Is hobbs any relationship to the this year’s 1st round prospect?
No Hickman or Cardillo?
Coottee is also the Jets captain this year.

Essendon VFL has released its 2021 playing list ahead of its season opener against Brisbane on April 17.
The 30-man squad, which includes eight NAB League players, features inside midfielders Kyle Dunkley and Joe Atley, who were the first newcomers to sign in February.
Both have prior AFL experience, with Dunkley playing five games over two seasons for Melbourne and Atley playing four games for Port Adelaide.
Other ex-AFL recruits include Sam McLarty (Collingwood) and Brady Rowles (Sydney Swans), while James Harrold joins the Bombers after playing for East Fremantle in the WAFL.

BEST NAME IN THE BUSINESS.
I remember saying that one night in Geelong, and it turned out his dad was sitting next to me.

62* Jack Evans March 21, 2000
*NAB League players who will dip in and out of the squad in 2021.
I assume something is wrong there, 21 seems quite old to be playing in an U19s comp.
There might be confusion between Jack Evans who played in the Calder backline with Mason Fletcher who was born in March 2000 and another Jack Evans from Murray Bushrangers who was born in March 2002.
Y2K Jack Evans is a strongly built, 186cm medium defender with decent athleticism and strong kick on him

Morgan part of the PEGS first footy group that had Harry Jones, Sam Graham, Josh Kemp and Cody Brand.
Bannister is from Caulfield with Robertson.
Different Jack Evans to the one listed. He’s a NAB league kid.
Caleb Ernst also plays as a key forward. Huge work ethic, very raw, great character.
