Traded Rory Lobb - [Traded to the Bulldogs for #30 and F2]

[eastfreo75]

Lobb for bulldogs future 2nd rounder should get it done

Bell just holding tight until Jackson commits.

No.

 

[The wily weagle]

Thing is, I get where Bell is coming from, and that is to be commended in its own way

That said, what's the end game? Try and hold onto Lobb and win a flag? And if that doesn't happen?

Lobby clearly wants to be in Melbourne, and he strikes me as a bit of a mercenary. There would be nothing stopping him moving on to one of several Melbourne clubs next year for almost nothing, if he elected to be spiteful

Lobb had high trade value atm, it may be best to maximise a return rather then lose him for very little next year

Every bulldogs supporter in here has been more nauseating than danster. There, I've said it.

Wowser.. not sure I’ve seen a bigger insult.

If Lobb doesn’t want to be at Freo what would be stopping him going easy on the body preparation and getting a few soft tissue injuries keeping him out? (While he recovers in Melb).

The fact that he wants one last big contract. No one is paying a 31 year who's spent the last year injured $1.5 mil over 3 seasons.

Fremantle has a great list except for forwards.

Keeping Lobb gives us time for Amiss or Treacy to develop or we get a replacement next trade period.

With Lobb we will be a top 4 contender and I’m happy to lose a mid second round pick.

I'm sorry Bulldogs fans, I love you all, I just don't think you quite realise that Peter Bell is a grade A w****r. A real case of short man syndrome. He doesn't just say these things for leverage.

Money.

Dees are about to do something along these lines. Just 5 years @ 700k instead

Brodie Grundy at his peak can be the best ruckman in the comp. Rory Lobb's peak is a 34 goal season.

Why are the Dogs after him? JUH, Bruce, Naughton, English etc

I don’t get it either.

[SweatOnMySkin]

presumably to play a forward line of naughton, lobb, JUH with lobb helping English with some ruck.

Darcy intercepting down back until he fills out. Realistically he would be a placeholder for Sam Darcy
We can go Naughton, Darcy, JUH forward now but it's a really inexperienced forward line.

the jury is still out as to if Bruce is cooked or not after his ACL. we'll see after a preseason

Quite correct. The due diligence did not continue further. It very much should have

I think it's been well publicised what happened there mate. If it was purely up to Bell we would never have made the trade for Hogan.

Lobbs step father in law and Ross the Boss are no longer at the club.

No he can't. His peak has never been better than Gawn. which is why it'd be a strange pick up by melbourne. Grundy would be a terrible forward.

 

[s_wd6]

No he can't. His peak has never been better than Gawn. which is why it'd be a strange pick up by melbourne. Grundy would be a terrible forward.

But it has been on par, hence the two AA selections.

 

[flipper83]

Bruce and Dogs second rounder for pick 2

Are you suggesting Lobb is worth pick 2?
I thought Freo supporters trying to get pick 11 were deluded but this is a new high!

Are you suggesting Lobb is with pick 2?
I thought Freo supporters trying to get pick 11 we're deluded but this is a new high!

yeah, on par. but he's fallen off a cliff. he hasn't been good even before his injury. I want nothing to do with him unless we pay hin 450k and give coll a late 2nd round pick.

We are either going to be paying Gawn or Grundy big money to play their primary role/position less than 51% of the year

Doesn’t sit well with me when there are other options

 

[flipper83]

I'm not really sure what you're trying to suggest here.

Are you saying that your post, in a thread full of people trying to argue about the trade value of Lobb, deliberately massively over valued him in an attempt to get people to call you out on it?

If so, what do you get from doing such a thing?

I work with a lot of different people with all sorts if issues but the psyche of some bigfooty posters is truly bizarre.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I guess you'll trade for him with your giant haul of picks from ummm Acres and Logue?

They will use their 2 r1s. No need to trade lobb.
