The Bombers were delighted to secure the highly-rated inside midfielder with their first pick at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft, with the Vic Country product looking a ready-made prospect. Essendon has been crying out for a player like Hobbs, with his inside skills able to complement ball-winners such as Zach Merrett and Darcy Parish. One to look out for in 2022.
