He’s quite terrible. No physicality what so ever. If he was 196cm and not 207cm tall he’d be delisted or have never made it to an afl list.

That’s the perfect description. He has his weird chip on his shoulder about being tall. But he plays like he’s a small forward struggling.you know how they say some players "play tall"

The literally only positive Lobb has brought this season is getting rid of his stutter step. So now instead of laughing at how shit he is we just feel depressed about how shit he is.you know how they say some players "play tall"

He’s a ruck, against Vardy and Nicnat all game. He did well. Lobb should be dominating without Barrass or McGovern.I haven't seen the replay and I never will, but I can't see how Darcy was any better than Lobb today.
He kicked two and then the ball never went down there. I don't personally think Darcy did well in the ruck. His follow up was appauling. Something Meek does very well.He’s a ruck, against Vardy and Nicnat all game. He did well. Lobb should be dominating without Barrass or McGovern.
Then be a link up option, go up the ground. You noticed that Tabs isn’t taking marks because Lobb hangs around? Starting to think Rory is a dumb footballer who just uses his height as an excuse to clunk marksHe kicked two and then the ball never went down there. I don't personally think Darcy did well in the ruck. His follow up was appauling. Something Meek does very well.
Tabs was taking heaps of marks when the ball was going down there properly and before they put Allen on him and started kicking it on his head. Doubt it had anything to do with Lobb. I suspect not having the third tall had a kick on effect right through our forwatdline, especially for Shultz. Freddie hasn't been the same since Adelaide. I hope it's just fatigue. Crowden is inconsistent. We seem to live and die by winning the clearances because we are a poor defensive running side, and we got smashed there after half time. WC had loose men outside the contest, everywhere. Our tackles were pointless. .Our back line was inadequate in very difficult circumstances. Lobb seemed to be the least of our problems though hardly blameless.Then be a link up option, go up the ground. You noticed that Tabs isn’t taking marks because Lobb hangs around?

Well Deathly was right he was better than Hogan for us. Too bad that was a complete non-achievement and Lobb is the second worst trade of the last 10 years.
I still think his role is important I just wish he'd go hard. Dude, you are massive, hurts some ****s!
We really can’t afford anything else but going to the draft.I'm done with this bloke and I'm counting down the days until he's out of contract.
Embodied the attitude of the team.
I don't care how limited Meek is, I genuinely feel awful that he lost his place in the side to this player.
Put him in the backline. Burn him. He needs to play on any of Brisbane talls and be accountable.He's just not a presense up forward and is getting beat by people smaller than him. Can't imagine how much more embarassed he could have been if Eagles had their first backline in and he was better matched for height and "strength" (Something he needs to be told to start throwing around for once in his life). Club won't drop him, so he needs to be put back on the wing to half contests and take marks, then rest forward. Useless if he's rotting in the forward line before going into the ruck for 0 impact. Kind of like your buddy who I said awhile ago needs to be splitting time and going into the middle more. No idea why Crowden wasn't being tried on the ball, 0 shuffling by the coaches elsewhere on the ground unless it was to help the backline.

Our salary cap is tight, which is strange for a team that hasn’t played finals for 6 years?
Well if Dustin Fletcher could play down back for the Bombers, it could work?Put him in the backline. Burn him. He needs to play on any of Brisbane talls and be accountable.
Fool Jlo to think he could drop Treacy and be comfortable with Lobb and Tabs. Never again. Play Meek/Darcy with Tabs/Treacy and Lobb can go down back.
I don't think so.Said it before, Lobb is a merc.
Why? He continuously has spoken about that. On the field there’s no excuse. You’re timid then it’ll show on the field and players feed off that.I don't think so.
Didn't he have problems with bullies as a teenager? He seems timid and that wouldn't be a surprise given that experience.
Lobb can take a few marks as the spare man. He ll he’s forced to man up and be tougher.Well if Dustin Fletcher could play down back for the Bombers, it could work?
It appears that they are doing things differently with Cox too?
Brander is another forward not
Playing there.
Jlo will have to work it out that conservative footy is very predictable, easy to counter.
A Lobb, Treacy, Meek on Kennedy, all 3 would be interesting.
I wasn't making an excuse for it, simply responding to the idea he is a mercenary, which I don't think he is.Why? He continuously has spoken about that. On the field there’s no excuse. You’re timid then it’ll show on the field and players feed off that.
At the moment, his 2020 form and this season so far, he’s becoming more and more of a B grade player. He has the potential, but he needs to have the heart and desire to be that.I wasn't making an excuse for it, simply responding to the idea he is a mercenary, which I don't think he is.
I would argue he has only briefly been better than B grade at the Giants in 2016.At the moment, his 2020 form and this season so far, he’s becoming more and more of a B grade player. He has the potential, but he needs to have the heart and desire to be that.
100% bad idea. Floating back from the ruck as a spare, sure. Actually manning a forward?I have zero confidence that Lobb is capable of playing as a backman at AFL level.
