Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

To adequeatly judge if he has been a good get so far, I would want to know how much we are paying him.

If he is taking 'role player' money, great.

If he is taking star player money, he is going below par.

I think this year he is on about 750K, I'm not sure what the other two years are like.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

From the sounds of things he's somewhere between the two.

He was on star player money at Freo and he IIRC extended his contract at the Dogs so it's less money per year over an extra year.

I think this year he is on about 750K, I'm not sure what the other two years are like.

As Hujsh says it was reported as a 3 year deal worth around $1.5 million.

We restructured the cash over three years, if I remember correctly. Could be wrong.

If we kick the ball properly to him he'd be a chance to hold more marks. He gets more ordinary balls kicked to him than good ones. I would still like to see him clunk some more pack marks that he gets his hands to. He does look like he's starting to fit in our style more than he did earlier in the season

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

He'll take a while to fit in, but it's good that he's contributing. I noticed his physicality around the contest on the weekend, and while he didn't take any marks he managed six tackles which shows he's buying in.

Does anyone have stats on opposition intercept marks in our F50 this year, compared to previous years?
I suspect that's a helpful indicator on Rory Lobb's impact

We’ve turned a club leading goal kicker from Freo into an ineffective winger. For two Pick 30’s. Great plan.

And when he is forward he has to put up with Naughton, Jamarra and Weightman jumping all over him.

Our tall forwards are unbelievably selfish and do not work for each other in any way. Someone like Lobb gets in good position and he's surrounded.

But he's a mastermind right?

Bevo owns this club and we have no leadership to pull it back. He's a ****ing lunatic.

It’s literally ****ing insane. Like no Cisco even thought about what to do with the forward line. It was the right trade, but we are killing it.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

Let's not forget turning another 40+ goal kicker (Bruce) into a VFL defender.

No one is going to sack him. So enjoy the ride of the 747 into the ground. This should’ve been a great trade. But as Jee says, for those reasons and Bevo, we ****ed it up.
