Luke Hodge

He kept getting treatment and stuff to keep himself moving.

But with a corky, I assume that the more you move, the more blood flow you get in there.

So that's, yeah, ideally he's 100% this week.

Oh, look, it's hard to compare apples to oranges, but in terms of what he's been able to do for us, I started at the same time as him.

very grateful for him to be part of our footy club at that same time because he's just made such a difference to us.

His growth as an individual, as a leader, and as a player has taken us on an incredible journey the last four years.

Yeah, what a player, what a professional.

He does things that I don't think I've seen others do.

I saw a young Simon Black come into the game as a player and he had an incredible career, Simon Black himself, and this guy's got every attribute to be one of the great players of all time.

What can he jam into his next... What else can he do?

Well, a few more premierships would be nice, wouldn't it?

I think he's destined to be a leader of this footy club.

It's just...

It's a matter of when, and he already is.

I think there's always an evolution of everyone.

We're all evolving, playing different roles and all those sort of things.

No, Bobby's on a plan.

He's on a pre-season mode that we've got the eye on long term.

You watch him train today, he looks lively and excited and the agility's back.

We'll just stick to the plan.
