Hodge's weighty decision as he looks forward

Speaking at the AFL Captains Day on Thursday, the Hawk captain said he would enter 2016 at the same weight as last year – 88kg – and a reason why was the possibility of spending more time up forward.

"You'll have to ask 'Clarko' that," Hodge said when asked whether he would see more time up forward as the Hawks restructure their side in the absence of the injured Jarryd Roughead for the first half of the season.
