HAWTHORN skipper Luke Hodge made a strong - and welcome - comeback from injury against St Kilda.

The star Hawk was expected to miss four to six weeks with an arm injury, but came back after just three weeks to play an important role in his side's three-point win against the Saints.

Hodge finished with 23 disposals, six marks and four rebound-50s, playing predominantly in defence.
