You would think Tom Hawkins’ daughter Primrose would be siding with Geelong ahead of the AFL Grand Final showdown with Sydney.
Think again.
In a hilarious clip uploaded to Twitter, the champion full-forward, 34, revealed a newspaper image of himself next to Swans superstar Buddy Franklin.
Hawkins then playfully asks his daughter who she believes will win at the MCG, the Cats or Swans.
When the youngster unexpectedly replies the Swans, a bemused Hawkins declares ‘righto mate, this is where we part ways.’

Hawkins will be a key figure for Geelong in the forward pocket at the MCG come the first bounce from 2.30pm as the minor premiers look to cap off an impressive season with a flag.
The son of Cats legend Jack Hawkins has already won two premierships – in 2009 and 2011 – but a third would be relished as he reaches the twilight of his glittering career.
A keen farmer away from footy, Hawkins is already planning for life after he stops marking Sherrins.
Living on 62 hectares, the father of three loves nothing more than herding black Angus cattle on his expansive property.
He currently has 45 cattle on his books, and post footy Hawkins would like to grow the herd number to 150 or even 200.

Away from footy, the champion full forward loves spending time with his family and on their farm (pictured, with wife Emma)
‘A lot of my teammates say if the neighbour moves the cattle I then go out move the cattle because they think I’ve got no idea,’ he told the Geelong Advertiser this week.
‘My parents are farmers. My Dad is still there (on the family farm), he’s mixed – sheep, cattle and cropping but I’m mainly cattle.
‘I like cattle, that’s sort of my thing at home. (Farming is) fun. I enjoy it. It’s a nice outlet.’
The AFL grand final between Geelong and Sydney starts at 2.30pm at the MCG.
