GEELONG spearhead Tom Hawkins has been named as one of just four players to be included in the last three All Australian sides.

Hawkins earned his fourth All Australian nod, with selectors valuing the dual threat he poses in kicking goals and dishing off goal assists naming him at centre half forward.

"I am really proud to get my fourth All Australian this year. Something I didn't anticipate at the start of the year," Hawkins told Fox Footy.

The 33-year-old ended the home-away-season with a second place finish in the Coleman Medal with 54 goals and was ranked fifth in the competition for total goal assists.

Hawkins' all-round dominance can be highlighted by the fact he was ranked the number one player in the game for forward 50 ground ball gets, marks inside 50, marks on the lead and fifth for tackles inside 50. He also recorded career-highs for hit outs and clearances and is on track to break his career-best haul for disposals over the Cats next two games.

The 2020 Coleman medallist shapes as a crucial player for the Cats in the upcoming finals series and will play his 300th AFL game against Port Adelaide in the second qualifying final on Friday night.
