The pressure always builds on early draft picks, and yes, Hodge copped it early too, as did the club when Judd hit the ground running.Kane Cornes doesn't rate him but Garry Lyon loves him. Take from that what you will. Do you honestly believe these guys give a fu** what dickheads like Cornes say about them?
Do you think Hodge or Clarko gave two shits about what anyone in the media said early on in Hodge's career? Wouldn't have thought so.
Tambling folded under the pressure of being taken before Franklin.
Phillips and North may be equipped to shut it out, but let’s be honest, if North have a poor year and Phillips doesn’t come on until 2023/24 like was suggested there will undoubtedly be lots of comments both in here, on social media and in the AFL media about that pick because it was judged as an odd selection the moment it was taken.
