The crucial cogs of AFL's Round 7: Which players need to be the difference makers?
We’re taking a look at one player from each team that needs to make a difference this week, starting with the ANZAC Day games.
Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge has claimed the 2014 Norm Smith Medal, after an impressive performance in the Hawks’ 2014 AFL Grand Final win.
The Hawks led at every change on their way to an impressive 63-point win.
Luke Hodge finished the match with 35 touches, 12 marks, four tackles and two goals.
The win is Luke Hodge’s second Norm Smith Medal win, after he claimed the award in the Hawks 2008 premiership win against Geelong.
The Hawks become the first team to win back-to-back premierships since the Brisbane Lions, and have now won three premierships in the past seven seasons.
Luke Hodge is now a three time premiership winner, two of which he has won as captain of the Hawthorn Football Club.
Hodge also had four clearances, four inside 50’s and three hit-outs.

Round 5 of the AFL provided plenty of action, from big scorelines to upset wins and pressure starting to build on some clubs and coaches already.
Collingwood premiership defender Nathan Murphy has been forced into a premature and immediate AFL retirement through concussion to prioritise a "full and healthy life"…
Geelong has been crafty and creative in its list management and has quietly assembled a very exciting young group of midfielders and half-forwards.
Brisbane co-captain Lachie Neale will be looking to lead his team to a victory against Melbourne in what will be his 250th AFL game.
It’s high stakes with five teams having lost their first three games of season 2024, and in desperate need of a win.
