Stats
Bio
Recruited from Central District to join the inaugural Adelaide Crows squad, Eddie Hocking holds a unique place in club history as the shortest player to ever represent the side. Standing at just 168cm, the diminutive rover and forward pocket relied on his low centre of gravity and pace to compete against much larger opponents during the physical early 90s era. He made his debut in the Crows' foundation season of 1991, managing 11 senior appearances and four goals across two years on the list. While he was delisted at the conclusion of the 1992 season, Hocking remains a cult figure among supporters who remember the club's formative years, primarily due to his distinct stature and role in the original playing group.
