Hodge or Goddard?

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Interested to know which player people would prefer.

Both very good utilities, great kicks and can play back, midfield and forward.

Hodge - Age 25, 150+ games, Premiership player, Dual All Australian, Club B&F, Norm Smith Medallist, U18 International Rules, U18 International Rules B&F...

Goddard - Age 24, 140+ games, Pre-season Premiership Player, All Australian, 2nd Club B&F, International Rules...

Who would you prefer?

goddard for his height and contested marking ability

 

[The Big League]

Ablett.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Goddard, very very well rounded player. Hodge is also well rounded, but he is more well rounded in the belly region

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Neither

 

[Power King]

Probably goddard, better utility in my opinion as he plays better tall

 

[Bic]

I'd take Jordan Russell over these two, but to keep the thread honest...

Goddard.

Goddard.

Lol... I hope that was a joke...

Goddard

 

[Hodgepodge]

Hodge. Better midfielder, better defender.

 

[yarran13]

Brendan Goddard easily for me. Brings more to the table.

 

[Alpha1]

Goddard gun, beautiful kick, can take the contested mark, finds his own ball, and kicks goals.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Neither

They'd both EASILY be West Coast's best player, idiot.

 

[thetank]

Hodge - greater presence on the field, and could be captain if Mitchell wasn't around.

 

[HolyWars]

Hodge.....bias intended

I'd say cox would still be best. imo.

Hodge.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Hodge might be shorter, but he is also a better ruck than Goddard

 

[Jaeger]

Hodge.

 

[jakson68]

Would be happy to take either of them

 

[Palmer Stoat]

Hodge, and by a fair margin.

Both similar players. Smart, versitile footballers who can play anywhere and hit targets. Goddard is probably a slightly better kick (really comparing a Ferrari to a Lambo) and probably has a bigger tank. Hodge is tougher with more presence and is a better leader. Both very football smart.

As for whos better, lets wait till St Kilda are crap and see if Goddard can carry the whole team on his shoulders like Hodge is currently.

Goddard is having his best ever season so far. And yet Hodge is playing just as good if not better, all in a rabble of a side. Hodge has more runs on the board. He has also won a premiership off his own boot.

I think Goddard if he keeps it up could square it up as he is a gun, Hodge has more runs on the board, probably hodge for now. Goddard has every chance to end up better. Both are capable of another level up.

Wouldn't swap Hodge for Goddard (or anyone)

 

[Slattery_20]

Goddard's a better kick, faster, better mark, and I'd prefer him taking a set shot.
Hodge has more mongrel about him.

Hodge.

 

[Histrionics]

Hodge, and by a fair margin.

Same.

****en love the way he plays footy.

 

[Turly]

I'd say Hodge, better leader, hard at the ball, kicks beautifully on both feet.

...?
I wouldn't pick out his opposite foot kicking as a strength.
