I think the difference here is that Lobb has actually done what we wanted him to do. He bridged the gap between drafting Sam Darcy, and Sam Darcy's development putting him ahead of Lobb. The fact it's happened just 12 months into the deal is a blessing because it actually means we can trade Rory...

To be honest I just want a WA club to do to Sydney what they've tried to do to other clubs recently by offering a through the roof contract to force their hand.

No, it was initially reported he signed a 1.5M 3 year deal, it has since come out he's on a 4 year deal (so 2 years remaining after this season). The figure wasn't updated but you can assume he's on somewhere between 375-500k per season.

I wouldn't call below average wage expensive.

This is very true.

End of next year. Agree - would love to get him signed up long term.

Yeah I completely ballsed up my post, what I intended to write was there are no reports stating why (without it sounding speculative at best).

Yep - completely reasonable to expect that the deal is 500k per year, but until another number comes up it's not really worth it to try and figure out what he's actually on because it really comes down to whether other clubs would take it on and at this stage Tom Morris and Jon Ralph are both...

I don't think many that put much thought into it would fault the club. The best case scenario when recruiting Lobb was that this would happen, we could trade him 2 years in because Darcy has come on quicker than we thought, and get a fairly decent return for him. You know what the worst case...

He signed a 1.5m deal, over 4 years. $375K per season, relatively speaking that's peanuts. His form at the Dogs hasn't been that bad, he has been a goal a game forward ruck who can pinch hit in the ruck, whilst generally playing as the third tall forward (behind Naughton and Jamarra). He's no...

Or that he is leaving. My memory is that Lobb doesn't want to play primarily ruck and if English leaves then that's what he will be doing.

There haven’t been any reports suggesting he wants to leave. But he hasn’t signed. He’s a tricky book to read. I don’t think he’d leave with any ill feelings but at the end of the day he’s a commercial juggernaut and it’s probably not ideal for him to be at a smaller club to maximise on those...

It would be moronic because it’s Lobb. My point was those three teams need someone who plays Lobbs position (key forward who assists in the ruck).

The teams that make sense from a positional point of view are North, Saints, Dees, Tigers and Pies. But it’s Rory Lobb, so who knows. His salary is actually really low at around 400k or so, he’d likely play regular footy at at least four of the clubs I mentioned. I also don’t really have an...

Early signs of being a first rounder. 2026 draft.

Did you miss the part where I said "Even if it were true that we received a gift"? Which says it's not true but let's travel to the bloodsbigot fairy land where apparently it is. You'd think for someone who supports a team that has lost 3 grand finals in 10 years by a collective 166 points...

Even if it were true that we received a gift, Sydney supporters pretending like they've no history of gifts is funny.

How does one have 11 scoring shots if they kick 5.7?

There aren't any I can think of. Easton Wood forward lasted like 1-2 weeks from memory. Perhaps the reluctance to have Roughead play down back in his later years once Tim had really taken the role over, but I'm clutching at straws a bit.

I thought Jon Ralph last night said Ed was up to his 5th..

If Gold Coast are into Daniel Rioli they aren’t going to want Dale as well, given the connection to Dimma I’d suggest Rioli would be the more likely get. Besides. I’d much much prefer to keep Dale.

Only missing 3-5 games (considering we have a bye) is an incredible result..

Pretty much, the upside is massive, of course the ACL is a concern but the fact is he is performing at an above expected level, prior to his peak. Top ten picks have been spent on worse.

I don't know if this is reflective in stats or not, but one thing I've really noticed this year - at least lately, is our pressure is absolutely through the roof. I feel like it's approaching 2015 and 16 levels of there always being someone there to put a player under pressure. Seeing some...

I’m not sure I mentioned anything about Baileys worth in my post?

Sydney season low inside 50s must be the umpires fault as well. Good grief. You’d think half the people in here hate the game.

He grabbed his knee?

I don’t mean any disrespect but is this going on a bit long?

Bevo confirmed Sanders sub on Fox Footy.

Sanders will be sub.
