Jack Hawkins??

[TAYLOR!]

As i was watching the game V Richmond on foxtel today the commentators or atleast the ground commentator kept calling tom hawkins, jack hawkins?? is this a nickname i didn't know about or does he just know nothing?

i think i also heard one of them call matty stokes, ian stokes when they were mentioning him not playing due to soreness??

Tommy's Dad is named Jack. Used to play back in the day.

 

[The rabbi]

Tom's old man was known as Jumping Jack Hawkins.
But that was before my time!

 

[CF]

Gerard Healey is a twat let's face it

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Ablett jnr gets called by his dad's name all the time!

 

[darren forssman]

it was hard to tell if it was some nickname for him or their total shitness.

And boy could he take a hanger

 

[hamG]

Healey definitely gave me the shits today.

Whatever gramps

Damn skinners. Learn some history and respect your elders.

OP, surely you're not too young to remember 2006, when Hawkins was drafted as a father-son pick? Which means his old man must have played for us too, right? Jumpin' Jack Hawkins, gun CHB in the '70s and early '80s. Look him up.

Yeah but why call him 'Jack Hawkins'? We don't go 'oh a wonderful tap from Rod Blake' or 'Larry Donohue played well in the 2s last week' or 'John Scarlett is destroying Riewoldt'.

 

[vinum coupe]

You sound as old as me

 

[Turkey Tom]

Yeah but why call him 'Jack Hawkins'?

Because they are overpaid ********s?

The Hawkins' are from my home town, a little place called finley, where one 2009 hawthorn premiership player and former brownlow medallsit also hails from.

Tomahawks old man, Jumpin Jack, happens to be in Geelong's team of the century, Centre Half Back no less. Could play.

It is also worth noting that his uncles were pretty decent footballers, one of which had his career curtailed by a foot injury.

That said I would love nothing more than to see Tommy step up and rip it apart this year, 7 in the granny against the hawks where we rip 'em a new one

GO CATS

 

[Rosella]

Yep. went the sex change, wanted to see how the other half live, and my other half wasn't happy

Boy you have it easy

Yay, no more housework for you!

What makes you think we'll be playing them?

Man.... I wish he would start showing more of his old man's traits. Would love some hangers from the Tomahawk.

Although a dyed in the wool Blues' fan, I loved watching Jumpin Jack play. I might be wrong but it would seem his off spring doesn't seem to be any where near athletic as his dad, but then again he is still wearing his "L's" and was carrying a bit of excess the last time I saw him play.

Did you ever see Crawf play as a youngster?

 

[shake_and_bake]

Yeah but why call him 'Jack Hawkins'? We don't go 'oh a wonderful tap from Rod Blake' or 'Larry Donohue played well in the 2s last week' or 'John Scarlett is destroying Riewoldt'.

well funny you say that because i think they often call Blake, Rod and Donohue Larry...instead of Mark and Adam

 

[Exhale You]

Gerard Healy has done that before.

Tom was an excellent high jumper and would regularly take massive speckies in school footy, then he grew (up and out).

Not many 6'6", 105-110kg lads stand on other players heads (Brereton was shorter ), so it's natural to expect Tom to not have the athleticism he once had.

His grandfather on his mother's side also played for Geelong.

Hopefully the 'talented footballer' gene is passed on to Charlie Hawkins, the tall gene certainly has been.

 

[TAYLOR!]

Thanks for that guys!

i think tommy had a pretty good game, not having played much seniors and also coming back from his foot injury, i hope he keeps getting picked for the side to get some more experience. At least now i know his dads name was jack i can stop yelling at the screen everytime they say jack hawkins!

 

[Eudes]

I'm pretty sure Gerard Healy hates geelong. Don't know why? Maybe a geelong player had it off with his mum or something, back in the day.

Someone needs to punch him in the nut bag!
