Re: Rory Lobb

That's pretty unequivocal.

I don't think they're bluffing.

Unequivocal and bluffing are very watery words during the trade period.

Lobb seems the type of guy who is a bit laconic and may not give 100% next year if his head isn't in it. Feel like he'd hold a grudge especially after they said they'll help him out with a trade next season and then go back on that. He is under contract but I think us holding onto Dunkley last year really was a very bold stance.

Typically, if a player wants out bad enough I'm not sure if there is big value in keeping that player at your club. Dunkley is a professional and a premiership player with us so we obviously thought we would get one more push out of him this season in the hope of going deep in the finals. We certainly got 100%. Lobb owes Freo nothing other than the last year of his contract the connection there is much thinner.

Freo probably think they're a shot next year with Jackson and Lobb but I still feel they're a young team who played out of their skin this year and are still 2-3 years away from a consistent top 4 team.

Just the out we need to go get Grundy.

I have read some anime comics that contained Karate.

You ready for that?!

I think with the fresh avatar, a ruck replacement is required in your signature.

Re: Rory Lobb

Grundy and English would be great. English can bide his time as a forward/ruck and learn from Grundy while he gets stronger and more experienced. SO much better than an English/Lobb combo. I really hope we're looking at Grundy.

What would he cost in picks?

Yeah I'm not sure. Flipping #branddunks into Grundy? Would that be a good move? Maybe with a little change.

No way. We make that trade and we are 2021 premiers. Never forget what they took from you.

McStay to Pies
Dunkley to Lions
Grundy to us

That’ll be whatever Sam Power’s annual salary is thank you.

Re: Rory Lobb

It's funny that Grundy has become a much better player the longer he has been out injured, not happening anyways.

I would have thought it's the other way around. A slow start to the year and then an injury and everyone seems to have forgotten he has been in the top 2 ruckmen in the league for the past 4 or 5 years and is still only 28. The bloke has absolutely destroyed us on multiple occasions.

I don't disagree on the set-up, I quite like it, but English is 25. I reckon it's too late for him to be biding his time. If we don't see him as a first ruck next year, we transition him to the "Lobb" role and make it a thing.
