Geelong had high hopes going into season 2020, hoping to right the wrongs of their 2019 prelim final exit at the hands of the Tigers.

However, the season was to end in heartbreak as they were once again denied by Richmond as Gary Ablett Jr.'s amazing career ended on a low.
3. MVP
Tom Hawkins:ย The 32-year-old was the best forward of the year by far after coming off a disappointing end to 2019 where he missed out on a preliminary final as a result of suspension.
The big man kicked 49 goals in 21 appearances and averaged 12.3 disposals per game. Unsurprisingly he picked up his first Coleman Medal as well as his third All-Australian blazer.
