You couldn’t have scripted it better.
A big occasion, in front of a big crowd, full of big moments.
A big victory for Geelong downing Carlton by 13-points to sit outright top on the AFL ladder.
There were some big milestones too for Geelong’s two big men in attack.
Jeremy Cameron surpassed the 600-career goal milestone with a five-goal haul.
His 600th snapped beautifully after Tom Hawkins expertly tapped into the path of Cameron from a ball up.
For Hawkins, Geelong’s seventh victory of the season saw him become just the fifth player in VFL/AFL history to record 250 career wins.
Joining an esteemed group comprising of Michael Tuck (302), Shaun Burgoyne (263), Kevin Bartlett (260) and former teammate Joel Selwood (259).
There was a sense of Déjà vu for Hawkins too, as his first career win was against Carlton back in Round 2, 2007.
