This was great stuff. So interesting to hear his perspective on his own journey and his own comparisons with Judd. He clearly had a bit of guilt around how he started and the impact that had on the careers of the people who selected him. And the shift to half back thing was incredible.
How lucky are both the HI team and HI community that you decided to let us listen to your chat with Hodgey instead of providing a written article (which I'm sure would have been fantastic) but not the same as to get to hear from the legend himself. I'm sure you would have thoroughly enjoyed doing it Ash and I cannot thank you enough.
One thing that I did come away thinking was that unfortunately after hearing Hodgey speak about his move to Brisbane with his family and in particular his reference to his eldest son Cooper, that it pains me to say, that he more than likely if drafted will play for Brisbane. Hopefully though, fingers crossed, that the "Family Club" can convince him otherwise if and when the time comes for him to decide.
Looking forward to the second half of the season now and even more HI content ... GO HAWKS!!!
