Rory Lobb

Re: Rory Lobb

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.

Right now their first pick is 44. Lobb goes on my post, they’re now got two picks inside 40. They have to take it if we’re generous enough to offer it.

So we go 11, 45, 69, Lobb & Jones - with Dunkley ??

Have you heard of a little fella called 'Josh Dunkley'??

I would be surprised if it didn't get done, wouldn't you?

Nope.

I think we are genuinely prepared to dig our heels in.

I won't be. Not convinced we are chips in with getting him across. The valuations of both teams seems to be further apart than just a slight compromise might be able to close.

I'm absolutely all for it, mind you.

Rory Lobb trade now cranks into motion. There is growing momentum for a move as the Dockers try to extract maximum compensation if they do trade him to the Dogs, having got their man Jackson

and

Callum Twomey

Fremantle and the Western Bulldogs expected to discuss Rory Lobb tomorrow, with the Dockers forward remaining adamant on a move to the Dogs with a year to go on his contract.

Peter Ryan reports:

Rory Lobb remains one of the most intriguing players on the trade table, with the 29-year-old desperate to get to the Western Bulldogs.

He has already moved to Melbourne in the expectation of being traded, which sources said was a reasonable expectation because the Dockers indicated at the end of last year’s trade period they would be happy to move him on this season, despite one year remaining on his contract.

The Bulldogs and the Dockers will meet on Tuesday to thrash out the options. That could go either way but it at least gives Lobb some hope.

30 & 39 to either Freo, or to a third party for a pick int he 20s.

Re: Rory Lobb

God I’m so unenthusiastic about this trade. Let’s hope another club ‘swoops’ on him.

Re: Rory Lobb

Anyway to trade 30 and 39 for a 20s pick with a lil something coming back? Still need to draft a third kid

Can always trade back into this draft with a future pick too.
I'm sure we'll canvas pick trades between now and draft day

I find the prospect of the Ruck/Forward tandem with English very enticing.

"It is progressing in the right way. The Dunkley deal will probably need to be done first to initiate the Lobb deal to Dog. Pick 21 plays a role in both deals here I am told. It could go the distance."
