Injury Hodge out... again

[Phil McCreviss]

Geezus what's next? He wasn't playing great but I don't want Lewis to be captain I don't want him in the team but of course he'll be there screwing up ... Why can't Mitch step in why?i didn't even know hodge had gone down against the the play things

Do you really think Mitchell being captain will be the difference between a win and loss? Seriously one of the most uneducated posts I've ever read.

Hardwick needs to come in now

I'll stick with Clarko thanks

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

want to help me hold him down and make him have the damn op?

Well if you insist

 

[Noneedforaname]

All the best for him. But please don't let him rush his rehab.

He (and we) could really be in a good place with him coming back in the 2nd half of the season. How fresh will Hodge and Rough be once they get some match fitness.

Massive opportunities for people to put their hands up.

That's saying something Phil, unless you've never been on the main board

I'll stick with Clarko thanks

Quality

 

[Steven Tyler]

No, I think it can be fixed because I heard/read somewhere before the season started that he was going to get it fixed at the end of the season and just play with it taped up until then. I wondered at the time why he hadn't got it fixed over the break

Edit: It seems it needs an operation to fix it which he has elected not to have and will just play with it taped up or whatever. Maybe he doesn't want to get it fixed then.

He had the op yesterday

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

He had the op yesterday

That was for his knee, we were talking about the one for his finger.

Hoping this isn't Hodgey's last year

 

[Gunstall555]

I've stumbled across some leaked footage of how Hodge's latest knee injury occurred...

I hope this is taken in the light-hearted manner it is intended

Contact below the knees, free kick Hawthorn.

Don't see it. Been unlucky with a break and now meniscus tear.

Expect he will definitely go around again in 2017, as will Mitch and Gibbo.

Burgers might call it a day though.

Out: Hodge
In: Hartung

Like for like.

Brand for Frawley, Langers for Lovell...

Geez, even when I'm being a complete smeggin *******, I still managed to nail it.

 

[FisherHawk]

Big out, and bad luck. I'd rather an out of form Hodge playing than not at all. He's our Captain/Coach when playing, fearless, inspiring and directs the play. Shhhhhh the doubters

 

[Manila_Hawk]

I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but.....

Why isn't Mitch the Captain when Hodgey is absent ? Or Burgers even ?

Personally I don't see Lewis as a leader..... Just my opinion.

I'm as unhappy with Lewis's form as anyone, but they aren't the acting captain because they aren't vice captains. Doesn't really matter they're leaders anyway.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

It shouldn't be a big deal anyway. As has been said before, we have many experienced players who are leaders on the field, Mitch and Burgers amongst them. Lewis has captained us many times in Hodge's absence, as he should bring one of our VCs. Quite frankly, this is the least of our worries at the moment.

Get down to a training session. Lewis is very vocal and demanding. In a side laced with youth and inexperience the need for a strong voice to give guidance and direction is paramount. I imagine Burgers would be the quite achiever and Mitch " been their, done that ".

Maybe because the players and coaches voted him Vice Captain

H9w long will hodgey be out for,?

 

[TazHawk15]

H9w long will hodgey be out for,?

4 to 6 weeks.

A mere mortal would be 10 weeks.

Silver lining is that Ryan Burton will be getting to spend a lot of quality time with Hodgey and Roughy in the rehab group.

Ryan was immediately nominated as the designated driver.

Too soon?
