Luke Hodge

[smashbox]

Anyone considering him in defence? Proven scorer who could average 100+

Not with Mitchell and Suckling both down back already.

Not with Mitchell and Suckling both down back already.

+1. Would love to, but Suckling may become Hodge after ripening.

Simpson as well has that bye.

Walker, Hurn, Heater.

But yes, too many Hawks (if that isn't blasphemy Lord Jeff).

I would love to pick him up after his bye, and with Mitchell, Simpson, and Suckling in my team already it'd be madness start Hodge as well. I expect him to be one of the top defenders by the end of the season though.

Really depends on how many Round 9 bye players you have overall - If you can still get 18 scorers on field that is OK but will be a risk with 3 or 4 defenders out though.

Mitchell , Suckling , and maybe Langford don't know if I can squeeze any more Hawks in

[HotTiges]

Not massively wild getting Hodge in, maybe after the bye

[ubeaut]

Mitchell is an upgrade target 4 me. But I'm starting Walker and prob Suckling maybe Langford.

Hodge won't be as prolific as he has been he'll play defense a lot and maybe with a variety of roles. Injury is still a worry although he played 20 games 2013. Still he only averaged around the same as Hanley,Thompson,Hibberd,Simpson,Shaw,Murphy.

Any particular reason/s people think he'll go 100+? There aren't many high SC scorers at the Hawks they share it around even more than the Swans in terms of points.

If u do think that why not start him as a POD over Mitchell?

Too injury prone
