Is he too short to be a bull?
Smallest looking 183cm player I’ve seen… looked same height as Zerrett in the photo.
His standing reach wouldn’t be great coz he has a long neck which gives him the height

Merrett is 180cm, and Hobbs looked a few cm taller than him.

Couldn’t care that he’s not 190cm plus
What I care about is that he’s a ferocious competitor to win the ball and tackles with intent.
Hobbs will be our Oliver/Parker

Perkins & Hobbs will be plenty big enough in 2 years time.

He’s literally the most midfield player we’ve draft for a long time. I hear that AFL clubs had asked the Rebels, to play him on the Wing and Forward pocket…. As he has really only ever played as an inside midfield. He’s had to work on his craft as an outside player. When he sees the ball, his natural instincts are to win it, rather than wait for a team mate win it and get the handball receive.
His kicking is generally pretty decent. So he shouldn’t have to many issues on the outside.
I’ve seen him kick goals from the midfield.
But apparently he’s been kicking goals when playing up forward, later in the season.

Have you put any thought to what your next hobby horse is gonna be?
There’s a big difference between being 5’11 and being 6 foot, just ask any girl

As so many have mentioned, Cotchin, Edwards, Lambert, Prestia, Ross, Graham and even Martin…no Bonts or Dangerfields there. Martin probably the tallest at about 185. Not the size of the dog in the fight…
I grew 10 cm when they selected him.
