I’m sure when we sold the vision to Lobb having a career best year, this was exactly it.

Was weird Naughton wasnt sent back.

Was weird Naughton wasnt sent back.

Made zero sense. Naughton as at least played there before and Taylor was owning him. Rediculous idea by whomever suggested it.

[The bulldog tragician]

I thought Naughton should have gone back. But I don’t think Lobb has any reason to feel aggrieved about where he is played or that we haven’t delivered on his “vision.” He is on very good money, was happy to burn Freo when coming to us, and hasn’t represented good value so far. He might not have been happy being thrown around, but I’m not happy that his form was so poor that he ended up in the twos either.

Probably not best to look at the extra pick in the high 20’s we will be sending to Freo then…

Taylor was probably beating Naughton, but the notion he was owning him is factually incorrect as it was a pretty even contest. And even though Naughton has played in defence previously when he went back against North earlier this year he was poor.

I?m comfortable with the move of Lobb to defence? it didn?t cost us the game and we were limited in alternatives.

We only had to prevent 1 less goal or kick 1 more. We only kicked 3? goals after Bruce went down. Was Naughton involved in any of them?

Taylor does whatever he likes if Naughton goes back. Naughton was almost playing as a defensive forward on him at times.

Naughton contributed almost nothing.
Weightman ditto.
JUH ditto.
As a forward Lobb contributed nothing.

All were there simply to kick goals. If they had different names they would be dropped.

Jj and Dale contributed as many goals as those 4 experienced forwards combined.

But names (and previous performances) matter don’t they?

I think it’s ridiculous to suggest the likes of Naughton, Marra and Weightman would be dropped based off one poor game… it was shit they all were down at the same time, but they aren’t immune to poor performances.

[bulldogtragic]

Best game for the club. When it flies in quick he’s looks like another player.

[Grantysghost]

Balta not worst on ground.

He's been superb. I take it all back.

[Rocket Science]

Look I don't want to be that guy after a feel good win but one game against a deeply disinterested opponent does not nearly square the ledger with this bloke.

Give me a month of worthwhile contributions and some influence in finals and I'll gladly simmer down.

He's got a long way to go before he repays the investment we've made with him and one very good game doesn't change that.

[D Mitchell]

With 1 minute to go, 9 goals up, my unruly mate declares, "I've seen us lose from here".

I agree for 2 x Pick 30’s he owes us heaps, just merely stating it was his best game so far. Hopefully he can build from here and we see that under a pack he’s ineffective. But quick entry to him on the lead helps him and team. Let’s see.
