Round 8, Player of the week!
For the third time this season, Round 8 Player of the Week honours go to Tommy Alkemade. In a hard-fought contest against Carisbrook, Tommy was instrumental in giving Talbot every opportunity to secure an important win right until the dying moments. His composure under pressure was on full display when he slotted a crucial goal late in the final quarter, bringing the Hawks back within eight points and setting up a thrilling finish.
Once again proving himself as one of the competition's fiercest competitors, Tommy accumulated 26 disposals, with his silky left foot put to use 23 times throughout the afternoon. He also recorded 15 contested possessions, 7 tackles, and 7 clearances in a dominant midfield display. Whether winning the hard ball, applying pressure around the contest, or driving Talbot forward, Tommy consistently influenced the game and led by example. His relentless work rate and ability to perform in key moments were major reasons the Hawks remained in the contest all day, making him a worthy recipient of the award for the third time in 2026.
