Not Hodgo, this would have been 1994, Hardy played 94, Serdaris 94-95, Hodgo debuted in 97.

Bloody spitting image of Hodgo .....

Funny ( and true) Mark Harris story.
He was late for training one day and Jack Gibson said he couldn’t train coz he wasn’t warmed up etc.
Harris replied that he’d warmed up in the car on the way to training. Needless to say Gibbo stood him down.

The greatest (Balmain) Tiger of them all. Player, goal kicker, administrator, commentator, sometimes fill-in coach. A delightful man and a true gentleman.

I stopped listening to him when I was driving from - well - that doesn't matter - I was driving...thought I was listening to a footy broadcast ... what was broadcasted was him talking about himself going through the motions how he showers and picks up the soap.... after that.. I lost all interest in him.
