‘We don’t talk at all’: Sacked AFL great explains rift with club president over 26-year mystery – Fox Sports
Western Bulldogs legend Doug Hawkins has revealed that, 26 years on, he is still in the dark over who was behind his controversial sacking from the club and holds a considerably strained relationship with Dogs president Peter Gordon.
Hawkins opened up to the Herald Suns Sacked podcast on his 350-game career, which included four years as captain, a best and fairest award and leading goalkicker honours during his 329-game, 216-goal stint for Footscray.
At the start of the 1994 season, Hawkins was asked to take a pay cut by Gordon, who remains the club president today. Hawkins successfully rejected the notion, but his time at the club would come to an unceremonious end at the close of the season.
