#8 Ben Hobbs

Looking at DT points, we had 7 of the top 10 players, and, discounting Bryan, Melbourne had the bottom 7 players.

In that last quarter, Melbourne’s players had no appetite for the ball.

EDIT: wrong thread.

Hobbs. Excellent game

To be fair to Tsatas, Hobbs has played more senior games.

I think Tsatas will take Shiels spot whe he retires

Hobbs
Tsatas
Durham
Caldwell

Merret can play mid/forward

His goal kicking is really good. Felt pretty confident when he was lining up for his second.

If he deliberately curled that kick for is first goal, his kicking has improved immeasurably. If it was a shank, I am not totally convinced. He did kick one OOBOTF but I wont sentence him to death for that.

Parish?

My man Hobbs love the goal celebration just as good as Caldwells don’t trade him please

We offload Parish or Tsatas

how does Petracca fit into this…?

The point I’m making is, will he be happy in the B midfielder group, thus having long stints on the bench/HF ?

Given he’d had a similar shot at goal not long before that and hit the post, I’d say it was clearly intentional.

I don’t know in what world people believe Hobbs is better or going to be better than Tsatas.
Hobbs hasn’t played a midfield game close to the level of Tsatas last game in his career and if he did iam sure people would have him as the second coming of Jobe.
