Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

Yep. Lobster time.

Hope Naughts recovers soon. In meantime?..

C?mon Lobster!!

Also hoping Bedendo gets a chance too. Could be our Bailey Fritsch - minus the Alfred E. Neuman grin.

Assume Lobb gets first crack but I wouldn't rule out going smaller and picking somebody like Bedendo.

Khamis kicked 40 odd goals last year…

Khamis?

[josie]

Naughts is unique with his tackling and ground level pressure. I like Lobb but can see ball waltzing out F50 too much with him, Darcy and Marra there.

Agree a smaller, more mobile forward might be the go. Bedendo hasn?t shown a real lot at VFL level but my fingers still crossed for him.

That's who my mind went to as someone who has Naughton's leap and agility and can kick a goal.

[josie]

We breed someone to compete at ground level and tackle well. Not sure Khamis or Bedendo offer that. Will be an interesting watch.

Still won’t trade Lobb if there’s any risk on Naughton next year. Or maybe at all.

Club saying optimistic it’s not an ACL.

Khamis?

Happy Days will be pleased

[Happy Days]

I would seriously prefer Khamis to Lobb as a Naughton replacement. We aren't going to replace his goals but it’s vital we go some way to replacing his work on the ground.

[jeemak]

Bring Lobb in and play Darcy forward exclusively, so he can get up and down the ground. Keep Lobb at home when he's not relieving in the ruck, taking some heat of Marra.

[Bigdog]

I got a feel Buku could come in forward rather than Lobb. I don?t think Lobb for Naughton is very like for like.

[Sedat]

Yep, Lobb is a seasoned AFL footballer who has a big engine and can play forward and ruck. He's miles ahead of Buku as Naughton's replacement. IMO.

I would also deploy English a kick behind down back when he is not rucking, and go smaller and less predictable when Lobb takes his turn in ruck

[my plums]

If Bedendon kicks goal in the twos this weekend, I'm picking him.
