Absolutely great news, love Roughy, my favourite other club player. Never thought he'd play again, so to not only play but be appointed captain is just sensational, good luck for the future. 

[monoccular 16,665]

Great news for one of my favorite non MFC players. I always rated him as a far more important cog in Hawthorn's wheel than Frankenstein. 

I just hope they have not put too high expectations on a guy in remission from, and recovering from a life threatening illness.   Stress and pressure can at times be detrimental.

That's a bit Rough!

Great outcome.

Now we can get back to hating him.

Suprised the Whoreks have named him Captain. 

I would have thought just having him on the park would be enough...

They traded their captaincy away and kept the battered ,slow Hodge to point around the field.

Clarkson will be gone when it all backfires.

Well its good he has his health back,  but I don't wish he returns at his best,  making him captain is a desperate act.

I think Mitchell time was up,  but  getting rid of Lewis was stupid,  Hodge has nothing left this well be his last year where Lewis has 3 seasons left,  the hawks  had to let go champions slowly, but out of Lewis Hodge and Mitchell in terms  of age and still being one of the top players in the AFL Lewis is 1 Mitchell 2 and Hodge is 3, they held onto the one who should have put the team before himself, but that's good what they did,  the hawks think they are smarter then all the other great teams in history,  history has all ways shown that every empire will fall

Expect to see him dramatically improve with the sort of delivery into the forward 50 that Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis  bring to the Hawks......oh wait...

They didn't really get rid out Lewis - rather they offered him an ordinary way forward expecting him to fall into line. And he didn't.

I cannot wait for the 30 secs before the opening bounce in round 7. Just hope there's one camera dedicated to Jordan Lewis.

Will be great to see him confidently marshalling his troops all wearing the red and the blue against the leaderless Hawks. I reckon our junior brigade will walk very tall next to him and generally get around him.

Would also be interesting to have another camera fixed on Clarkson to see how much he's enjoying the scene unfold before him.

I want to own the Hawks from now on. In fact, our domination of them possibly commenced on 6 Aug 2016. No looking back now.

Roughy is, from all accounts, a great bloke.

 

As for Hodge .....

Fantastic news, I hope he never wins another game of footy though.
