Last Friday night Geelong’s key forward, Tom Hawkins, received eight votes in the AFL Coaches Association Champion of the Year vote count for his courageous performance inside-50.
Hawkins was one of the main contributors in the Cats five point victory over the Blues, taking 17 touches, 10 marks and four goals.
Mathew Stokes also produced a solid game, receiving six votes from senior coaches for his 22 disposals, five clearances and three-goal effort.
Both Hawkins and Stokes ended their night with a disposal efficiency of over 80%. Cam Guthrie was given two votes for his game of 23 touches, five tackles and five clearances.
