Yeah in a weird way that Lobb news is a relief. Willing to reserve judgement on his role for a game where he isn’t compromised.

What’s the difference running around at chf or in the ruck?

I'd say there is more contact in the ruck.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 2 V St Kilda
Lobb has had this issue for years why didn't he get it fixed at Freo or better still did we do a medical and if he told us we should have had it fixed when he first got here.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

He's had surgery? Can't be minor if he's going under the knife. Bell says not too long, 1 - 2 weeks so back mid season.

there Is surgery and there is Surgery. He is getting a clean up. Not like it is an ankle restructure or anything.

Still, it's not like he's going to be running in the next few weeks. I really don't get it, we knew about it, Freo knew about it and we clean it up after Round 1?

He has been training and participating in game simulations? All I am saying is do we know?

“Rory Lobb has developed some catching pain in his ankle, relating to some small loose bodies in the joint that have intermittently caused him issues in the last few years,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.
“To minimise risk of him having recurrent issues, we have decided to be proactive and wash the loose bodies out with an ankle arthroscopy this afternoon.”
Being proactive would have been doing something before the season started. This is the opposite

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 2 V St Kilda
I mean call me pernickety but had I spent a year planning for Lobb in order to refashion our attack around him it might've crossed my mind to nip any persistent ankle dodginess at literally any stage prior to the SEASON OPENER.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 2 V St Kilda
Surgery on an ankle isn't going to be a couple of weeks.
I expect he will be back somewhere around 5-10 weeks.
Bit shit.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 2 V St Kilda
Seeing Lobb only had 2 kicks and attended 9 ruck contests I don’t understand all the tears and wailing at the news that he will miss a game. I know it’s going to totally undermine our shiny new game plan but we do have options other than begging other teams to send some players back.
1. put English at centre half back and tell Daniel to give him leads just forward of the centre. So our backline tactic is Dale to English to Daniel. We are less than a quarter of the way through the alphabet and we only need one decent pass and the three headed monster is lining up for goal.
That’s what all the good teams would do. Melbourne did it with their talent. The ball doesn’t need to go anywhere near the boundary line. Maybe Lipinski can be a guest at training to explain how direct footy works so well at Collingwood.
steps 2-10. Aren’t needed if they work on this.
Then just enjoy the victories. The alternative is to keep what we are doing and hope to fall into 8th again.

Fairly black and white there.
