[VelvetSledge]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 12, Schnitzengruben

 

[DERO]

Yeah, contracted player with two years left to run on his contract

TRADE

 

[Don Won]

TRADE

I’d give him till at least October, but if he can’t get above 186cm I’m on board

 

[ant555]

Surely his trade value must be increasing?

Yep two first rounders in the top 10 now.

Ben 'Gargoyle' Hobbs

I immediately just think of "Gargoyling on me nuts" as does "Goblin on me Nuts" probably says a lot about me





Where does Goblin come from? Hobb Goblin?

Presumably. Players call him that anyway, can hear it in the audio on training videos and when the re-signing news dropped a couple of them used it when they reposted it to their story.

Currently the club's media team is running with "Hobba", which looks like a typo

Maybe Hobbs is like Hodor, and that's all he can say...

 

[nipst@r]

A good list decision. Has leadership and competitiveness as 1 wood if no elite skills yet.

Don't know if ever reach elite mid status but gives impression of driving standards and a good defensive mindset.

That reminds me of my favourite Panic! At The Disco song Emperor's New Clothes

Sums him up,

Moment in the last, ball kicked to the far wing (on the tv) and Hobbs on the wing closest to us just breaks out and sprints, out on his feet, almost gets there but is that spent and is shepherded by I think Dusty.

Genuinely inspirational to see a kid in his second year bust his ass for the team

 

[frodos gardener]

He’s our Cotchin without the early soft**** years

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Wonderful game from Margaret.

Buy your rookie cards NOW

 

[Vindicater]

Jesus.

We actually drafted a winner...

 

[Run and carry]

He always seems to get himself enough time to survey all his options before releasing the ball. Just so relaxed and everything seems to slow down when he has it.

 

[Happyskeret]

Beauty is he has a footy brain will be an absolute ball magnet

 

[Andronicus]

Needs to stay in the team from here.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Hobber!

hobgoblin:

Why is the hobgoblin so strong?
Psychotic Strengths. As a result of the Goblin Formula, Norman Ben possesses super human strength (able to lift nine tons), speed, reflexes, endurance, and healing. He can regenerate damaged tissue and organs

 

[brain taylor]

don't hobgoblins get to re-roll a failed skill check once a day or something?

 

[boncer34]

Probably cop a week for the sling

 

[Mikevk123]

Love him

 

[naraku]

Didn't get a lot of the ball, but he doesn't waste it either.

 

[Yoda_]

That forward craft

 

[dank420_]

I thought he was kinda average for most of it. Needs to string 4 quarters together and he could be anything.

 

[quotemokc]

Can kick a goal
