The Hawkins Era Delayed In Geelong
The Geelong Cats have announced, and Channel 7 news also had a story, that Geelong full forward Tom Hawkins has a stress injury in his right leg. He will be restricted to light training for 4 to 8 weeks and will miss the preseason games. It was good to see the footage from the Under 18 games with Hawkins on the lead taking a strong mark, Geelong fans will have a lot to look forward to when he makes his debut.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Hawkins was going to be the best value player for all the first year forwards in the league. Now you might want to try another low-cost option on your AFL fantasy bench for the early rounds. But whenever Hawkins is ready to go then sign him up. The fantasy value of several Geelong players will increase with Hawkins out. With no Hawkins, or Steve Johnson, Ottens should have better stats while Nathan Ablett should also see more of the ball.
