In the previous two games hawkins has averaged 2 goals 1, had 17 possessions, 9 marks, 2.5 tackles and 6.5 hit outs (against nicknat and cox for one game).Fair points then. And I agree with you, Hawkins wasn't our worst.
But there becomes a time when "showing encouraging signs" take a back seat to needing to win finals and picking the best side on the day, and so based on the fact that Mooney was considerably better than him last night, and what Pods showed 2 weeks ago, Hawkins did not do enough to play next week, which was my point, and it's absolutely true. Now he'll play, coz the coach loves him, but he probably shouldn't. Just sayin'.
And I agree with you, Dasher was one of the few who could hold his head high last night. Anyone who says otherwise didn't watch much of the game.
Although he missed those goals tonight, he has proven in those two weeks, when conditions are conducive, he can be a big plus to our side.
I don't want to be tom's dad, fighting his battles, but he seems to be doing enough to fight his own, just people are expecting him to be jonathon brown at 20.
