What a great result. Very happy for him and his family!http://m.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2017-01-20/hawthorn-announce-2017-leadership-group
Congratulations to the big fella, can't wait to see him back out there.
Hodge is likely in his last year so it's a good time to hand it over and transition with his guidance. The decision wasn't one made as charity or guesswork, it's a well thought out and heavily considered decision which really confirms that Roughead health and fitness is building nicely. Even if he doesn't get up for round 1, that doesn't make the decision a bad one.I'm surprised by this.
Not that Roughie isn't captaincy material, but the timing of it.
He has battled a very serious illness the last eighteen months. What is to say that he will be right to go in Round 1?
I think the Hawks should have waited until 2018. Have Hodge captain one more year. This way, the club can see how Roughie comes up, and if he doesn't have a relapse, or if he will play without medical problems this season.
Here's a question too. Is the medication he is taking for his cancer treatment not on the WADA banned list? I mean, WADA add things all the time. All that has to happen is for some sports scientist in Russia to find a way to use cancer medicine as a performance-enhancing drug, and it will be added to the list (I mean, heaven forbid someone take something to save their life, as long as it doesn't "improve their performance").

You gotta watch all the players using chemo drugs to bulk in the offseason.I'm surprised by this.

Knew it had to be a Geelong supporter who wrote this. Pathetic attempt at trolling.Here's a question too. Is the medication he is taking for his cancer treatment not on the WADA banned list?

The cancer medication he was taking was debilitating.
Nice attempt at a troll though, mate.

I'm sure I should be happy for Roughead but I feel for Lewis. I'm sure in some sense he felt one day he could captain the club he loved...now he's at Melbourne watching his mate become captain. I'm sure that stings a little bit.
I didn't actually read it it like that. I think he was having a bit of fun with the reporters, it's part of what makes him endearingGeez, just watched the live stream of his press conference on the Hawks website... gotta say, he really didn't want to be there.
Mind you, he had just come from the training track but still, was very short with his answers.
Was super defensive when asked how his knee was going. He replied by asking if the reporter watched him at training just then and what did he think. The reporter said he thought Rough was moving very well and Rough just said, "yep, thanks mate".
Personally I can't stand the media around AFL footy for the most part so I was actually loving it, and also keeping in mind he had just come off the track and hadn't even had time to call his wife before being swamped with questions (most of which were pointless like usual), BUT, as captain of the club now I hope he gets used to this sort of thing because it's only going to get more intense now.
Couldn't have put it better myself. Sh*t for brains postingI mean this in the nicest possible way, but can you kindly go **** yourself and never post your toxic bullshit on our board again. Thanks.
Of all the goodwill and outpouring of great sentiment that opposition fans have posted here today and throughout Jarryd's treatment - and you saunter on in here and post that utter crap.
And don't try and defend yourself with some 'was just asking a question' excuse. You should apologise for acting like a campaigner and go back to the Cats board with your tail between your legs.
lolAt $150,000 a pop i cant see too many Russian athletes experimenting with monoclonal antibodies as a performance enhancer.
Off the top of my head, I can think of three. All have shadows, but I think I know which of the three you are referring to.Can you remember the name of the guy who was at Geelong just before he toddled off to Essendon to continue plying his trade?
