The recruiters of Hawthorn and st kilda never thought Judd would be a Hodge of ball
Deledio is not Hodge but he's not 35 yet. I doubt anyone would call him a champion. But who knows. Who is yo say he won't end up with a couple norm Smiths
In regards to the recent lids is soft trend of of recent which I believe such talk is unjustified.
In regards to the not being hood enough to dominant as a tag breaking mid, I think this is somewhat neieve. The way the sport is changing coaches are not hiding the beat player as a back pocket. But exploitation of the zones, flooding and using the best kick as the quarterback. Attacks commonly start of a hbf. Not the scums of the middle.
McVeigh and lukehodge are not lesser players for playing behind the ball
