Tom Hawkins boots incredible 55m soccer goal

Tom Hawkins put his hand up for a Socceroos' cap with this thundering goal against GWS on Sunday.

Storming down the flank, with the ball in front of him, Hawkins' quick thinking paid dividends as he put boot to ball, remarkably soccering the ball home for a goal.

The presence of mind to spot the open goal square was nearly as impressive as the remarkable finish.

Hawkins finished the game with three goals, 18 disposals and 10 marks in the Cats' 13-point loss to the Giants.

They might have lost the game, but he definitely walked away with the play of the day.

Although, Shane Mumford laid a pretty solid claim with this earth-shattering hit on Mitch Duncan.
