Good, he has his own cryptocurrency. WizCoin.
Hands down, Lobb has performed better as a ruck than a forward. Even in his golden year, 2016, he still only kicked like 29 goals.
Break even in the stoppages and spread hard on oppo ruckman. Take the odd grab in the forward line and around the ground. You can't leave him forward.
Even this year he has barely taken marks and certainly not many in the F50. I would pick him 4th as a KPF for us behind Hogan, Tabs and Cox.
We are a chance like a bunch of other teams - but are a bit light on in terms of midfield depth. Having Connor Blakely back in will help that, hopefully will see Steven Hill at some point in the second half of the season, and improved development from Andrew Brayshaw (needs to work on his kicking) and Adam Cerra could help.
If Sandilands gets back on the park and we're in the mix say at the bye, then I think we're a big shot with 6x6x6 rule and in general extra support for the ruck. He would neutralise and / or beat majority of other ruckmen - but that's a big if.

Top 8 lock , assume other team have injuries and no players coming back from injuries .
I wonder how good they'd be with Neale there instead of Hogan.
How long is a piece of string?
Hogan being here not only spreads the load game day, but also raises the bar for the other forwards.
The conundrum is whether we can play Sean Darcy as well as our 3 tall forwards and Lobb.

Not as good

I think we'd need to play a few mid tier teams before its clear whether we stack up, teams like Port, bombers, hawks etc.
For me, i think we'll finish just outside, just due to constant structure changes, certain players just not being able to stay constantly on the park and fringe players getting the call up but not being settled. Then there is dilemmas like Sandilands being played/rested and the team making adjustments around the ruck position.

Let the cobblers do the cobbling
We lose in an away preliminary final
I have a solid, reliable answer to this question.
Maybe.

Well your mob is next in line to face freo. Its in Adelaide oval as well
Freo will have a much improved season, but 10 - 12 games won is realistic.
Just miss out on finals ?.
The footy gods will have the say, as it depends on the injury toll for all teams.

Considering it was the 2nd anniversary of Hogan's dad's death, I think he did incredibly well. He marks solidly and doesn't hog the ball. He helped to construct a lot of our goals tonight. He got taken off in the last quarter with a minor finger injury.neale there instead of Hogan? hmmm, based on the weekends games that takes away 14 marks including 5 x i50 and 3 goals and adds a bunch of handballs.... i know which one i'd prefer
We have been winning more games without Neale. He was great at building up his personal disposal numbers, but often his deliveries weren't great. I feel Freo's team is much more balanced now, and loving finally having some reliable forwards.
We sat towards the bottom of the ladder with Neale - I think our team actually works better without him. Can't wait for Blakely to come back, which should be pretty soon.

Can't wait for our percentage boost when we play Carlton
lol... I wouldn't be so sure of that
No real reason not to think they wont.
Away win against the giants will go a long way with confidence to win on the road which is critical to get the required wins.
Top 8 atleast on current form.
