News The good bloke cometh - Luke Hodge to Brisbane

[Lazza16]

Talking footy has Hodge interested in joining lions

 

[Football Pope]

Pretty sure he said he was off to Carlton yesterday....
Offers coming in for him are roughly 4 years at 400k a year roughly. So compensation would be minimal.

Although Port still regards Trengove as a required player, it might consider allowing him to go if he receives an offer that would net the club an attractive compensation pick.
The leadership group member is on a lucrative contract at Port believed to be worth more than $600,000 a season, but any rival offers are more likely to fall in the mid-$500,000 range, which should net the Power a second-round pick.

Hodge said we have a good young list.

Coaching or playing? Or both?

Playing

Both.... and all thought it is a win-win for the Lions.

edit.....I took it to mean both, but my interpretation may be wrong on that.

That article was close to a month ago now. Offers currently at 400k though.

Sounds like it is a fair way down the path of getting it done. Would be an amazing get for you guys if it happened.

So in a case like this, do we pick up Hodge as a delisted free agent or do we orchestrate a trade out of respect similar to (not 100% sure it was him) Josh Kelly?

Both.... and all thought it is a win-win for the Lions.

Loved watching that a few minutes ago. So rarely do we get a pat on the back segment on any footy show. Hope it comes to fruition.

 

[MacMum]

Will be rapt if it happens..

the way Hodge spoke, it seems its happening for sure...

Wasn't disagreeing with you ...what I was eluding to.....He wont be going anywhere on that coin..

Port still regards Trengove as a required player, it might consider allowing him to go if he receives an offer that would net the club an attractive compensation pick.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Credit to Sam McClure he has been saying this could happen for weeks. No one else has followed him in.

 

[Football Pope]

Just got a text from the club....

"Discussions have taken place between the Lions and Luke Hodge's manager"

 

[Gibbo_88]

He sounds pretty keen on what we've offered him. Just need to have a family discussion.

 

[jackess]

Surely we wouldn't be promoting this if we weren't confident.

Telling

 

[blions2001]

Just got a text from the club....

will be a great coupe for young list....will lift standards and will be an eye opener for quite a few players to learn what it takes to reach the summit..

 

[Lazza16]

Interviewed Hodge n looks positive

will be a great coupe for young list....will lift standards and will be an eye opener for quite a few players to learn what it takes to reach the summit..

And maybe a fantastic coach in 4 yrs time

I doubt we’d ask for anything mate - he would go with our best wishes. Similar to Mitch.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Sounds very promising.

 

[lioninthesand]

Will happen, players dont say what he did publically then change their mind.

It will get done. Luke Hodge will be a Lion in 2018.

 

[WA Lion]

The fact that Lions have followed it up with another tweet on the matter would suggest they are confident

 

[The Bear]

Hodge: "Both parties are interested"

YES!!!!
