Luke Hodge a Tiger in 2005
« on: July 29, 2004, 03:29:42 PM »
Everywhere I go...im hearing the same thing...Luke Hodge will be a tiger in 2005. The tigers apparently want to pick up the young uncontracted hawk for free in the PSD and supposedly Hodge wants to do what he always wanted to do as a kid...and thats play for the tigers. If its true...then our recruiting bounty should be plentiful come years end...picks 2 and 4 and 20 and 36= should see us pick up 2 quality young kids plus another two high potential players plus Hodge....let the rebuilding continue! :cheers

Mmm im starting to warm to this hodge character aswell. Has much more agro then both ball and judd but hodge is less talented then the 3. I remember hodge was going to bed an absoulote gun. He was like pettifer is at this stage which is good as a kid but struggling now. But i think with a new club and he will play with passion we could be very satisfied. part of our midfield rotating and another goal kicking midfielder. god this is getting exciting but i dont want to trade to get hodge. Cause that will be gay cause we will have to give up alot. I would rather get him for free in the psd. Please i wish.

As long as we only try to pick him up in the PSD or swap him for a Chaffey or Fiora say then go for it. But if we can only get him by giving up a draft pick then forget it. He a talented player, is still young and Hawthorn seem to have raps on him as a natural leader however he has missed a number of games through injury. The latter is what concerns me over Hodge. That's why I'm reluctant to give away a draft pick in exchange for him. The best scenario is obviously getting him for free in the PSD.

Luke Hodge = fringe player.

As MT said PSD or a fiora/rodan/chaffey swap.

Won't happen... Phil Mc doesn't rate him, and nor do I for that matter.

He'll be a much better player once he has the Hawthorn knocked out of him. :thumbsup

This one's on a plate for Miller.  Let's see how good he is.  He must have a word to Hodge and encourage him to nominate for the PSD.

I've stated previously that a mate of mine spoke to Hodge last year and he was very surprised how Hodge, being a senior Hawks player, spoke so passionatley about the tigers, and how much he still loves the club.  He also said he would still love to play for us.  He wasn't even drunk.  Whether my mate spiced up the story or not is another issue.

Can anyone confirm whether there is a rule within the AFL that would stop the Hawks re-drafting Hodge in the PSD if he refused to sign and nominated ?

Can confirm it

That's the rule HarryH.

An uncontracted player cannot be re-drafted by his former club once he nominates for the pre-season draft.

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..

PS- Miller has always said that he wants 2 or 3 players who have a touch of the mongrel in them...he wants leaders...thats why he wanted solomon...Hodge is a better play. If he comes for free in the PSD we should all be wrapt...also...Greg Miller has stated that you always target clubs in crisis to get your players from... Hodge fits every single Greg Miller criteria!
