While many Geelong supporters today will have aching heads after raucous celebrations after the AFL Grand Final triumph, one will be with very sore shoulders – from wearing star Tom Hawkins.
The party kicked off after Saturday’s 81-point win over the Sydney Swans and continued for the rest of the weekend, spilling over into the Geelong social club where the drinks flowed and the music pumped.
Hawkins, who scored three goals in the momentous win, was filmed singing and dancing as he rode on the shoulders of a fan at the club.
He celebrated enthusiastically to the tune of the Tritonal song Hey Mamama, which features Dario G.’s classic 80s song Sunchyme.
The supporter did well not to succumb to the weight of the 105kg attacker who was in full swing despite two consecutive days of celebrating the club’s momentous premiership.

Hawkins’ wife later revealed that the man under her husband was Starbucks Head of Property Tom Veale.
“How’s the neck this morning @tommyveale?” she posted after the party.
While Hawkins is sure to gather votes for the best party animal in the aftermath of the premiership, the attacker said the honor went to Jeremy Cameron, according to teammate Tom Atkins.

Cameron is famously filmed chasing a cow wearing his premiership medal in the wee hours of the morning and only sleeping for 30 minutes before heading to the social club to kick some ass.
“I think ‘Jezza’ was the best, I don’t know if you have him on Instagram, but the medal on the cow was pretty funny,” Atkins said.
“Honestly, I expected everyone to look a lot worse than they did this morning.
“We all knew today was going to be a great day, so we closed it pretty early. I was in bed at about 3am, not so bad.’
Cameron revealed that a friend dropped the cows on his property the night before the grand finale after being stranded nearby.
“I don’t know who came up with the idea,” Cameron said of the medal on the cow.
“We thought it was funny then, then the cow came out of the pen and went into the open paddock and then it got a little funny.
“I had enough friends there to brush it off and get it back.
“The only thing I learned overnight is that you shouldn’t give your medal to a cow at five in the morning.
“Easy to do the cow, hard to get back…no cows were hurt.”
Meanwhile, veteran superstar Joel Selwood gauged zero votes in party interests, choosing to prioritize tranquility over wild parties.
“I’m an older and wiser man, so I got enough sleep, I left that to the younger ones to do what they had to do,” Selwood said.
‘What a day. [It’s] just unbelievable, to be honest it all went according to plan and even better it was absolutely perfect.
“I woke up pretty early and got some good nutrition in me and we drove from Barwon Heads and didn’t know what to expect today, we heard it was going to be big but this is unbelievable.”
