Recommitted Rory Lobb [trade is off, staying at Fremantle]

[Tippett2Goal]

Reportedly GWS contract offer wasn't what Lobb thought he was worth

 

[SSwans2011]

Fremantle hates forwards. We need to get rid of them all and bring in some skinny flankers.

*glass breaks*




BAH GAWD IT'S CAM MCCARTHY

 

[Keystone agony]

I reckon if we trade Lobb we could finish bottom 6 next season but will be closer to a premiership with the young core... the gap between the age of tall forwards on the list and the likes of Darcy, Brayshaw and Serong was too large and trading Lobb potentially allows us to bring and provide more opportunity for key forwards closer to the age bracket of the best group of players on our list which are in that 19-23 age bracket. However as Ryan Daniels tweeted we could have 2 million in cap space so if the club pulls the right strings the year after next we may be very very good.

Agree in 3- 4 years time the Darcy, Serong, Logue, B.Cox, Brayshaw, H.Young, L.Henry, Treacy, J.Clark, H.Chapman, O'driscoll and 3 top 20 picks group will be closer then

Mumford and Finlayson gone, Lobb in.
So two out, one in. I don't think Briggs,Flynn,Pruess would be that happy though.

Of those 4 players and Hogan, Himmelberg,
Only 4 of the 6 can be in the team at once,
unless Himmelberg plays back.

 

[Keystone agony]

How do we have $2M cap space? We need to spend 95% at least and if we have that much space, we're at about 80%

Cap is 13.4 mill for 2021 maybe increase in 2022

2/13.4 = 15%. So 85%

Not sure he's taking into account J.Clark and W.Brodie? Who knows

Can always bring salaries forward from current players to hit 95%

We’re lucky to have 4 fit at the same time

 

[The 747]

Crazy, GWS did well to get rid of him.

 

[Doggy]

WBD making a mistake for not going for Lobb and get Freo to pay a large % of his salary.

WBD should trade a future 1st for Lobb + get Freo to pay 350k - 500k of his salary + points for Darcy.

Yeah, we need forwards.

I can think of a club who actually do .. yours

 

[CakeEater]

Is it just to me or does Lobb moving back to GWS make less sense than him just staying with the Dockers? The Dockers are severely lacking talls, while GWS have Flynn, Briggs, and Preuss and Hogan

Efa

General Giant its been a while...

G’day

G’day

So um, do you have a KPF you can trade us, say someone whose last name starts with H...

 

[Joose]

There has to be a replacement for Lobb in Wall's sights if this trade goes ahead.

Fremantles key forward stocks will be down to a frequently injured Taberner and a 19 yo Treacey plus what they draft this year. Who would it be?

Tim English? Still young but very similar to Lobb in that he is Ruck/Forward who doe'snt excel at either

? Don't mind this kid
Josh Kennedy? Rumours around that he will come to Freo as a FA on a 1 year deal. That could work.

Funny trade period this.

 

[Colonial]

I honestly doubt we would trade Harry.

There are two ways I think this goes.

pick 2 for 6 and Lobb (maybe with some later pick swapsies)
Or
Cogs is involved……. (Im not saying its what I want etc but it’s a possibility)

 

[Freomaniac]

Freomaniac your thoughts on Lobb back to Giants?

Bad idea for Freo IMO unless Giants pay handsomely

Well if its a similar offer to what freo paid....

Picks 11 and 20 for Lobb and pick 14....

If the backline is fully fit, a 194 cm Brennan cox is handy

You and your tough guy Tony Abbott tactics.

 

[Freomaniac]

You and your tough guy Tony Abbott tactics.

Well Freo got reamed in the Cerra trade.

I am not suprised half of freos fan base are out for blood lol.

 

[Keystone agony]

If they cant bring in a mature tall Forward than B.Cox is apart of the forward group or they play 2 rucks with S.Darcy predominantly forward

Taberner
Treacy
B.Cox
J.Amiss (Draft)
Van Rooyen (Draft)
E.Benning (Draft/B Rookie)

There's another guy with a name that starts with H... he's relatively new to your club.

Haha ain’t happening

Ahhh, he hasn’t played often enough for me to remember yet. Barely effects our cap too.

 

[SSwans2011]

Efa

I more so meant ruck options, but good point. There's also Himmelberg and Riccardi.

 

[Cobbler]

With all the poor kickers we’re acquiring who needs talls!
Just scramble kick inside 50m and let our minions go to work.
New forward coach all over it!

 

[Prochard123]

You’ve suggested offering up our future first for Lobb?

I'm not even sure if you're trying to be ignorant on purpose.

My suggestion was that you're almost getting a $200,000 a year Lobb ($500k discount) and additional points for Darcy.

The value you get from that huge salary savings is easily worth a decent portion of your future 1st given valuations of recent trades.

 

[WilloTree]

More the fact that he went home with the first trade and is still wanted. Let's not pretend that is commonplace.

Your post was a troll post about Lobb leaving Fremantle. Let's not disguise it as anything else. It's insulting.

 

[Freomaniac]

You don't pay pick 13 for a middle ground player turning 29

80-95% of the time you won't trade pick 13 for a 29 year old.

the 5-20% of the time you would is that when you have a team that is in finals or needs a good 29 year old mid that can turn a 9th or 10th placed side to a 6th or 7th placed side that makes finals.

Even if thats the case, You want that 29 year old to have 3-4, possibly 5 years of good footy and even then thats unlikely.
