LUKE Hodge says he has no plans to retire at the end of the season.
The Hawthorn captain is aiming to play his side's last NAB Cup game on March 15 or 16 in an attempt to push for Round 1 selection.
Hodge played only 10 games last year after damaging his posterior cruciate ligament in Round 6.
Out of contract at the end of 2013, Hodge admitted his injury-plagued 2012 season made him confront his football mortality.

But the 2008 Norm Smith medallist is confident his body is capable of withstanding "another few years" yet.
"I think when you get to the latter stages of your career, any major injuries make you think 'Oh, is that the end?' " Hodge said yesterday.
"But I'm only 28 and it's not as if the injury last year was a result of wear and tear, it was an impact injury, a totally different thing.
"If it was a wear and tear thing it would have put a few question marks over me, but I've got full confidence in my body and how it's tracking this pre-season."
