We haven't seen this before!
There is a Luke Hodge tribute on the match ball for Hodgey's last AFL game.
'Luke Hodge', '15', 'The General' and '305 AFL Games' is printed on the leather of the Sherrin.
This is a unique gesture from Hawthorn as no other retiree has received this type of tribute before.
You've got to be a fair player to have a tribute to your career on the footy!
The Hawks lead the Dogs 9.5 (59) to 7.4 (46) at half time.
