Cats veteran to miss Suns clash, Power duo praised
The Cats will be without Tom Hawkins for their clash against the Suns
GEELONG star Tom Hawkins will be managed for the Cats’ clash against Gold Coast in Darwin next week in what was a pre-planned move.
Hawkins, 35, equalled Joel Selwood’s Geelong games record as the Cats suffered a six-point loss to Port Adelaide on Friday night, with a dramatic fightback falling short.
The forward ended his run of four games without a goal, kicking one major, and coach Chris Scott confirmed Hawkins would miss Geelong’s trip up north in round 10.
It means Hawkins is set to play his 356th game and break Selwood’s record when the Cats host Greater Western Sydney at GMHBA Stadium on May 25.
“We won’t (play Hawkins in Darwin). That’s been our plan,” Scott said.
“Likely we’ll tell you the week we’re doing these things, but we’ll give you no more notice than that.”
