Re: Rory Lobb

I believe Freo's stance won't change until they have secured Jackson.

Good call Swoop, lets see how committed they are once they have to cough up for Jackson.

Re: Rory Lobb

Just reading that Freo's offer to Blake Acres was 180K and this was due to salary cap pressures.
We have to be a bit more confident that the Lobb deal could get done given it's speculated he's on 750K next season.

Talking with some people who are Freo supporters a few weeks back say that it's a front ended deal and his last 2 years were on the lower scale. If that is correct I doubt it would be 750k

180k! That's insulting for the year he had.

They've moved on 3 players now might be enough to keep Lobb.

Wow.

That's not quite Collingwood levels of incompetence, but it's poor management of your list (which honestly isn't that good) to need to offer Acres 180K and lose two other senior players for next to nothing.

I'm confident it's not incompetence just that things are tight and they believe they can cover him with other players.
I don't agree with this approach but Carlton offered Acres twice the amount and a 3 year deal and Freo chose not to match it.

For mine it says they clearly overpay their top end too much, and more specifically, what they are going to pay Jackson is beyond his actual worth.

Re: Rory Lobb

Also even on twice that much the offer we had to beat was $360K at Carlton and a future third round pick in a position we have no clear AFL level players in and are discussing trying to convert Schache into?

I really hope we at least had a go.

Re: Rory Lobb

Does Freo bringing in Corbett from Gold Coast help ever so slightly? Different players but more forward depth. Obviously we need the Jackson domino to fall, but maybe there is still a chance.

I think it might factor into their thinking. Not sure if it's enough to get the conversations flowing though.

Re: Rory Lobb

I saw a news report that we had offered pick 30 for Lobb but instead of a refusal they said they wanted something in the 15 to 22 range. I assume that is to help satisfy Melbourne. Need to hold firm on this one as well.

If we trade 30 and something else much later for Brisbane's pick 21 we could probably get this deal over the line.

The Rory Lobb deal to @westernbulldogs is yet to develop.

Current offer of pick 30 from the Dogs has been rejected by @freodockers - if that remains the offer, Lobb would remain at Freo.

Dockers likely to command a pick in the 15-22 range for their contracted forward.

BY rejecting 30 and talking about 15 to 21 means they will trade at the right price

If 21 is the clincher, then we should do it.

Pick 21 = 878 DP’s into Pick 30 (Brisbane -249 DPs)
Pick 56 into out Pick 39 (Brisbane + 252 DP’s plus Pick 69 for 49 DP’s = Brisbane +52 Dp’s)

Swap our 30 & 39 - for - 21 & 56

Dogs: 11, 21, 56

- Keep 11
- Lobb (Pick 21 & Future 4th - for - Lobb & Future 4th tied to North (upgrading our future 4th))
- Jones
- Player (Rayner, Lohmann etc, holding first round value)
- Hunter pick?
- Pick 56

- Future First
- Future 4th upgrade above from Freo
= 2023 First x 2, Second, Third, Fourth (North as good as a late third rounder)

Brisbane help us get Lobb while getting 52 more DP’s. Future First. Player of First Round Value. Everyone walks away with something.


Edit:

Brisbane have all their draft points needs covered.
By burning so many mix round picks, the downgrade from Pick 39 to 56 will likely mean the pick is a little bit higher for us to use. So the difference isn’t as great.

Re: Rory Lobb

21 is overs for a forward whose career best season was kicking 36 goals and who is now 29 years old. Ruck ability fills a need and makes him more valuable than just the goals but... it's overs by a fair way. 30 is marginally over TBH but once bids and stuff come in it's probably about right.

Re: Rory Lobb

21 is a little high, but you have to pay so do it I say.
