Yeah but if Lobb is allowed to roam he could be dangerous. He can be used to either break out of defense or lock it into the forward line.

I don't think it is that simple. It's got the fit into the structure and you don't want the land of the giants otherwise you can't lock the ball in.
I'm fine with him playing if fit and no doubt we will use him down the line, but he is easily good enough as the 2nd ruck. At that point, literally any other type of player is more valuable than Meek.
If Lobb isn't taking marks we might as well delist him.
Lobb would do better in the ruck than Meek honestly.

I don’t agree with that statement.
It is also apparent that Lobb is not the most physical player getting around.
Large fairy would be unkind but probably not far off the mark.
Neither was our coach tbh.
Meek got badly bullied by McEvoy last week. Don't think he registered a hitout in the entire first term. Lobb would do better I can confidently say.
Only if you’re talking about it from a pure ruck perspective. Reality is that Darcy will take more ruck minutes than anyone else in our team so you’re weighing up whether Lobb or Meek is a better forward. That isn’t even a question whatsoever.

We’ll have an idea this time tomorrow, once they’ve all jumped on the plane. If Logue and Lobb fly, they’ll play.
He’s really developed into a top tier talent during his 2 months off that’s for sure

That's the problem with Lobb. We are paying great money for a good ruck and an ordinary forward

Tucker to play Peel reserves. Interesting use of Peel reserves this year to get very basic minutes into guys
Think Logue and Lobb come in at a minimum
Scared of playing the returning players at Pingelly. Worried about a 2 hour drive may not be good for players with LTI’, ....... how different is that from doing a one hour drive in city traffic, to get to the game.
Anyway, the reserves game has just had the standard of play lifted.
meek’s follow up work is 1st rate, Lobb not so much.Lobb is a bit lazy imo
Might be over selling him a bit there, he looks good sometimes but stats don't flatter him at all. I aint saying he's useless. Ruckman development cycle takes quite a few years really. But Lobb as it stands offers much more in every aspect of the game.
We did? We had 7 clearances to 5 and 19 i50s to 6.
