#8 Ben Hobbs

Let’s hope it’s only an AC Sprain and he’s back in a couple of weeks. Or at worst a fractured clavicle and he’ll be back in the early rounds.
Don’t want shoulder reconstructions or anything.

When is the funeral :woozy_face:

Announce more injuries!

Did Caldwell line him up?

Will be a shame if he misses some weeks and hope he has escaped anything too serious. Fortunately we have some coverage in there in the short term with Setterfield, Caldwell and even Durham amongst our bustling midfielder types vying for the spot which Hobbs is playing. Lots of teams coping significant injuries it seems this preseason.

For the love of God

IS HOBBS OKAY???

Has anyone checked with the Alfred Hospital Major Trauma Service?

Minor AC joint injury for Ben Hobbs at Essendon match simulation today.

Bombers expect he’ll be on modified duties for a week or two, but are relieved it’s nothing serious.
