Same, but a big contract would have netted Compo at no cost to lions

Yeah, will be pre-season draft by the looks of it, or a nominal pick if we want to get it signed off earlier.

Curious from your team's perspective - is there a half decent half-back prospect that this move will cost game time? I mean leadership is one thing - but if that costs a kid development which then in turn leads him to seek a homecoming trade like you guys often have to put up with - is that really worth it?

Probably because a lot of them give more than most to charity and are only human. Not sure the slur is necessary. (Mind you most are probably not on anywhere the same wicket as Gary)

Interesting that Niall has written this. I presume it's correct, but it would seem to run counter to what the CBA says about delisting players.

Different to my reading of it also. Would expect Niall to be more knowledgeable than me though so happy to back him.
I don't suppose this means any leverage re: rocliff

Not really, no. Harris Andrews is our future captain. The value of having Hodge down back with him will be immense.

im ok with this.
like Mitch his future is in coaching and they need to go elsewhere in order to broaden their knowledge and experience.
that and im not sure how much he still has to offer as a player.
happy to help Brisbane get the deal done on the condition that Hodge goes to Sicily when we play them, regardless of what part of the ground he's in.

No he didn't. Lethal retired, went to the Pies as a non-playing assistant, and got the main job after Bob rose was sacked.
As loyal as they come. Hodgey could have left Hawthorn many times over the years for more money but he stuck with us. In my mind he will always be up there with John Kennedy Snr, Arthur, Matthews, Hudson, Tuck, Dunstall, Brereton, Platten and Crawford as Hawthorn legends. I wish him all the best at Brisbane and will be watching and cheering for him.

Surprised to read they are offering two years for him. Thought he was showing some real signs of slowing down this year so one more year was possible but would be a risk.
Have no issue if he chooses to take up the Lions offer, he's been a legend of our club and this won't change that.

Ratten to coach Gold Coast is hardly news.
I passed that one on well before the home and away season was done.
Actually that was on my birthday, so it was yesterday. He also won it on my birthday in 2014. He always provided the best presents.
If you have Pick 88 we'd probably say, 'SOLD!' Well, it seems to be our MO of late.
I posted that yesterday. Happy bday!

Aramis, I really think you need to step outside and chill for a bit. There is no proof whatsoever so suggest Hodge had this planned since before he retired. Fages clearly approached him multiple times to twist his arm and up until 2 days ago the offer clearly wasn't juicy enough. Now it is, so only now has it become (or nearly become) a reality. At the very least, given everything he's done for the club you could give him the benefit of the doubt and actually take him at his word. You really owe him that much!
As for the one club memorabilia, just return it. They're not evil people, I'm sure they'd be quite understanding. It's not really a hard concept, particularly for an adult! I'm not really sure why this is an issue with you.
As for the news itself, the way I see it is Hodge has retired. He no longer plays footy. Any appearances on ground in a Lions guernsey is simply on field assistant coaching. He's there for neither personal nor team accolades (Brisbane ain't winning shit in the next 2 years). He probably won't even be expected to play full seasons. He's simply bringing back the good old days of player/coach. This is unlike Mitch who went with an reasonable opportunity to win another flag. Not a slight on Mitch in any way, just pointing out how I view the difference. This approach may seem like I'm burying my head in the sand a bit but **** it, I'll handle it however I want.

GAblett seems very money focused. His move to GCS was all about that and his move away, now that he is in the last year of a heavily front loaded contract stinks of money too. Comes across as a very average person for mine...
Then again, his genes aren't great in that area...
Won't somebody think of the merch?

So what does Hodge do in terms of appearing in the back of a Hilux on GF day?
If he knows he is going to brissy does he tell the AFL that he won't be appearing or does he still do given he has said he hasn't made a decision yet?
(FWIW i think he is going to take the offer given what he said on the footy show).
