Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

We needed a second ruck and someone that can play forward and Lobb fills that role.

Yes he could have done more in the season, but I think he was worth pursing. Darcy will fill this role when Lobb retires.

Hearing what Goldy said the other night on Fox Footy I wouldn't be in a hurry to ruck Darcy again until he has put on some beef. Goldy said corkies happen all the time when rucking. I didn't like to hear that when thinking about Darc.

It's the point I've been trying to make. He's not ready to ruck and might be 12 months or more away from being able to handle it. We should be in no hurry to throw him into the ruck.

Yes but surely Darc will be a regular next year. Backline?

I just want him to get a full preseason in and some continuity at the lower level. The senior chances will come.

This is the confusing thing. Preseason Bevo said he’s a forward, second ruck. In last nights presser Bevo talked about our KPDs being out and name checked Darcy.

I dunno?

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Rory Lobb

Who in his right mind would ever want to play ruck ? At centre bounce, the ball's in the air, you have to keep your eye on it, meanwhile there's a malevolent monster with knees the size of Uluru aimed straight at the family jewels. Goldstein's corkies ? the least concern. What sadist brought the line across the circle into the game ?

It's a hard job isn't it? Very specialized.

Thanks ancestors, for keeping sufficient flanker-size bases DNA in the gene pool.

Wasn't this an anti Luke Darcy rule like the repealed clean take being prior opportunity.

It's almost like BAD's origin story as a crusader against rule changes. Every year since then he's been in the shadows railing against rule changes day and night, rain, hail and shine.

He's more machine than man now......

Gary Dempsey and Peter Moore. 1979 Prelim. They lined up side by side and wrestled, like a boundary throw in.

They changed that one back after working out it was a stupid change.

I am still working on reversing the Hocking rules.
