Congrats roughy! Got to thank hodge for his service as captain. Best in my time following the hawks and it's hard to see anyone topping that but I'm sure roughy will do a great job.

 

[Glorin]

This appointment, here and now says a lot of things about where Roughy is at with his health and where the club is as a whole.
I am so pumped for this season it hurts....

I'm not crying you're crying

Great pick. He'll be a great leader.

And I like the leadership team as well. Nice pick on the vice captains. This announcement has it all.

A true great – 4 time premiership, coleman winning cancer conquerer.

Awesome Call by the club. A new look Hawthorn needs a new captain. What a man to do it.

Luke Hodge, Enjoy a slightly more relaxed year where you can just go about your football. As the one of the most fiercest, toughest and all around inspirational captains the game has ever seen, you've earned it.

I was checking tweeter for AO updates snd this is what I found.

Exciting time ahead. Thank you Hodgey... Happy for Roughy

A huge vote of confidence in the big fella.
I think it is safe to assume Royghy will be playing most of this season, which is also great news.
Also thanks to Hodgey. A true legend of this club.

 

[Super Hans]

This is the best.

Not surprised in the slightest.
Absolute top shelf quality, even if packaged in trackies and thongs.
Well done Rough!

Huge congrats to Roughie on becoming the captain of the Greatest Club in the land.

Huge thank you to Luke Hodge who could be reasonably considered our greatest ever captain.

 

[Roddy]

Can't congratulate him enough, for getting over the cancer, and being made captain of the greatest sporting club in Australia!

 

[StillAtLarge]

I've never been so happy to have a rough start to the day
