Re: Rory Lobb

30 + 39 to West Coast for 26?
30 + 39 to St Kilda for 28 and 47?

The Saints can bid on McKenzie if he slides past their pick can't they? They might think 28 and 47 will help them land him

Re: Rory Lobb

I believe under the new rules they can only bid if he slides beyond Pick 40, similar to Essendon with Munkara. It's safe to say McKenzie won't be sliding that far!

Yes, I should have known that.

Crazily I spoke to the man himself about that we coined it the Marra rule. AKA can’t have the Dogs benefiting rule.

Melbourne missed out on Mac Andrew due to it, he was their nga player.

Edit : Now I remember it was about one of his brothers who he thinks is very good but won’t get to us due to his rule.

Re: Rory Lobb

Can we give them a F3 as well?

Why would we do that? Why overpay?

Re: Rory Lobb

I don't think pick 21 for Lobb is unreasonable. Sure he's 30 but even 2 good season playing a difficult rand somewhat unique role in a side that is trying to challenge is probably 70% more likely to be better than anything a pick 21 player produces.

Draft picks are severely overrated, which again is why I'm amazed how cheap players are being traded for. Acres for pick 40 odd is amazing value, Logue for pick 19ish is amazing.

Top 30 draft picks are important in getting talent onto your list, but in and of themselves they are a lucky dip that is rigged against the club.

I'd honestly be surprised if there is even a statistically big difference between pick 21 and 30.

He has 2 seasons with over 20 goals so honestly feel that 21 is too much. Having said that agree with your thoughts on it being a bit of pot luck. These are 2014 - 2020 drafts for picks 20-22 and 29-31. Putting in spoiler tags as it takes up a lot of space and not everyone will be interested.

I was thinking pick swaps?

As a player 21 is definitely unreasonable but he's contracted and he's worth what we are prepared to pay. Pick 21 and Freo are making out like bandits but we may need to do it because we're reasonable and we seem to be really into him.

Re: Rory Lobb

Does Freo need Lobb as much now that the Jackson trade has gone through?
It will be the land of the Giants if it's Lobb, Jackson, Tabener and Treacy. Fyfe likely to spend more time forward as well.

It's a good question. I had heard that were thinking of playing him in a Blicavs type role so if that's true that may be able to keep them all.
Be interesting.

Does he have a Blicavs type tank?

Re: Rory Lobb

Not sure anyone does

I think his endurance is pretty good for a big guy?

Re: Rory Lobb

I don't think he has. Very few do. Blicavs is also good defensively and I think Lobb is a bit more two dimensional.

Re: Rory Lobb

Freo now have Pick 44.

Assuming they want more than Pick 30. Now Pick 30 & 39 for Lobb & 44. That huge five pick upgrade is ‘more’ than just pick 30. Barely, but it is.

Yep - about as far as we should be willing to go.

I still think this trade gets done. Freo know he really doesn't want to be there, once declined via a trade happens, but twice? Has that ever happened?

It's not like they dont have options with Amiss, Treacy, Jackson and Tabener. Lobb is ahead of at least 3, but for the sake of 'moving on' I think they'll pull the trigger.
