I just want to throw Ben Hobbs into the conversation.
Bit of a beast - would be handy in our annual drubbings by bigger bodied midfields.
He is 183cm. It's not midget territory, but he's not going to help issues against bigger bodied midfields. The smaller mids like Hobbs, Ward and Sonsie are a poor fit for our midfield (Brayshaw, Serong) when compared with the bigger options like Erasmus, Johnson, Goater, etc.
