Toast Luke Hodge - 300 games in the Number 15. Brilliant player and a 'good bloke'.

Hoping for an announcement of an extension but either way, what an amazing player he is. Once in a lifetime type player

Club legend and quite possibly AFL legend

Finish it off like you've played for the last 16 years champion!

Sorry to intrude guys, but I just wanted to say congratulations and all the best to an unbelievable footballer in Hodge for both his 300th and his retirement. I have always had a particular admiration for his courage and leadership, and have truly enjoyed watching him play for so long. His resume speaks for itself. It would be a fitting win on the weekend against the modern enemy in Geelong! Well done Luke Hodge.

Gulp, listening on the radio, can hear the emotion in his voice Love him to bits

 

[Roddy]

One of the true greats of this club and the entire game, and one of the most decorated. Magnificent effort, you will be missed.

 

[Billyc]

Legend.

 

[bumsonseats]

He can take over as the club development officer and academy coach

[TheAnt]

One of the GOAT leaders.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

I knew it was coming. But I feel weirdly numb hearing the news that the King is leaving the stage. Long live the King.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Absolute champion of the game and tough as nails. Well done Hodgey on an outstanding career

 

[2121]

I'm suresure you lot will be a lot more happier come end of the year when you land either Martin or fyfe

 

[Baz_hawk]

Devastated.

A legend of the Hawthorn football club, a general, a leader and a damn good player. It's feels like the end of an era when he hangs up the boots. Will be sorely missed and I hope we keep him as he has all the attributes to help develop our future leaders.

Thank you Hodgey.
