They need to throw in their first round picks!What about Taylor Adams as a potential salary dump?
Not comparable imo. Last year Hobbs had many games getting over 20 possessions in his second season of AFL. This year he's been pushed out with Durham and Caldwell becoming locks. Their current development of first round picks is about as bad as any I've seen with guys like Hobbs, Tsatas and Perkins all stagnant and perhaps a new environment could kick start them. I think they had 3 picks inside 10 one year and none look like making it.Surely there are better options?
For the trade cost, I’d rather keep Finn.
I hope we don't target him. Looks an inside only plodder to me. And I think they're a dying breed.Hobbs has been disappointing tonight. Has continually been burnt by his opponent and has hung off the contest looking for any easy stat

As this year has shown, we definitely need some depth in the inside extractor role with Mitch nearing the end and Finn likely not fit for task.
We want it to be playable depth for next year, ideally someone who helps lower our age profile. Cheapish names thrown around to this point include Berry, Hobbs and Phillips. Who’s the best prospect if the three?
Are there any other young inside mids who can play a role as of next year if required with scope to be solid players?
Sheldrick’s on the outer at the Swans, Davies is always on the fringe at GC, perhaps Stone at the Giants and maybe Chesser at the Eagles. Ultimately though most of these guys will just get spat out of the system and the answer could be staring us in the face in Long who’s shown as much as any of them.
IMO, we’re better off filling that role through an established fit if we’re pro scouting it and focus on traits for those fringe types. Think Hawthorn and D’Ambrosio.
Really was a strange recruit by Sydney.They need to throw in their first round picks!
Be a real shame if he misses a grand final with the swans. NOTNot sure the same can be said of Adams
He’s now in real danger of having his spot taken by Parker when Papley and Warner are both back. Could you imagine that playing 40+ matches for the minor premier two years running and only playing one final…
It was comments Adams made after he left that left a bad taste - pretty sure that taste was sour grapes.What's with the Adams hate? Dude was a legitimate Collingwood person. We pushed him towards the door and he read the signs. I don't like the Swans but have mad respect for Grundy and Adams.
One of our bright lights from this season will miss a year with an ACL.I do not believe we have kept all of our 30 year + players in the belief we will challenge for the flag next year. I don't believe we will. Only two of our players have improved, one has stayed thereabouts but the rest have gone backwards. That could be due to gameplan, age or injury or all three
I feel it has more to do with our low draft hand and we by "retiring" them off we will not get like for like. It's up to other's to push them out on form. Browne has stated we as a club will not bottom out under his watch. I also feel that with their relatively low salaries we may be restructuring payments so we pay out Grundy's contract early. We may have somebody on the hook that may warrant front-end loading of the contract
What a strange opening sentence, you can believe we've kept our experienced players because we will bounce back and because we will be in contention in a weak competition with no standout teams not to mention the weak draw you get finishing outside of the 8.I do not believe we have kept all of our 30 year + players in the belief we will challenge for the flag next year.

It's relentless. We just have no luck with injuriesOne of our bright lights from this season will miss a year with an ACL.
That won't happen for us.What a strange opening sentence, you can believe we've kept our experienced players because we will bounce back and because we will be in contention in a weak competition with no standout teams not to mention the weak draw you get finishing outside of the 8.
We’ve played most of the season without our two bull mids and both KPF with mcstay and checkers missing large chunks. Having those 4 alone on the park will make a huge difference.I do not believe we have kept all of our 30 year + players in the belief we will challenge for the flag next year.

Hobbs is fine just needs to play on ball. Essendon have about 8 in their side who are ahead so a lot get pushed to flanks. Like MacRae when he plays half forward, looks lost. Only point getting him would be if we see him alongside Nick and Jordy in the guts.
What about Taylor Adams as a potential salary dump?
Didn’t get a chance to watch last nights game, but I tend to agree on Hobbs.
He was fairly comfortably the best inside midfield extractor of his draft class. That’s not the kind of skillset that doesn’t tend to fail to translate. I’d give him a chance for the right price.
get Parker
He’d be great in there
Tough experienced and goal kicker
Hes much better than long Sullivan bytel and lipinskiHas lost a yard from his best days.
How does he go vs a Tom Greene or Jack Cripps or Bontempelli or other big unit extractors?
I wish i was too young! I'm 66 in September. I remember the Shaw years.Right, suppose you were too young for the Tony Shaw years. Which this is starting to remind me of tbh. Two years from now: no Howe, no Mitchell, no Pedlebury, no Sidebottom, maybe no Crisp, no Cox, aging Moore, no Mihocek. No WHE. Anyone I miss?
Have a think about that, Domus. Have a long hard think.
1990 We won the premiership. Then…. A lot like this.
Good to hear re Beau.
I wonder if Beau's Dad gave similar advice to his son & told him to focus less on his clothing range, cars & social media tooStrange.
