I actually rate hodge...why

1) shows leadership
2) still very young- will play for another 10 years
3) outstanding razor like disposal...very clean...especially coming off half back or in the middle
4) has a fair amount of mongrel too..

Being able to pick up a ready made yet high quality and young midfielder for nothing with Cambo sadly on his last legs would be a major bonus for us.

If we scored Hodge and given we're still possibly an outside(?) chance of getting Travis Cloke via the F/S, we potentially this year could pick up 5 top 20 draft players in one draft (3 of which would be top 5 picks). That would be amazing if we are good enough to pull it off.

Some Hawk supporter rang up KB this morning saying he was concerned over rumours of Hodge leaving. Both Donald McDonald and Dunstall both said they want Hodge to remain at Hawthorn but didn't state that Hodge himself said he wants to stay a Hawk.

The Hawks rate him highly and are prepared to give him the carrot of being the next captain to pursuade him to stay.  The Hawks are pooting themselves and know there's a massive chance he will walk.

Does anyone know Millers email address.  I think a little friendly email won't go astray.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

Oh well  :-\

It wouldn't surprise me though if Miller still had a shot at him after last year's effort of flying all the way to London to try and get Solomon to Tigerland. A chance to get a quality player for nothing appears as often as Haley's comet.

I have a feeling we won't miss him. Hasn't done much to suggest he'll be anything more that a peripheral player. Been getting 15 touches a game this year with plenty of time in the midfield.

Oh well. Hawks got in just as we began sniffing.

Who else is possibly available for the PSD? Luke Ball still hasn't re-signed yet but I can't see him leaving the Saints just as they are peaking. Plus he would demand top dollar.

i would imagine perhaps miller was sniffing around so the hawks had to be proactive, "the don" would have had a field day if they cocked it up.

its important to let it be known out there that we are constantly looking at ways to improve our lists, as other clubs are also but i reckon having miller playing the game for us it could be making some of these other clubs a bit toey.

ahh just like the old days, i wonder if miller picked up some of his methods from the master. graeme richmond.
