| Mon, Aug 17, 09LUKE Hodge says he is on the verge of signing a new contract with Hawthorn in the lead-up to his 150th game. Hodgeâs contract expires at the end of the season but he says his management and the Hawks are close to agreeing to a new deal. âIâd say so. My managerâs over in Perth at the moment. Theyâve been talking regularly and it should be done soon,â Hodge said. This weekâs clash with Richmond marks Hodgeâs 150th game but the straight-talking Hodge was not about to get too carried away with individual honours. âItâs life membership with the club which is always good. Our focus is pretty much to beat Richmond this weekend and see how we go,â he said. The Hawks are still in the hunt for a finals position despite losing their past four games. Hodge said the players canât afford to look at the big picture and must simply focus on beating their opposition. âItâs probably been the same situation the last two or three weeks. With the footy weâve put up in the last month we probably donât deserve to make finals,â Hodge said. âWeâre still a mathematical chance and as long as we can improve our form and win the next two games anythingâs possible. We need to play more consistent football.â Veteran Stuart Dew is a chance to earn a recall this week, while ruckman Max Bailey could return to play his first game since 2006 after enduring a horror run with knee injuries. âDewey will be training this week and Iâm pretty sure if he gets through training heâll be available. Heâs got to get through the last few training sessions,â Hodge said. Bailey was left out of the Box Hill side that faced the Bendigo Bombers on the weekend but was one of the sideâs best the week before. âMaxyâs played the last three or four games with Box Hill and has done really well. Heâs worked on his fitness and making sure he can get through a game first,â Hodge said. |

| Sammy may have the C next to his name, but Hodge is the leader of the Hawks. He is a fantastic player on the field and a great example of a prefessional off it. Despite the rumours, I believe he is set to put pen to paper on a multi season deal. It was believed he was contemplating a 12 month contract to leave himself open for a move to the Coast (and captaincy), but that is not going to happen - he will sign for at least 3 years. A lot of milestone games at the club recently, hopefully this one is celebrated in style - the season is over boys, start playing like a team with nothing ot lose! Let's go Hawks and let's go Hodgey! |
