Former #8 Ben Hobbs

He went to country footy after being delisted by us but ended up back in the SANFL before the midyear transfer cutoff.

One of his teammates at Centrals said that he was offered $1600 per week to go to South Mildura plus they will fly him up there 6x times per year. He is returning to Centrals in 2027 but obviously wants some cash

Who?

McDonagh.

And he was at least more visible than his sister-in-law, who was never even an emergency for our 2022 VFLW team.

To be actually fair, we had a pretty good squad that year.

Social media is the worst.

Gotta remember these are just kids with access to type whatever is on their brain at any given minute for the world to see. Wonder if Voss gets reprimanded for that?

Yep, that’s the one

I remember the good old days when Hobbs was going to be the next joel selwood.

I remember when he was “the big bodied midfielder we’d been waiting for”…

I had no idea this happened, either the #2 B&F finish or the VFL Team of the year.

Very surprising as every time I saw him he looked very mediocre - a poor man’s Hardingham including not being a particularly smart footballer.

Voss is not a kid, he’s a 22 year old professional athlete. Whilst he appears to have the IQ of a potato, they have it constantly drilled into them to not be a goose on social media. It’s all well and good being cheeky from time to time, but what he wrote was braindead and will only get him in strife.

My mistake, he didn’t make VFL team of the year. He was runner up in our B&F only in 2023

The Dudoro days, I do not miss them at all.

I’ve seen a lot of worse players than Montgomerie in 70 years of following Essendon.

I remember Herbatron put out a trailer for a documentary about him called “recruiting mediocrity“ or something along those lines. It never came out and I was always curious as to why… now, its pretty obvious what happened :upside_down_face:
