I've read a few times we are linked to Hobbs.

Surely not, seems like  a dud to me, and one that is on a contract.

Allegedly Hobbs is the the GF sprint, so at least we can see how slow he really is  :rollin

I know I'm in the minority,  perhaps even the only one  ;D but I see alot of upside in Hobbs. His first season was very good, he has great hands for an inside mid (when they've bothered to play him there) and as we know you don't have to be super quick as an inside mid  :clapping

We have Ross, who is better than Hobbs

I would generally not ever write off any player 3, even 4 years into the system. Particularly if they rated highly at under age level.
There’s a heap of premiership players who came from other clubs like our captain and recruited as rookies
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

One would hope so

Seeing one was drafted in 2018, the other in 2021

IMO

9 and 10 for Bolton is fair.

I think 6 and 12 for Rioli is overs but I’m not complaining lol

13 for bakes is fair too.
Receive pick 22 as compo for Graham and that would give us picks 1, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 21, 22.

Hopefully, we can trade our bunch of latter picks for yet another first rounder with a club that needs the draft points for their academy/FS kid.

Heard the Swans list manager just rang Hartley inquiring about Lynch.... :shh
