STAR Geelong forward Tom Hawkins is drawing inspiration from storylines in world sport as the Cats seek to turn around their stuttering AFL premiership defence.
After Saturday’s shock home defeat to Toby Greene-inspired GWS, Geelong find themselves sitting 10th with a 5-6 record following a third-straight loss.
A stack of injuries have compounded the Cats’ misery, but Hawkins said Geelong were remaining calm and believed they could respond in the back-half of the season.
“There’s obviously a touch of frustration, losing (three) in a row, and we’re dealing with that,” the 34-year-old said on Tuesday.
“We’re certainly not playing the way we want to, but we are putting some things in place to rectify that.
“I’m still really positive about the season.”
