      Smith to Hawks is much better. They can split their pick to GCS. Give us our first back, and with English compo, we can have back to back top 10 picks, and a future Hawks pick. Then we keep Lobb.

      Good thinking BAD. I agree with you.

        Re: Trade Rumours 2024

        If there was a mid season trade period there would be a couple of clubs asking about bringing Lobb too their club.
        It would be interesting to get an idea of how other clubs might value his services.

          Why don't we?

          I've been a detractor, however the guy is a giant and athletic as hell. How we can't find a place for him is beyond me.

          Shirley we knew what we were getting? I get Darcy has progressed quickly and all.

          We need tall defenders - why not play him down there in the VFL and see if he can do the role instead of watching him wither on the vine.

            Yep. Of all our tall forwards, play him back with his no playing defence ever. If only we had another tall who’d played defence very well as a junior if we need to move someone.

              This would be my spine currently I've said it before. Naughton can swing.

                I would have Darcy in front of Lobb and Lobb doing the ruck with English.

                  They didn't see Lobb's last game in the VFL which was nothing to write home about so I wouldn't say he's banging the door down at state league level where he should be dominating.
                  Collingwood can have him, he's contracted so they can pony up.

                    Same, with English at half-back.

                      Makes too much sense.

                          I’d only play one of Darcy or Lobb even with Naughton back.

                          We are too tall with the way we carelessly deliver the ball inside 50.

                            I was at the game on Sunday and the ball was kicked to the top of the square. Up went JUH, Naughton and I think Darcy, with English standing there. My mate who had been bagging English said , see English didn't even go for the mark

                              As he shouldn’t have.
                              He probably did the right thing. , the question is who out of the other 3 was the other doing the right thing?
                              Obviously two of the others shouldn’t have been going for it.
