      I thought BBB put it quite elegantly without being unfair to the Jollys. I don't have a problem with anything they did - but I don't mind chuckling about DJ's horrendous performance in the 2006 final. Here's hoping that Mrs Hodge delivers a beautiful baby in the wee hours of Sat morning and a tired old Dad plays like Darren.

        Since she either had this with their first kid or was showing signs when the second kid was due he did what he had to do. As Paul Roos has said some things are more important than footy.
        Well said. Not as simple as submitting to the nagging wife as some have suggested. Serious stuff.

          Yes, he is so wrong with his on-the-spot diagnosis that I find him great comedy value.

          Example 1: When Benny did his hammy, the TV coverage showed him in the red vest with a huge ice pack strapped to his hamstring ... and Doc Larkins saying he had done his ACL.

          Example 2: When Ted rolled his ankle, the TV coverage showed him on the sideline talking to Nathan Gibbs and clearly pointing to his ankle ... and Doc Larkins saying he had done his PCL.

          Funny, unless he is your doctor and decides you need a full knee re-co to cure your ingrown toenail.

            But that wasn't the point of the piece, was it? I think, recovery and loss of muscle tone for this week's game not last week's was. And Ted does have a day more than Hodge to recover from the medical problems arising last weekend.

              Does it matter if we let FOTC do the work?

                  AILING Hawthorn ace Luke Hodge may be restricted to bursts off the interchange bench in Saturday's AFL Grand Final.

                  [QUOTE]

                  I thought bursts was what stopped Hodge playing last weekend....

                    That doesn't explain why Jolly chose Collingwood and only Collingwood to go to though. That seriously weakened our position at the trade table.
                    Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

                      But in the end we did really well with the trade so what is the issue?

                        Exactly. No other club was really in the market for a mature, quality ruckman. Hawthorn should have been, but they saw Burgoyne as a priority. We received the picks that netted us Jetta and part of BennyMac, which, if not fair value, wasn't far away. And the trade happened relatively painlessly, allowing sufficient time for the myriad of other trades we were involved in that week.

                          I think we got pretty good value and a lot more years of service by the way. Jetts & Benny will be around for 10 Darren will retire probably at the end of next year.

                            Unnecessary and don't forget we have Jett and Kennedy because of Jolly moving on. Get over it guys, it's happened and we are winners.

                                The jolly trade is not that simple. We had to trade in both mummy and seaby to cover jollys loss. They picks we gave up are part of the cost for jolly
