Hodge 4 brownlow

[Hawka08]

Who can stop Hodgey? Goddard and Ablett are main threats now barlow has gone Chappy and a couple others are capable but i dont see any one getting close

 

[JewNoy]

Well the umpires can stop him. Never polled that well.
But i think he we will poll very well

 

[tarky]

Jobe Watson

 

[Hawka08]

jobe watson is a shadow of last year and i tend to agree with Quarters not an A-grader

 

[AG]

Hodge should poll well this year.

Watson is an A grader as well imo.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

I love Hodge.

Definitely deserves to win it.

 

[Quivorir]

Lol Watson is horrible. Hodge will poll well but who knows who will win it.

 

[Bobby Giovanni]

One of those players that everyone should love and enjoy watching play.

Goes at it exactly as we demand as a supporter, is pretty level headed, and one of those blokes you'd love to run in to at a BBQ and have a beer with.

 

[PUSSIES_07_FLAG]

No, No, NO!

Not Hodge!

 

[mehow2g]

Hodge is having a great season and with Hawks improving every week hes only gonna poll more.

 

[WALL-e]

Brian Donnelly.

 

[i_need_a_pencil]

Hodge is definitely my pick!

He's been my supercoach captain since Rd 1 and hasn't let me down yet so throughly deserving of it.

 

[grizzlym]

Well the umpires can stop him. Never polled that well.

There's no doubting his form, but as you rightly pointed out he's never polled well. And, off memory, even that is being generous.

But it begs the question: what changes to make a player poll well? Why do the umpires suddenly notice them?

I'm sure that media attention helps, and he has been in it a lot this year. For good reason too!

But, Ablett was favourite three years in a row, we all know how that went.

 

[mysainters]

I love BJ, but he has had a history of being grumpy to the umps...could work against him.

I think Montagna is a good chance, Lenny also proved last year he polls well.

 

[OldStyle2007]

Thread would have more cred if started by a neutral

 

[Macca18]

School holidays are awesome...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Well the umpires can stop him. Never polled that well.

Exactly.

 

[Moquo]

Hodge would be a worthy winner.

 

[Hawka08]

Essendon are traveling well at the moment please dont leave your stupidity on my thread, dont cry because your captain is not and never will be an A-grader or anywhere near as good as his father

 

[owenkraveki]

i bat off to luke hodge 4 times a night

 

[Donakebab]

Hodge is going well, but if current trends continue Goddard will win it.

 

[Cohzee]

Essendon are traveling well at the moment please dont leave your stupidity on my thread, dont cry because your captain is not and never will be an A-grader or anywhere near as good as his father

You have just ruined your own thread.

Despite the CDPR being the best all-round statistical measurement of a player's impact on the game (due to all the factors that go into it), obviously statistics aren't everything, so make of that what you will.

Who can stop Hodgey? Goddard and Ablett are main threats now barlow has gone Chappy and a couple others are capable but i dont see any one getting close

Must be nice to play on NO-ONE each week.... see how he goes with the best tagger in game shadowing him
