If Hodge plays next week and the cats go him (which they will) it has all in brawl written all over it.
The footy match is going to be a cracker - but who will win the fight?
It will be interesting next week. Good chance that Rooke was going to be playing on Hodge... now it's almost certain. Max will make Hodge feel it, and if he has an influence on the game with Max's physical presence on his tail, then kudos to him.

I have a feeling that Max Rooke will go to Hodge at the opening bounce and test him out early.
I'd expect the same in reverse if a Geelong player had a rib injury, with Campbell Brown going to the injured player.
Should be a great game

'Brown, Hodge, Bateman, Robbie Campbell, Guerra, Sewell, Renouf, Lewis, Dew and Ossie' says the Hawks will.
Re: Hodge
There is no way the guy was coughing up blood because of a serious injury - he probably just had a cut in his mouth or something.
I can understand TV commentators building it up, but if the injury was so serious, and he came back on to play the rest of the game, the week before a grand final, when his side is coasting to victory, he's not a hero, he's an idiot..

Don't go judging him on the standards you'd set for Lloyd or FcMee.
There's a well worn path for Hawks champions to be playing through injury when it matters. He'll be right; maybe a little yarn to Dipper and The Kid through the week just to remind him.

We all know what happened the last time a Geelong player 'tested a player out' at the centre bounce in a GF!
first big contest - hodge is going down....Sarlo will also target f@#klins wrist - it wont be behind play it will all be legit
will be interesting to see how the hawks run out the game if they go down a player early and with 1 days less recovery...
this has cakewalk written all over it

He'd be hard pressed to understand anything Dipper says
When it matters? When your side is almost 10 goals up at half time? If he was that badly injured, there is no way he should have come on after half time.

Good to see that you won't have a problem with someone from the hawks testing out a troublesome ankle early in the game. Could be a job for changa
whose ankle will that be?

Several posts have mention if Geelong go Hodge and Hawthorn respond, this may work in Hawthorn's favor.
If Geelong are seen as the flag favorites, need to attack Hodge then and this bring me back to Dermie and how he wrote last year that he was scared of Essendon, in that article he explained that the brawl at the start of the 1985 GF
Was the turning point at which Hawthorn started to dominate Essendon and that is what Dermie meant in his line in the sand message for what Dermie was really saying was don't backdown, hold your gound in doing this you send a clear message that if you want to beat us to better well beat us.
point being when teams have tried to rough up Geelong they have not responded except on the scoreboard ,if Geelong started on Hodge I would image Hawthorn will feel the battle is half run for it would be a change from Geelongs normal game.
Both Bomber and Clarkson were tough footballers and not known for backing down and that is how I expect this game ot be played.
Hodge played quite well last night while I would have taken him off he stikes me as an intellient person. I would play him this week, the arguement that he might get injuried misses the point that in any game of footy you have guys who are not 100% fit and is Essendon were shown up in 2001 but Brisbane still had to beat Essendon which they did.
For every 2001 there is a 1989 with Dermie and Dipper, both of whom were more injuried than Hird was in the 2001 GF

I was assuming he was talking about Ablett but I don't think he has much of a case for a dodgey ankle.

You assumed correctly and he still appears a little proppy.
Not saying it is going to happen, my point is I would prefer that it be a legit game of footy. If you have to line up targets right from the outset, well it says a lot about where your mind is at.
They don't have to line him up they just have to make sure every time he is near the football he feels some contact.
