Murp........nanot sure we have a player that would/could do that - cripps probably.........
Nope.I'll probs get shot down for saying it. But if we can get Sicily on the cheap as part of a goodwill trade from Hawthorn. I say yes please.
Hodge yes, but Jack Ziebell is not a star.
Nothing more than a good ordinary footballer.
If we had Brad Scott as our coach i would be totally embarrassed, what a flog.

In public... have you never played football before? Some players respond to a spray and I'm sure Brad Scott would know that. This is AFL football not u/10's.
I'm sick of everything thats caught on camera being turned into a big issue, political correctness is getting out of control. Majak Daw is probably one of the best physical specimens in the AFL and he plays with the same endeavour as Andrejs Everitt, I'd be frustrated too especially since he dropped Goldstein and this was one of Daw's biggest opportunity.
Whilst I'm ranting I'm also sick of reading people questioning players character in this thread. Whitfield made a mistake, he got caught, he partook in something that players do in every single AFL club and you are completely naive to think our youngsters are angels. Young men on high salaries combined with a public profile the problem will always be there. If we can forgive Charlie Curnow for his stuff up why put a line through a Whitfield type, who would be perfect fit for our club?

Physical is one thing but just plain nasty and trying to injure the opposition is another......ask Murphy what he thinks of him!!! ask Wingard how it feels to be bending down to pick the ball up for the kick in after it goes through the points and get your head bumped into the post!!! (also it was a very late bump!!!) He tried to tunnel Dangerfield the other night by lifting him up around the waist and then tried dumping him on his back, but Paddy marked the ball in spite of all that and the umpire said to "the dog"(hodge) to keep your arms up, meaning go for the ball not the man..........he is and always has been a HAWS THUG.......just like that prick coach of theirs "clarko" was when he played at Melb and NM and king hit Ian Aitken (Carlton) and broke his jaw in an exhibition game in London when he came from behind and king hit him!!! So I do not want a thug/sniper/dog like hodge at Carlton anytime thanks.......by the way, his hit list is endless and I have often heard Dermie say that the haws like players with a nasty streak in them.......he should know about all that the dog!!! I equate playing the man as outside the rules as it is a cheap shot and the same as cheating!!! I would hate to be playing on hodge in the last round where he has nothing to lose if he gets suspended..........the BLOODY THUG!!! p.s. not saying he has not been a great player for the HAWS.Both stars and certainly played on the edge. The game is a physical game that has been sterilised by the AFL. We'd be lucky to have Hodge as an assistant imo. Would be a brilliant get.
same here.......they did give their all to get their teams across the line.As much as he was a sniping thug I agree with this. I don't believe you can teach his brand of thuggery. If you ever wanted a player to take a game on and say 'we ain't losing this" unfortunately 3 players that come to mind are 3 of my least favourite characters - voss, hird, hodge.
yada yada yada . how many premiership to hawks in past 20 years? How many to carlton?

Hodge was the best player in the best draft. Not sure why we are debating his onfield career around here. His career is so far in front of Chris Judd's that it isn't funny. Does that make him a good coach? Maybe or maybe not. But surely we owe it to ourselves to do some due diligence as to whether he'd be a benefit to our off field setup.
Strongly disagree. Love hodge and dermie. Hodge closest thing to perfect footballer. The dirty stuff has to be done by someone. Multiple prems and norms. Enough said. And fwiw both very good blokes off the feild.Physical is one thing but just plain nasty and trying to injure the opposition is another......ask Murphy what he thinks of him!!! ask Wingard how it feels to be bending down to pick the ball up for the kick in after it goes through the points and get your head bumped into the post!!!

Eh ....no thanks. Old Carlton attitude right there'..the kind of attitude that got us in our current position.
Good point.
I think defenders (Or defensively minded mids/players) make the best coaches
Judd is clearly the better player.
If Hodge was playing for Carlton & Judd for Hawthorn. Judd's career would also be way ahead
People should always consider the cattle when making big statements. Burgoyne, Mitchell, Rioli, Roughead, Lewis etc made it much easier Hodge
As for coaching, l think Hodge may be good. I think he will do Media instead
