Hawthorn’s Luke Hodge Chats With DT TALK

Today, DT TALK met with Luke Hodge at Aurora Staduim. Off camera we chatted about a few DT issues.

Hodgey said… (but not quoted 100%)

  • Wade Skipper is a lock for round 1 for the Hawks if Renouf has not returned, although Renouf is recovering well, but Skipper still is a good pick!
  • Liam Shiels is training the house down and is a massive favourite of the Hawks coaches and is a sure thing to start Rd 1.
  • Clinton Young is very unlikely to return early in 2010 and is struggling a little, so look for him to return early/mid season.
  • Rick Ladson is also in the same boat as Young, but in a better position and should return quicker, but unlikely for Rd 1.
  • Xavier Ellis is having abig pre-season and says he always get big scores… but we’re not sure if he just told Warnie that to screw him over again!

  1. Ladson news could cause a few backlines to be re-structured – wait and see I guess

  2. If anyone gets along to the intra-clubs this week, email us a bit of a review of it. We’ll post it up here for all to see!

    • Esssendon Intra club match report has come out, with Prismall and Mcveigh “impressing general managers.”
      Others who impressed:

      “The two-hour hit-out saw a number of players putting their hands up for contention for a berth against West Coast with Patrick Ryder, David Hille, Angus Monfries and Jason Winderlich all looking impressive.”

  3. I’m going to the Brisbane V Dogs pre-season match. Plus despite being a Brizzy fan I’m going out to my local footy oval in a week to meet the Bulldogs players as the are doing some team thing with my footy club. I’ll hopefully find out some information for you guys

  4. Is that an old photo? I don’t recognise who that is on the right of the photo if it isn’t Stewy Dew!
    Have you seen the boys train? If you have, what did you think of the look of Jordan Lewis?

  5. ladson out then, was going to take him out if he didn’t feature in nab cup anyway. does anyone know how garland is travelling? from memory he was just coming into some dt form last year before injury?

    • Garland only played one game last year. He scored 74 though. I wouldn’t get too excited about him. Only now just started sprinting and kicking, still not training with the main group. Melbourne have a surplus of decent tall backman so he’s not going to be rushed back.

  6. more importantly lads, how is hodgey? looking to set the DT world on fire?

  7. Ladson play round 1 you bastard :P

  8. Join this dt league 309354

  9. anyone got stokes?

  10. ladson is gone for me now, not picking ne players without a proper pre-season

  11. Good to hear my boy X is doing the biz, Calvin. He was first picked this year.

  12. Hodgey is looking sharp…. doing all pre-season and you need not to be worried.
    Locked for me!

  13. Malceski might come in for Ladson…..

    Thoughts ???

  14. keeping ladson!,, no preason worries me
    but with his potential and his price, its
    hard to go wrong even if he does have a slow start
    or whateverrr :)

  15. I may be completely wrong, but I had the impression that Hodgey will miss the first or first couple of rounds of the home and away series from being reported last year??.. Can anyone comfirm this?

  16. Had Buckley in my side over Ladson in the backline until the NAB Cup just because. Now Bucks will likely stay

  17. marcus drum a good replacement for ladson?

  18. been thinking drum myself but think hunt is the better option for value in geelong backline, also safer in 22 imo

  19. whose the best replacement for ladson, hunt buckley drum or even my main man raines?

  20. I take it we are talkin Josh Hunt not Taylor Hunt…..

    • Why the hell would We want to change the Australian flag. Your answer Can only be one thing The union Jack. Do you really dislike your heritage that much, are you so upset by what and who the foundations of our fucking fantastic coutry are based on that you want to try and remove there heritage off of our flag.

      The game that you worship was invented By an Australian man with ENGLISH born parents, who spent alot of his younger years in English schools before coming back to Australia.

      Dont get me wrong I am Australian through and through but pull your head out of your ass and get to grips wih who you are and where you come from before you start bagging MY national flag.

  22. did hodgey have anything to say about burgoyne?

  23. did you ask hodgey if he is picking himself from round 1 this year calvin

  24. What time will DT TALK will be uploaded today?

  25. Hopefully finish it off first thing in the morning with Chop. Then up by lunch time (fingers crossed).

  26. Great insight guys, that has already confirmed two changes too my team.

    Xman in, Ladson out

  27. Hey calvin, roy and warnie
    ladson is very good value but not playing round 1, does anyone know when he is he expected to play? also beau waters is dirt cheap aswell is he worth a punt with all the injuries his had as he might be a money maker haha?
