Hodge might get a week for his trip, so he may not get to play against Richmond, but Jed Anderson should be fit to play back from injury.
Yeah it's one of those that he could easily get done for, threw his foot out and clipped him, no good if he's out but I would say we'd still have them covered, should be a good exciting game though as richmond have lifted this year, once we get passed that we get a breather for a week (st kilda) then it's a solid run home with collingwood, north and sydney to get us up and firing for finals football.
Western bulldogs have been good of late, played good football against essendon, hawthorn and then got over west coast today, plenty of exciting signs for them to come but it might be time for them to start getting aggressive with their trading and cashing in on some of their more experienced players and build from the ground up, still plenty of talent in their team with cooney/gia and robert murphy would be amazing trade bait and could bolster any teams shot at a premiership, they will obviously need leaders around the club and stripping their team bear could really hurt them but I wouldn't be surprised if they traded one or more of their senior players to get some high draft picks.
