Tom Hawkins Biography

Tom Hawkins is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on July 21, 1988 in Australia, Australia. Australian rules football forward nicknamed “Tomahawk” who was drafted by Geelong under the father-son draft rule in 2006. He went on to win AFL Premierships with the team in 2009 and 2011 and received the Carji Greeves Medal as Geelong’s best and fairest in 2012.

He won the 2009 and 2011 AFL Premiership alongside Geelong teammate Jimmy Bartel.

Hawkins was officially selected by Geelong in the 2006 national draft under the father–son rule. Whilst many pundits lauded him as the best key position prospect within the draft, and felt Hawkins’ junior performances warranted possible selection with the top overall pick, the father-son rules at the time only required Geelong to use a middle-tier third round pick to draft him. The subsequent controversy over what was widely acknowledged as a bargain gain for the Cats led to the AFL amending the father-son ruling for future use. With a reputation as one of the finest young tall forwards in the land, Hawkins was immediately billed as the successor to the legendary Gary Ablett, whose retirement ten years earlier had left a gaping hole in Geelongs forward line. A stress reaction injury to his right leg, however, halted Hawkins’ pre- season, forcing his much-awaited debut in Geelong colours to take place in the Victorian Football League (VFL) side.

In the mid-year of 2006, Hawkins was selected to play in the 2006 AFL Under 18 Championships, lining up at full forward for Vic Metro. A best on ground performance which yielded twelve marks and six goals in the opening match against South Australia began a wave of unprecedented hype and attention, with Hawkins drawing comparisons to former Brisbane Lions forward, Jonathan Brown and leading Vic Metro coach David Dickson to declare the young forward as “the best footballer I’ve seen…since Chris Judd”. Hawkins was awarded the Larke Medal as the most valuable player within division one and named as the tournament’s All-Australian full-forward, just falling short of the all-time contested marking record held by Justin Koschitzke.

His father is former Geelong star “Jumpin” Jack Hawkins.
