Re: List Management 2015

I would say his set shots aren't the best but his snaps for goal are not atrocious.

His snaps are outstanding

Re: List Management 2015

Apparently we only missed on Lobbe because we couldn't get in contact with him.
Wanted a medical, and wouldn't sign unless he did one .
We were willing to give up pick 11 for him

Thank God we couldn't find him. He's laughing anyway picking up 600 grand to play in the SANFL.

I reckon he'll be battling to get a gig by seasons end

Yes I just read that off a tweet from AW's Sam McClure.

@sam_mcclure: Matthew Lobbe was going to WB for pick 11 on a 4 yr deal. But Dogs couldn't do a medical because he was in Vietnam. Deal then fell through. Was happy to go to the Dogs to be No. 1 ruckman. Port were happy with pick 11.

IF this is true, I am left wondering why we were so reactive, leaving it to the eleventh hour, and appearing to be disorganised ? It would appear Lobbe was an afterthought having not checked him out earlier. Hopefully we were better than that.

He must have been our 3rd or 4th choice if that's all true. I think we were into Martin and maybe Leuenberger before Lobbe. It does look bad but could be a blessing as I don't think Lobbe is much better than Campbell

Scoop Mclure also Said Lake spoke to Beveridge in the hope of playing one more year Bevo was keen but after talking to assistant coaches decided not to.

Interesting.

I actually wouldn't have been against it.

Re: Lobbe, if true, I will eternally be grateful he went to Vietnam, because that would have been an abysmal trade.

Re: List Management 2015

Lobbe for pick 36 next year after an indifferent year I'm predicting. That's about right I'd say if he was happy with us and we with him.

Bate, Dawes, Gumbleton, Lobbe (for 11). Good luck or good management??

Lonergan and Greenwood too.

Somebody's watching over us.

Koops, Street, Rawlings, Young, Vezpremi, Sherman.... That somebody is doing ok, but they need to lift their game.

Re: List Management 2015

I think port might have changed their mind when we put 11 on the table .
They were posturing about being a required player constantly .

Re: List Management 2015

Not sure why the negativity on Lobbe. He was borderline elite in 2013-2014 when he was 1st ruck and he would undoubtedly be an upgrade on any of our current ruckmen - some of us are rating Campbell and Roughy on potential to improve and not on current output thus far, and we all know Minno's limitations in the modern game. My only problem with the trade would be the over-weighting of similar ruck types on our list - Lobbe is basically a better version of Campbell and Minson in all facets, and had we picked him up and not off-loaded at least Minson then our list would be top-heavy.

Goldstein used to really struggle when rucking in tandem with McIntosh and has blossomed since being given the #1 mantle. Lobbe is currently in a similar position at Port - he thrives on the extra workload and responsibility of being head banana.

As BT has noted, it will be Port's loss not to have traded Lobbe this year because there's no way that Ryder and Dixon won't be played next year with the fat contracts that they are on. Hopefully he has another indifferent year and can be picked up on the cheap in 12 months' time

This would be my hope - especially considering he knows we're interested
