Universal Love Tom Hawkins 2020 Coleman Medalist

[cats_09]

Congrats to Hawkins on winning his first Coleman Medal - thoroughly deserved

We all know that Hawkins has always played with a team first mentality, looking for teammates in a better position etc - I'm curious if this has happened before though where not only are the top 3 for avg goal assists from the same team, but they've avg the same number of goal assists

Placeholder 4 previously from the same team as well.

Moons and SJ must be proud.

Surely the players have to vote him MVP?

He won the Coleman by 10 goals in a low-scoring season while also finishing equal-top of the goal assists chart. No one even came close to him in terms of scoreboard impact.

Not if the umpires can get involved somehow.

Seriously, though, you're quite right about his exceptional impact this year. Very difficult to mount a case for an alternative MVP this season.

Well Neale averages 27 disposals a game, having 64 I50 for 1 goal assist, so he is a shoe-in

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Purely on numbers, the most dominant Coleman winner since Lloyd

Kicked 31.5% more goals than his nearest rival.

Are you serious? 64 i50s for 1 GA?!

Well after this round it was 73 I50 for 1 GA,

I was upset when I checked, he almost got through the year on donuts. It took until the 2nd last round for him to get one.

That's a shithouse return - I don't imagine he's scored many goals himself

Though perhaps his delivery was good but Brisbane's wayward kicking meant they all became "score assists" instead

 

[Spearman]

I like how the NHL esteem the goal assist. When I watched a lot, admittedly decades ago, assists and goals both earned a point towards the scoring title.

Well done to the big fella. 4 goals in the finals series will see him hit 600 career goals. Just needs another 239 to pass Doug Wade and move to 2nd on the “most club goals for Geelong” list. (Maybe next year)....

Fantastic season by Tommy! Deserves all the praise and more. Hopefully caps a fine season off with a premiership.

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Congratulations Tommy! Great home and away season by the big man.

 

[TheMenz Gallery]

There are some amazing stats in this thread.
good job Lana and guys.

There is no better sight than seeing a big key forward monstering bloke the way Tommy has this year. Can’t wait to see what damage he can cause in the finals.

Well deserved Coleman for the Hawk. If he was more selfish he would have a collection of them.

Purely on numbers, the most dominant Coleman winner since Lloyd

Kicked 31.5% more goals than his nearest rival.

What a world we live in when only 1 player in the whole competition can score over 2 goals a game based upon a 17 round season. Kennedy probably averaged over 2 as he missed games but looking at the final table that is what sticks out to me.

I think you're right about that mostly being the (AFL) world we live in. A world where defence is everything and '75,000 players in a forward line' has become totally commonplace. 'Horrendous' is about the most fitting way to describe the spectacle that emerges.

Where’s the memorabilia at!!!!!!

Throwback Tuesday...

 

[patience]

Onya Tom. Deserves the accolades.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Congrats Tommy.

 

[cats_09]

Watch all 42 goals here

 

[Down at K Park]

Amazing that he was so far ahead. Also amazing that this is his first.

Well done big fella. Now to kick some bags in these finals.

 

[Generalissimo]

Fitting reward for years of hard work, unselfishness, and skill.

Onya Tom.

Looking for our naysayers/GFC critics expressing their congratulations to Tom for his Coleman victory, and his efforts this season.....

Not one......

coleman medal
3 x AA KPF
Best and Fairest, probably x2
2 x Premiership player
Arguably the most well-rounded forward of the decade

and still completely disregarded by non cats fans.
