Easy, if we all pop him on ignore, the thread gets shorter.

Yep, I need to resist the urge to even read the thread content. I shall turn off the notifications haha.I’d advise just not going in there. Dan is as done does and there’s not going to be much new information coming out for a while. Thread is in stalemate for a while
Ryan Daniels said he might renegotiate his last year and possibly extend at FreoColin Young getting slagged off on the Duff and Quarters pod for trying to 'invent' the Rory Lobb trade last year... Beautiful to listen to.

Well........Pav on 9 News has just asked him if he sees his future at Freo. Lobb ummed and aahed.Ryan Daniels said he might renegotiate his last year and possibly extend at Freo
I think it became very obvious after his girlfriend and her family moved to melb that he was gone. If she was permanently back in Perth I'd see him renegotiating and staying here, but she's back in melb now so. End of the day he's still contracted. If we feel he's irreplaceable then he'll be playing here next seasonWell........Pav on 9 News has just asked him if he sees his future at Freo. Lobb ummed and aahed.
Afterwards Pav & news anchor agreed he was 'pretty non-commital'. Pav added he didn't see why Lobb wouldn't see his future at Freo given his and team's form.
What did others make of it?

I think that was just him spitballing?Ryan Daniels said he might renegotiate his last year and possibly extend at Freo
What's stopping us from holding him to his contract? He has a sook and sits out/ plays poorly then he's not getting his 500k ×3years. This is likely his last contract so it's not like he can afford to do that.
If he sits out the year he can say goodbye to his $1.5mil deals. He's be forced into playing for us and playing well for his last payday. Would love for bell and co to stay firm but clubs don't really do that anymoreNothing, we have the right
He could claim mental health and sit out the year, ala McCarthy and then it’s just a bad look / optics
Keeping him gives another year of development to Amiss and Cyclone, and time to recruit to replace soft shell crabs

I'd actually say clubs are better at this then ever before. If losing Lobb makes the Jackson trade happen though I think you just make the best of losing a good player and move on.If he sits out the year he can say goodbye to his $1.5mil deals.

Soooo like all our KPP stock...
I had thoughts you guys might value Lobb but with JUH coming on, Bruce to come back and obviously Naughton, do you think Lobb makes sense for you guys? St Kilda would be the one for me where he makes most sense IMO
I dont think they'll do that. He's been too good up front. Bruce is probably cooked, I didnt realise he'd done a hammy first game after an ACL at 30 years old...Not sure if discussed yet but the Doggies are rabble in the backline, maybe they actually swing Naughton back there. Would be like having a prime Rance.
Surround JHU with Lobb , Bruce and roll English down there. Move Kinda makes sense IMO now
Majority don't want to lose Logue, therefore we need to part with Lobb.What's stopping us from holding him to his contract? He has a sook and sits out/ plays poorly then he's not getting his 500k ×3years. This is likely his last contract so it's not like he can afford to do that. He's a very important player esp now with tabs not being able to string more than two games together and amiss missing out on a whole season of development. I think it's dumb to let him go for draft picks without getting a ready made replacement
I'm happy with Lobb being used to get Jackson. If Jackson stays with melb then we keep both griff and lobb. Any scenario invovles griff stayingMajority don't want to lose Logue, therefore we need to part with Lobb.

Their backline is a rabble but if they cant improve that drastically (ie Logue), then you dont stop looking at other areas as well
I'm really surprised Melbourne supporters arent keen on Lobb but maybe everyone is just judging Lobb on history and not actual performance. Lobb is currently better than all their KPF and can chop out in the ruck. He would make them arguably a better team next yearAh didn’t realize he was out again. Was in career best form before the knee. Shame
With all noise about Lobb off to the dogs this was the only way it made sense to me.
I thought the most likely option was going to GWS, they’ll have another bunch of first round picks and sure could use another forward. Since they’ve been trialing Hayne there…
