the prelim against Hawthorn.

Walker is not some unknown quantity who might come good one day. His numbers to date are already outstanding.

 

[blitzer]

Hawkins by a little bit. His strength in marking contests is pretty ridiculous. Manhandles pretty much every defender. Gets a bit underrated because people don't realise that Geelong's midfield is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

Walker is a great talent though and could be the better player at the end of the day. I think when all is said and done they will be in similar brackets much like Pav/Riewoldt.

 

[Vindicater]

Walker is better around the ground.

Hawkins is a monster forward though.

Hard to say, I would probably go with Walker because I like his ability to push up around the wings and also his pressure but I would love to see Hawkins leading for our midfield.
