Already the favourite of many to take home the Brownlow, Luke Hodge has set his 2010 season alight in fantasy terms, dipping under 100 three times in Dream Team and only once in Supercoach.
Free from a nagging groin injury which hampered his efforts in 2009, and saw his SC price start at a tasty $485,600 in 2010, Hodgey has nailed coin after coin in the slot with his silky left bootlace. It is not surprising that nearly two thirds of the SC population have him locked in their starting 22, with only Gary Ablett jnr higher than him in the popularity stakes.
A dominant midfielder, sometimes third man up backman, and effective forward, Hodge is usually somewhere near the ball and his averages of 112.5 and 129.5 in DT and SC respectively attest to that.

• Dont like the way he plays. Have heard current AFL players say he's a bit of an "under the belt player". But he's a walk up lock in my SC mid set up. - chucknorris - 6 months ago
• you cant call this guy weak, gives as good as he gets in contests. Plays through injury, and oh, if you had a groin or even a groin injury you would know how painful walking is let alone kicking and bumping. Hes in for 2010. - wozman - 6 months ago
