Are you talking flags Scrag? Admittedly (and I don’t admit being wrong to you lightly) you were right & I was wrong last preseason in regards to how we’d go this season
I bow down to your superior footy knowledge

I'm holding off on making any predictions or having any expectations for now. Still too many uncertainties. If Bevo rocks up to preseason with a weird haircut or another strange facial hair decision i'll be worried.
I was definitely in the “we don’t really need him” camp but gee he will definitely make us harder to play against. Which is what it’s all about. So much firepower in the air now.

Lobb is a better contested mark the Bruce i feel so even better
I’d still like Naughton to take some of the forward-50 boundary throw-in ruck contests when within snapping distance (and right side of the ground). He was developing it as a really nice weapon late in the season.

I just listened to the ten minute interview on the dogs website in its entirety, fuvk me. Those journos were asking some shit questions trying to bait him for headlines. Poor bloke just wanted to say he’s glad to be here while those gutter slugs were trying to drag out of him how shit he felt at freo.
Welcome Rory! Was big on getting him all the way through. Allows Darcy to develop without pressure, behind the ball and gives English and Naughton a chop out forward and in the ruck.
Would love to use English and Lobb in a similar way to Geelong's ruck set up this year. English take the majority of centre bounces then sit back behind the ball and intercept, protecting the defence and taking all defensive half stoppages. Lobb plays as 2nd KF and forward half stoppages.

It was held in Perth wasn't it? So you had all your Perth journos there wanting a soundgrab. The first presser he has here there won't be one question about Freo because nobody gives a stuff about them.
Correct his interview was held in Perth

In the final he clunked grabs all around the 50. And kicked straight. It was extremely annoying to watch live. At the very least he’ll never do that to us again. And at the very best. He’ll regularly do it for us.

Got a sneaking suspicion Rory will be in a stack of highlight packages next year……………Naighton is gonna love using him as a step ladder.

If he came back with a mohawk I would immediately sign him up to coach for another 3 years. Charity petition anyone?

If combat ever breaks out, Lobb wielding West as a club would be unbeatable.
I’d say if we get 50 games out of Lobb (ideally most/all with Naughty and English) then that would be a big win.
Really good cover for both of them, plus offers a genuine marking target around the ground….always feel we’ve been a player light in this regard under Bevo.
Should time perfectly in regards of handing the keys over to Darcy in another 2-3 years.
Savvy recruit…allows us to compete while developing our young talls and sort of fills two holes.

Number of goals he will average per week?

Yeah I believe so, he did have Knee trouble most of last year so I’m not sure if that needed a clean out or not but there’s been no talk of off season surgery - plus he mentioned he did a 2 week block of training in the US over the offseason with some other players so I think he’ll be good to go for the start of preseason
