Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2025

From what I’ve seen, Hobbs doesn’t seem like an improvement on Sonsie or Dow . I doubt he will be around for us in the Rookie draft anyway.

Sad to say but at this stage he would be a list clogger IMO

At 22 years old?

Yep, we have a lot of midfield options now with Lalor, Horton and Smillie. Hobbs to me is like a Ross or Dow, plus being delisted by Essendon how good can he be??

Agree with you here. We have 3 experienced mids in Prestia, Hopper and TT. Then we have Lalor, Hotton, Smillie and Kmac2 to rotate through there. On top of that we’ll have potentially another 2/3 mids selected in the national draft.

Main thing is I don’t think Hobbs offers anything different to us that warrants putting him on the list. Just a stock standard inside mid with a lack of pace. Rather give more midfield minutes to the cubs.

Don't think you can be a list clogger that young.

More dow. Ryan. Ross age bracket.

You could argue lalor is better forward and hotton wing/fwd for the short term.  Smillie who knows at this stage.

Could do worse than a punt on Hobbs or Phillips.

[Andyy]

Lalor didn't play a lot of midfield, injuries etc.

Smillie injured all year.

Dow injured half the year, been on the list 5+ years. Sucks.

Ross best is good, regular effort is modest.


I'd consider a Phillips/Hobbs vs Dow/Sonsie for a rookie spot for sure.

Pretty grim

Would be even grimmer with Hobbs because it would reduce the already very limited opportunities Lalor, Hotton, kmac2, Smillie and 2 new picks get.

Yeah.

See people talk about Lalor, Hotton, Smillie etc etc. And yes I get it, you want them to play midfield...but so far they really haven't. Smillie can't even get on the park, Lalor couldn't stay on it, Hotton just got on it.

Depth is therefore necessary.

So either we keep dead weight like Dow and Sonsie or try guys like Hobbs and Phillips. At this stage I'd almost trade our two for those two.

Where in the rules and guidelines does it say afl stats require a source?

If nankervis has ten hitouts and I say that do I need to cite afl.com?

Rules are very clear
