Luke Hodge

If I was Dimmer, I'd be playing that to them, saying this is a bloke who's done everything in football almost, and he's still putting the club before himself.

This is the mindset that other young blokes should start to trend between it.

trend towards and there's no doubt that Danger early on had a little bit of the Gold Coast mindset because all young kids do to get drafted especially high but listen to how he finished his career let's start to take a little bit of a mindset like that

I think so.

More so the fact that what he's been able to handle, and leadership comes on field, off field, and being able to focus on certain things when things aren't going your way in a personal life, and then you add on what

he's gone through and that's just to another extent which no one you couldn't even dream you couldn't even think about what he and his family have gone through to show his mental strength to be able to handle himself how he did we were lucky enough on channel 7 last week to sit down and Haim interviewed him

You can see the pain post-game.

You can see when he talks how much hurt he is.

But footy's that freedom for him just to go and release himself.

So for him to be able to perform how he has with what he's gone through, I think everyone would stand back and just say he's definitely one of the better leaders that we've seen over the years.

And I interviewed Bont on the same night and sort of mentioned

how much admiration and how much do you admire him?

And he spoke that highly of him that we need to do something on field because he's just got that mental strength and they weren't able to.

He had three goals in the first quarter and went and did what he did.

So kudos to what Jordan Dawson has been able to do.

But yeah, what he's been through, it's numbing how painful he must be.

Yeah, I know when I got drafted, you had Shane Crawford there who is as good a lead as what I've seen as far as lead by your actions.

This is the next level.

This is someone who is totally committed to the course of what they needed to do.

So if you've got any young person coming to an AFL club, especially Adelaide, you sit there and go and just follow what this person does, how he acts, how he is, the kind of person he is on the field, off the field, a great role model for any young footballer, whether Adelaide or not, coming through the system to someone.
