A good effort from a player I thought was gone 5 years ago when he could hardly bend to pick up a football

An yet doesn't get any of the free-kicks that all the other KPF in the game get on a regular basisSeems to get away with pushing in the back more than most.

You're showing a total lack of knowledge of his game if that is how you think he playsPlays from behind and pushes/out bodies his opponent so you'd expect he gets less frees
Good player, surprised he has kicked so many tbh.
Only a couple of hundred off the true greats.

DarlingThe FF/FA stats for Hawkins, Kennedy, Riewoldt, Walker, Cameron, Darling, Lynch are pretty comparable.
If people really want to argue that Hawkins 0.88 FF per game is statistically significant compared to Riewoldt's 0.95 or Kennedy's 1.06 then good luck to them. The difference between Hawkins and Kennedy (the bookends of that stat for the 700 club) is 0.16 FF per game. In other words an extra free kick every 5 or 6 games. A lot of it is game style. Given how Hawkins plays he's never going to get Nick Riewoldt free kick numbers.
The real outlier is Franklin who gives away 1 free kick per game more than the others. He gets slightly more frees than the others, but if anything I'd say the umpires miss more frees he should get than unfairly penalise him. Has given away over 600 frees in his career and I reckon most of them have been pretty obvious. Absolute superstar but he does give away some dumb frees.
He is a great though.
Him, Riewoldt and Kennedy have all kicked more goals than most forwards even though they play in an era when big bags haven't been as prevalent as previous generations I reckon.
Hawkins, Reiwoldt and Kennedy would be greats in any era.
Darling
Please
Was gonna say, how soon people forget Fevola. If he was less of an idiot and had more longevity in the game, could have easily kicked 1000.I don't have Hawkins in the same tier as Riewoldt, Tredrea and Kennedy.
They're both a tier below Brown, N. Riewoldt and Pavlich.
Which are a tier below Richo, Lloyd and Fevola for mine.
Absolutely. Complete gun, such an accurate kick too.Was gonna say, how soon people forget Fevola. If he was less of an idiot and had more longevity in the game, could have easily kicked 1000.
