If he isn’t good why you after him????
How about the 4 goals all outside the arc he kicked against you guys? Who can do that in the AFL with such ease.
Iceman!
Brownlow Medallist
My partner and i make big life decisions together, as most healthy relationships would.
Not going to argue Naughton v Lobb. Everyone knows who is superior and more consistent.
The facts are though in the last 3 seasons Naughton has polled 9 votes. Lobb has polled 17.
17 votes as a fwd who missed a few games through injury in 2021. This is a game breaker. A flexible Fwd/Ruck who can go back in clutch moments, who is contracted and overs will be given for him.
Just lock this thread and reply to this post if/when trade goes through. It will be overs for him.

You have literally no idea what she wants or has asked for. She’s allowed to have a career and she’s allowed to have an opinion on what’s best for both her and her partners career.

He is a good player, no one is disputing that. That doesn’t mean we’re comfortable handing pick 11 for an okay 30 year old.
I’d love to **** our draft hands for a couple of top 3 key position players while competing in the finals. Absolute rort to get JUH, then the afl choose to change the rules.
If there is no 1st including. We are looking at a package of a couple of 2nds (we all know this years draft is a flop) and Sweet as adequate coverage for Meek leaving.
Yup we are very lucky having JUH and Darcy at our club

Your Fwd 50 pressure should be interesting with the land of the Giants.
That’s why I hope Lobb is still wearing purple in 2023 just for Colin Young reaction lol
Naughton is 8 years younger and kicked twice as many goals over the last 2 years.
Not sure anyone is too concerned with Brownlow votes.
I still can’t think of any previous trade for a 30 year old of Lobb’s ability that involved a 1st rounder, contracted or not. Happy to stand corrected if there is an example out there.
Likewise an overweight broken down nic nat/hurn/shuey etc
People are missing some points
1. Lobb is a forward and ruck which is the most difficult to fill.
2. Lobb is contracted
3. Fremantle don’t have a replacement and lacks mature key forwards.
4. Bell already said he will keep Lobb to his contract.
Therefore, Fremantle will need overs.
1. Lobb is B grade
2. He is 30
3. Bulldogs coaching group wants Lobb
4. Lobb Gf is in Melbourne and will play the mental health card in the trade period.
1. Pick 29 is fair enough but it’s not overs.
2. Pick 11 is way too much
3. Trade needs to be pick 29 plus pick swaps
4. Other clubs may need to be involved

I’m not sure 11 is way too much, but his value lies between 29 (which will push out further) and 11. Probably around the 20 mark. The concept that 30 year olds are near the end is being debunked constantly. Talls hit peak around 30. It’s likely Lobb will produce his best form in the next 3-5 years.
100% of dog fans think that pick 11 is way too much.
I agree 11 is way to much. 29 not enough. If they want him that badly they will find a way to get something high teens which will end up as low 20’s. Should be able to get something else as part of Dunkley deal.

Not just Dogs fans.
I agree but I imagine her salary doesn’t come close to $600k a year so that comes with some sacrifices

Pick 11 is far too much, no one in their right mind would ever pay that for Lobb
It can’t be solely 29.
If Meek leaves maybe two 2nd rounders and Sweet. If we don’t land Corbett maybe 2 seconds and Hannan who has been pushed out of Bullies fwd line.
Waits for dogs fans to say Hannan worth more than Lobb

Of course she is just like lobbs employer is entitled to ask him to perform his contract and not trade him. He always has the legal right to retire from afl and move to melbourne if thats the choice he wants to make.
And Freo are allowed to say "na mate you can wait another 12 months as you are a required player and nobody is offering close to your value." Lobbs partner moving to Victoria doesn't mean Freo has to lose him for unders when he's got a legally binding contract.

Yeah I agree it won’t be 29 if he goes, just that pick 11 is no chance unless 13 goes back with it.
