Re: Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Pre Game Pontifications - cimm1979 - 07-19-2015
White went to Fyfe because of his size. He was being groomed for the role from the start of the year, he said so in an interview.
Are Hodge and Mitchell his type of guys or would it be Holman, Curnow and Carrots?
Re: Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Pre Game Pontifications - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-19-2015
Carrots and Curnow have played on Mitchell before and none have been successful but there is always a first time....White on Hodge or Lewis might be worth watching although I have the feeling Cripps might get Lewis for company and some extra treatment.

I do like White to Hodge, but only for the reasons Kruddler suggested.

We have been competitive in our last two 2 games against them, the first of those we were totally screwed by the umps.

Always remember Robbo lined up Hodge and got him but the Hawks skipper got up and smiled while Robbo looked like he ran into a brick wall and was worse for wear...

Like for like, give the kid something to look up to in the future.
White to Hodge.....bring the popcorn. >
As much as I like White, Hodge is about 20x smarter, more cunning, more experienced, and more protected. As Bruce would say, "an ornament to the game." I don't see this ending well, assuming it eventuates.

Robbo used to knock him self out for fun.
White is a far more robust individual.

Hodge may be all of those things, but Fyfe would have Hodge covered at present and White did the job on him.

Hmm....... I can see your point to an extent. I think Hodge is much more of a sniper than Fyfe. I think Fyfe has demonstrated on several occasions that he has a hair trigger temper, and I reckon could be provoked with minimal effort. He is pretty blatant and lacks subtlety. Hodge on the other hand will get away with much more, under the radar. Sneaky (*&^%.

Given we realistically aren't going to win, Id like us to adopt the Karate Kid model, and put a few of these blokes out of commission.
To, even in a small way, scuttle their top 4 and premiership aspirations would give me alot of pleasure.
