Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
Very interesting to see the Tomahawk come out and support Paddy this week. Compared Paddy to himself and said, 'like him and key postion players', just needs time!!!!!
May or may not be an agenda there on behalf of Geelong, but nice to see him supporting Paddy and more importantly, someone really at the coalface who believes in the kid, maybe an education for some on this forum!!!!!
Well done Tommy!!!!!

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
Always find it a bit weird when current players comment on other current players from a different team. Not sure what prompted it, but it was a nice little rev up for Paddy.

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
I've no doubt that Geelong, Richmond, Collingwood, Brisbane, Carlton, North Melbourne and perhaps even Freo are all talking about Paddy. We'd be idiots to lose him and would have our face rubbed in it in subsequent years.
There are many good key forwards, past and present, coming out in support of Paddy. Seems like he's highly rated by his peers.

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
If I remember correctly, Hawkins was himself a subject of conjecture in his early seasons with the catters. Give Paddy a break, for goodness sake Saints fans

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
That's correct. He had a poor diet like Paddy when he moved to Melbourne and it took him 4 years to lean-up and build his tank. TH is actually most likely the best qualified to speak about Paddy due to his own build and performance. I wouldn't mind Paddy having a breakout period like TH's 09 finals seriesthejiggingsaint wrote:If I remember correctly, Hawkins was himself a subject of conjecture in his early seasons with the catters.

And I hope he does it against the Cats, for karma's sake

So Hawkins states that Paddy needs time?
Sounds like Hawkins is stating that Paddy is under performing and needs time to cut the mustard at AFL level.
Does that sound respectful?
Where does he get off making comment about opposition players needing time.
Have a look in your own backyard chief.
Hawkins was a FS high 40's pick, not a #1 pick BTW.

It is just AFL media 101. Players at other clubs would have absolutely no idea and wouldnt give two hoots about Paddy.stonecold wrote:+1!!!!!Linton Lodger wrote:I've no doubt that Geelong, Richmond, Collingwood, Brisbane, Carlton, North Melbourne and perhaps even Freo are all talking about Paddy.

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
Would've been a top 5 pick in his draft and was touted as a number 1 if he wasn't a f/s. He does know something of the pressure that Paddy is under, as he was subjected to the same sort of criticisms that Paddy is now. Some in the media called him the next plugger. The pussies' faithful gave him a dreadful time for a while, which only stopped when he was a member of the 2009 premiership team. Imagine if Paddy kicked a couple in a premiership team. We'd worship him forever. His support is welcome, AFAIC.

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
"Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" was the description of No 26. At the moment, Paddy doesn't even look like Tarzan.
As long as Paddy matures enough to score goals when he hits the post, I'll be happy.

Haven't you heard that common sense is very uncommon.
Very surprised that you are supporting an opposition player who is clearly mocking a saints player.

Re: Hawkins on Paddy!!!!!
I think that's harsh, JB. He's been what Paddy's been through, complete with the expectations. I'm as skeptical as anyone, but in this case, I think he may be genuine.

It's naysayers by the way for future reference and not no-sayers.....
