#8 Ben Hobbs

Yeah , just looked it up. Amended it to Johnson as Hobbs was gone prior. Which may well have happened without the Port trade.

I’m very happy for you Nino. BIG BODY INSIDE MID.

He is going to be awesome amongst Perkins, Cox, Jones and Durham, we have great group of youngsters tided with the elders of the club.

For once I feel we are really balanced as a club and covering every area

Hobbo is no hobo.

I remember thinking he’d be a good pick for us when I expected us to be ■■■■ this year. Playing finals and still getting him is a pretty fantastic result.

So I must admit, I never watched any Hobbs vids, read his profile etc as I just didn’t think he was a feasible option for our pick. So what are we in for? And why the minor slide? Bit of a man child with less scope for improvement than others?

Think a few other clubs ahead needed to fill specific needs or pick locals

This is what he had:
PICK 11 – St Kilda – Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
PICK 12 – West Coast – Ben Hobbs
PICK 13 – Essendon – Matthew Johnson
PICK 14 – Port Adelaide – Josh Sinn

Slots into Snellings spot for mine.
Forward pocket with stints in the midfield to start his career.

Hobbs was on Road to the Draft yesterday (or Monday. Can’t remember)

He said:

  • he expects to be playing AFL round 1 next season.

  • Thinks he is good enough to be playing Midfield full time next season.

  • if he doesn’t get his chance in the midfield, knows that he will have to learn his craft in another role…. Until a midfield spot opens up.

what I love him already round 1

He has captain material all about him too.

This is a fantastic pick up.
