I think Hobbs is more likely to forge a career than the Daveys though they both have higher upside.It’s pretty rare all your young talent just simultaneously fire in the one season. Durham, Martin and Caldwell are the finds this season. Makes sense given they have all had 2-3 season continuity and are entering their primes at 23 yo.
Next season is critical for Perkins, Cox, Hobbs, Reid - they enter that age bracket and it’s no longer enough to show glimpses.
Davey x2, Tsatas and Wanganeen need to show more glimpses at AFL level next season.
Feel like the development has been good this year. But pretty nervous about Daveysx2 and Hobbs in particular. They have really stalled.
Hobbs needs to have a long hard look at himself, start giving the first option and make himself a physical brute while still being able to spread.
The Daveys may or may not want to do “whatever it takes”
