I was at the game and it is true to every last word: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26449881-5006371,00.html At least Mark Worthington showed respect and had the decency to apologise for Hodge's antics. Quote: "I want to say sorry to Adelaide and to Brett Maher," Worthington said in the after-match press conference. "I don't condone that and I thought that was a little bit over the top. Right now there are 6000 inside and there will be 6000 outside wanting to rip his head off.I think we need to show some respect to a great player for this (36ers) club and for our league." As for Hodge. Quote: "If I could do it again, I would have continued to step on it and step on it and step on it," he said. "I want them to remember how it felt for the rest of their lives and I'm sure they will and every time I play there I will make it my personal effort to try to go out and destroy them." What a joke.... Hodge is definitely not a professional athlete. This was proven in the first instance when he was a "no show" for an Adelaide home game last season and now this. Any player of any club needs to remember they are not only representing themselves - they are representing their other team members - their club and now in most cases - their state. - Bella Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:47:32 +0100 http://gaze.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=224%3Ahodge-feared-for-his-safety&catid=49%3Ahoopscoop&Itemid=1&lang=en#comment-53 "feared for his safety" THATS A COP OUT. - Clint Dogg Tue, 08 Dec 2009 06:40:07 +0100 http://gaze.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=224%3Ahodge-feared-for-his-safety&catid=49%3Ahoopscoop&Itemid=1&lang=en#comment-49 Great for the game and good fun for the fans. - filby Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:57:19 +0100 http://gaze.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=224%3Ahodge-feared-for-his-safety&catid=49%3Ahoopscoop&Itemid=1&lang=en#comment-48 Firstly well done to the tigers they were the better team on the nite...Mark Worhtington was clutch... awesome!... this coming from a massive sixer fan!! 1) We did boo and jeer in the crowd but Julius was playing up to it also! There were no racist remarks during the game and if so why didnt the tigers complain about it? 2) When you leave your mates hanging like Julius did 12 months ago of course they would be annoyed!! 3) when you rubbish a legend in front of 6000 of his biggest fans that is 'classless' to quote Julius 4) What did brett maher have to do with anything last nite, Julius was the one rubbishing the court name during the week 5) The tigers now realise the crap they have inherited... Lastly Karma.... - it will always be Brett Maher Court Sun, 06 Dec 2009 14:04:36 +0100 http://gaze.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=224%3Ahodge-feared-for-his-safety&catid=49%3Ahoopscoop&Itemid=1&lang=en#comment-47 Sounds like a LOT of back peddling following a dumb act.
