Star Cats forward Tom Hawkins has been placed into quarantine ahead of this Saturday's AFL Grand Final with Richmond.
Hawkins, who this year earned All-Australian honours and claimed the Coleman Medal, didn't train with his side today after reportedly feeling unwell.
The club is confident their star forward will be right and believes that a case of "sore throat" has passed through his family, according to Nine's AFL reporter Ayrton Woolley.
