Rory Lobb: D
Put up the type of performance that justifies Luke Beveridge’s decision early in the season to play Lobb in the reserves. Eventually finished the game with an ankle injury.

That ankle injury soundsseason career ending.

Surely North are jumping in here. He's no world beater but he'd be serviceable until North draft that KPF to pair with Larkey. Would cost SFA pick wise too

It’s just not a good fit.
Adds experience but if they’re recruiting someone at that age, he needs to bring more to the table.
Lobb just doesn’t.

Lobb is no long-term solution, just a stop gap until new recruit/ draftee comes good

That's true wherever he goes, not just at North Melbourne.
North aren't in a position to bring in a 32 year old just because he's better than what they've got. That's sound in theory or on paper but footy clubs look for cultural fits and Rory just clearly isn't that.
If he's a leader they should look at it; if he's not they're better off going with what they've got, or looking elsewhere.
Rory Lobb isn't moving any needle for a young rebuilding side screaming out for leadership and experience. If anything it might move it in the wrong direction.

Some huge questions need to be asked of why the dogs gave up two second round picks for this guy
He has a heart the size of a caraway seed.

Haha. Then it has shrunk. We used to call him pea heart.

At least a caraway seed does something useful.
They shouldn't let a player with his attitude anywhere near their young players.

Liked for the humour.
PS: Someone reported that he could be coming to the Pies. Absolutely alarming, but I’ll get over it in a few weeks.

Never made much sense to me. He seems a fairly likeable guy.
Why retire? He has 2 years of free cash.

He has a history of signing front-ended contracts and then asks for a trade in the lighter years.
On top of that, from a Freo perspective, he had a public crack at our coach for not coaching him 'correctly' despite coming off a career-best year. How's he being coached now?

I haven't paid too much attention, but he had some pretty bizarre social media posts which seemed to be his way of having a sook at being left out of the Bulldogs firsts. A fringe player who thinks he's above playing reserves football and is willing to go public with it isn't a very attractive proposition.
For a team like North Melbourne, the tools he has seem to fit like a glove. But at least as much as that, North needs to bring in established players who will be leaders and set the standards, whatever level they find themselves playing at. Will Lobb do that, or will he throw the toys out of the cot when things aren't going his way?

Wouldn’t want him anywhere near the young talent if I’m North.
