Many would have thought the same thing about White going to Fyffe.
Though I do suspect that White will go to someone else in the midfield. Put Yazz on Hodge, he's got a killer left hook >

Hodge is the best in the business at avoiding getting hurt while the other player comes off second best. Must be his awareness and/or timing - knowing how to brace himself and dip a shoulder or whatever. Remember how he and Murph went for the ball (allegedly ???) at the same time.

I admire Hodge. A bloody good hard player.
I wish we had a couple like him.
Re: Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Pre Game Pontifications - PassIt2Carrots - 07-21-2015
I respect him but also dislike him.

Then Hawthorn would be given a priority pick for the damage White did in potentially shortening Hodge's career through injuring a fist!

Yarran forward
Henderson back
Docherty into the midfield
Re: Round 17 Carlton vs Hawthorn Pre Game Pontifications - Vivian - 07-22-2015
Like the prospect of Yarran forward, but he could go missing quite badly. Our desperate need for good ball use across half back has meant some have played there when they perhaps seem more naturally a forward.
Difficulty with playing hawthorn is that they dont play a conventional forward set up. Their only true KP is roughhead and he often roams about. Henderson might have a hard time keeping up with him. Given our team balance henderson will probably stay forward, as how can we play rowe, jamison and henderson back?
Really lacking run at the moment, so we are going to have to work very hard to match it with a team that combines standout skills with an ability to maintain structure better than any. Hopefully we can shut them down, and keeping them to a low score is probably a major aim, even more so than actually scoring ourselves. Its not like we can hope to match them in a shoot out in any case
Congratulations to the club for a good promotion this week. Taking us back to 1995 with old food prices is smart marketing ( hate to imagine the cost though!). Well done.

Hawthorn will eat up Yarran's softness. Would love for him to make a stand but it won't happen.
