Cant wait to see what BTB can produce next year. Hopefully no backwards steps from here
It will be very interesting. End of the day Im not sure Im going to care ! hahaha
I keep thinking about Nathan Ablett you know. He had his own pressures much like Tom very unique pressures.
Kicked 3 goals in a grand final and people thought it would be his coming of age. Ended up a different story.
I couldn't envisage that Tom would go anywhere near that path.
He may not even track Hawkins path as hawkins was 23 when he played his grand final break out game so may take our Tom more time.
I still think there are technical flaws in his marking and he needs to work on being stronger in a contest.
Before I get howled down about 8 marks in a grand final I would suggest 5/8 were on midfield opponents or chest marks.
The strength in marking I am talking about is when he is marking above his head against a backman or ruckman of height and strength.
It may be a confidence thing and if that is the case then Id expect a big spike as cant deny the grand final will have boosted his confidence.
He will be a story within the story of how we go the year after climbing the mountain.
