Recently retired AFL champion Luke Hodge is set to join the SEN radio team.

The four-time premiership Hawk, who still lives in Brisbane, will join Gerard Whateley every Tuesday with and will also feature on Saturday Crunch Time.

โ€œOur main thing is talking about topics of the week and Iโ€™m sure Clarko will get a mention,โ€™โ€™ Hodge toldย The Herald Sun.

Retiring at the end of 2019, Hodge will still be a part of Channel Seven's AFL commentary team.

The two-time Norm Smith medallist believes the winner of this year's premiership is as deserving as any before them.

โ€œItโ€™s a pretty important year,โ€™โ€™ he said.

โ€œI always appreciate the 2014 (flag with Hawthorn) because of the resilience we had. Injuries, (coach Alastair Clarkson) Clarko was sick, so I hold that one higher and this is the same.โ€
