A clone of Luke in leadership and courage , if Dylan is around late 3rd round / 4th round I think as a long term prospect with a good few pre-seasons he would be a steal.

    Think Dylan’s modest performances probably have a rookie spot as his best chance. There’s very little to go on based on performance, so any club taking him is gambling purely on potential.

    Wouldn’t be surprised to see him come back as an overage player next season and give the TAC Cup a crack when his body’s in better knick.

    New highlights reel on AFL website

    http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-10-21/hawks-skippers-brother-a-draft-smokey

    Very late draft pick or more likely rookie chance.

    He was injured and couldn't participate in the combine. Has dropped a number of kilos of late to improve his chances. Not quick, but neither is Luke.

    From Knightmare on BF:

    "I've seen the highlight and seen him play live enough times. Strong bodied marking forward and strong 1v1 in the marking contest. He just isn't quick. Doesn't find much of it. More improvement is required before he gets a chance I would have thought."

    Guaranteed a spot at box hill Hawks next season.

    Could be a player after spending a couple of seasons training in the hawthorn system.

    Sounds like we should watch him and see if they get his body right and pounce before they do, but no reason to jump in right away. If his surname was anything but Hodge he'd be no chance.

    Went to a function a couple of months ago that Dylan spoke at.

    I've got no idea whether he can play or not, those highlights above are all I've seen of him.

    But he was one of the most impressive kids I've ever come across. Articulate, polite, funny and mature. Obviously got a wise head on young shoulders, just a well brought up country kid.

    As an aside he's chosen footy over an extremely promising cricket career having focused on cricket for much of his junior days.

    Rookie him.

    Got a lot of positives (strength, marking, set shots, disposal) and the negatives can be worked upon (tank, pace, reading the play).

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
