Hodge is the most overrated player in the AFL

[Hodgepodge]

Franklin will be arguably the greatest (barring major injury)

Modify this to "among the greatest" and it may just prove to be accurate. I also have to agree with the sentiment that Hodge is being judged pretty harshly on the basis of a handful of mistakes in a close game.

IMO, which I've stated before even whilst arguing with Hawks posters, Franklin and Hodge are elite. Having 2 of the top 5 players in the comp is why they are a good team.

Hodge is NOT top 5.

Ablett, Franklin, Judd, Cox, Brown, Pavlich, Bartel, Riewoldt, Scarlett are all easily ahead of him.

Hodge is all reputation. He does a few good things in a game and commentators go hee, no where near consistent enough for a supposed 'elite' of the competition.

As I said in my post above. I rest my case..

Which post? The one a few above mine?

The one in which you called everyone who criticised him idiots and how they would not be able to play in the AFL without giving any reasons as to why Hodge should be classed as elite?

Rest your case of course - you haven't ****ing got one!

Re: Are we going to have anti-Hodge threads every time he has a mare?

It's funny how the carlton fans have jumped all over this thread, even though it's clearly a troll by a rugby league supporter who supports two sides in the NRL.

You don't average 110 supercoach points without consistency.

So you obviously did read my post!!
Of course I will criticise anyone that says Hodge is not amongst the elite in the league..Just a stupid, stupid comment to make..As for the players you have ahead of him, I think most on this site would beg to differ. Hodge is a all class. Did you happen to watch the game last night? A class above!!
If you are going to shoot off your mouth with ridiculous statements, then surely you must expect to get a little backlash..

 

[mimsroos_30]

LOL bullshit.

Of course I would take Hodge in a heart beat. He is a gun player.

Would I take him over Bartel, Ablett, Franklin, Brown, Cox, Judd, Riewoldt, Pavlich etc? Not on your life!

Well for a start you are comparing players that play in different positions..Ridiculous comparisons and as for comparing the likes of Riewoldt to Hodge, that's just insulting. Has Riewoldt ever earnt a kick in his life? Soft soft soft. As for Pavlich and Cox being better, that's a matter of opinion too.
Hodge is EASILY in the top 5 players in the league. Ablett is brilliant, any idiot knows that and Judd is a champ [although I despise the bloke]

Thanks mimsroos_30. I wish I had of read your post. You would have saved me the bother to type. I neally choked when Riewoldt was put ahead of Hodge. ffs. Is it kindergarten playtime in here tonight?

It might be hard to compare players in different positions but lets put it this way: If I was to start a team from scratch, Hodge wouldn't in the top 5 players I pick for my team.

And I would say a lot would agree with me.

Look, Hodge is good but he is not top 5.

Oh and you still haven't named your top 5 players.....you said Ablett, Judd and Hodge so who are the other two?

I wasn't aware the job of a CHF is to dive under packs and thrash out handballs

Just because Riewoldt isn't as 'hard' as Hodge doesn't mean he is no good. The guy is a gun with his gutless running and goal kicking ability and would walk into any side in the competition.

 

[The Kipster]

Hodge an over-rated player......outside of your club then, who wouldn't have him play in their team?.

and travels wonderfully when Stkilda are going well..When the going gets tough, he is nowhere to be found.
My top 5?? Ablett, Franklin, Judd, Hodge and I could put about another five players in fifth position..

Those 4 plus Jonathan Brown are top 5 for me.

But the others named are valid contenders. I really can't see the point in rubbishing Reiwoldt who is clearly right up there, as are Bartel and Pavlich. Whether we're talking top 5 or top 10, we're talking absolute elite.
