I thought the same it was an interesting interview. Seems legit wants out.

I read it as: Prioritise me, or be prepared to lose me

I knew it, Danjul is Dwight Schrute.

[Danjul]

He has better spectacles. Otherwise very close.

Rory Lobb = Daniel Bandy v2

Haha. Very good.

[comrade]

Rory Lobb = Daniel Bandy v2

Which is still a big upgrade on whatever we’re rolling with now.

[Mantis]

Rory Lobb = Daniel Bandy v2

So I guess you prefer Zaine Cordy?

Decent comparison and I didn't mind Daniel Bandy with us.

I'm not as keen on Lobb mainly from an effort point of view but he would compliment our side OK.

Their respective outputs forward and in the ruck is close enough to make spending the extra money a meaningless proposition. If it happens I don't think we'll end up liking it. I would coax Roughead back or if we're interested (and I'm not) look at Mason Cox as he is essentially the same player but way cheaper.
Casboult again even.

Really? Have you compared their seasons thus far?

The terms of contract would need to be suitable from our end, but to say that their outputs is similar is just incorrect.

Daniel Bandy first season with us was pretty good I thought. To me he was a bit of a cult figure. Could Run all day, ruck and take a few marks forward. Plus the name, meant you could put him anywhere to be the "Band-aid".

Not sure what happened afterwards, in the second year.

Some interesting stats , in 2002 kicked 30 goals and played 22 games for us !

I should have said Cam Wight I suppose.

I haven't compared them no and I realise Cordy is bad but Lobb is really not very good either. I don't think I'm incorrect saying that Lobb in and Cordy out will make a any kind of meaningful difference, which is essentially what the point is.

I've had a bit of a look at Lobb's stats this year what do you like about them? Got 15 touches once, has taken 6 marks once and has kicked 3 goals once. I mean, aside from pure numbers Lobb has also been on the ground 30% more than Zaine so he's going to see more of it isn't he? Also playing different roles one defensive and one more attacking Rory gets it more, but he burns it more as well.

Freo actually being good is helping Lobb as far as I'm concerned but I'm not convinced he's making a big contribution to that. Zaine gets shovelled around everywhere. Anyway, I'm not nitpicking stats you're right he's probably better than Cordy but that's irrelevant because I wouldn't play either of them.

Legit if we're after a forward who can relieve Engish of ruck duties for 5-8 minutes a quarter I'd prefer Casboult / Cox over Lobb. At least Levi is hitting the scoreboard this year, is a better mark than Lobb in any type of situation and is a free agent (not sure if he has signed on another year yet?), so would be cheap. Lobb wants good coin. And the whole point of getting in this type of player would be that they'd need to play long minutes as a forward, with English in the ruck, or play in the VFL. Sweet can't play this role effectively (at least we don't think he can). If we're more ruck backup focused cause we really don't want to play Sweet if English gets injured go Cox then. Would cost nothing. Casboult / Cox / Roughhead would essentially cost a list spot.

It's not ideal but neither is meeting Rory's likely outrageous demands for what you get. Did everyone see Casboult man handle Lobb in the ruck contest that led to Casboult's snap goal in their game last week? Ultimately If we're not developing Darcy as a ruckman now then we really need to draft the best available ruckman later this year so we can put the 'let's look at all the sub-par players over 200cm we can get in' to rest.
