Tom Hawkins will equal Joel Selwood’s club record of 355 games at GMHBA Stadium tonight (Friday May 10).

Hawkins has booted 790 goals for the Cats although he will run out tonight against Port Adelaide having not kicked a major in four matches.

After Selwood and Hawkins, Corey Enright sits in third place on Geelong’s all-time games list with 332 with Ian Nankervis on 325 in fourth and Jimmy Bartel on 305 in fifth.

Of Hawkins’ current teammates, skipper Patrick Dangerfield (325 games, with 171 at Geelong), Mitch Duncan (280 games), Zach Tuohy (276, 156 with the Cats) and Mark Blicavs (254) haven’t done shabbily either.

The Cats are second on the ladder and take the seventh placed Power tonight starting at 7.10pm.
