Sources close to the club claim that Hawkins, a cornerstone of the Cats’ success for more than a decade, submitted his unexpected resignation late last night following what insiders describe as a “deeply personal and team-altering realization.”
A Decision No One Saw Coming
According to club insiders, the decision came after a closed-door meeting that left several senior players visibly shaken. Hawkins, known for his loyalty, toughness, and leadership, allegedly told teammates that he could no longer continue under circumstances that “compromised the spirit of the team.”
“This hurts more than any loss,” one anonymous teammate reportedly said. “Tom is Geelong to us.”
Organization Responds in Shock
The Geelong Cats organization released a brief but emotional statement early this morning, confirming they had accepted Hawkins’ resignation and would respect his wishes moving forward.
“Tom Hawkins has given everything to this club,” the statement read. “While this decision is shocking and deeply painful, we accept it boldly, with gratitude for his legacy.”
Club officials were said to be stunned, with some reportedly learning the news moments before it leaked.
Fans React with Disbelief and Anger
Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement. Longtime supporters expressed disbelief, heartbreak, and even frustration over the timing of the decision, which comes at a critical point in the season.
“This feels unreal,” one fan posted. “You don’t just replace Tom Hawkins.”
What Happens Next?
Speculation is already swirling about what truly led to the decision. Was it internal conflict? Physical toll? A philosophical divide with leadership? For now, those answers remain unclear.
