Certified Legendary Thread Tom Hawkins - a magnificent 350+ games... The GFC All-Time Games Record Holder

[cats_09]

He isn't coming back is he

He's spoken about hoping to be available from the Fremantle game onwards

I think he returns, even if it's just for 1 game & if he's not going to play beyond that then they'll create an issue - nothing on his future will be mentioned until post season though

All we need is the threat of a light shower ahead of round 24 and we will drop Neale and bring in the Wet Weather specialist!

They may even leave the sprinklers on overnight accidentally!

I don't have the words to give Tom the accolades and gratitude he deserves,it's been one hell of a ride big fella thanks.

Big Tommy transitioning into the commentary box quite smoothly [emoji981][emoji442]

Tell ya what, he was head and shoulders above the usual idiots on Fox. And not just in terms of stature.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

He is a natural commentator. Much better than Joel who struggles to really add much

 

[Mad_Hatter]

I'm still pissy and salty he didn't kick just 4 more goals last year...

He had his chances. He just couldn't get it done. It happens.

I hope Fox Footy have a show in the future called Tom & Jack, once per week on Fox Footy and talk all things footy. They both would compliment each other really well, as we saw when they appeared in AFL360 on Players Night once per week.

I actually really like j riewoldt as a commentator, one of if not my fav analyst. Only analyst I have ahead are Ross the boss (before he coached again) and probs Buckley on equal par.

He is very composed and good in the media and Tom seems similar.

I was not a fan of selwood unfortunately in the media, i think he struggled to add much in the role, he almost seemed like he got stage freight

If we are talking Fox Footy Commentators/Analysts....in no particular order, I like (in my opinion):

Buckley
J. Riewoldt
Hawkins
Montagna

They provide good insight into the game.

I see also that Jack now hosts On The Couch. I reckon Hawkins will be on that show in the next few years.
