Why Essendon picked Giles, one of football's great mysteries. They chose Shaun Mckernan as a standalone ruck over him FFS
So why then did they pick up Giles and refuse to play him until Round 18, choosing to ruck Mckernan standalone against guys like All Australian behemoth Todd Goldstein?Because they lost Ryder
This isn't TPFP fantasy land you know...Just came up with some potential trades if Lobbe does leave for Richmond's pick 12:
pick 10 for Dixon.
Pick 12 and pick 65 for Redden and pick 21.
Pick 29, 2016 second pick and O'Shea for Menzel.
Moore and pick 47 for Toumpas.
Overall:
Out: 10, Lobbe, 12, 65, 29, ?, O'Shea, Moore and 47.
In: Dixon, Redden, 21, Menzel, Toumpas.
Pick 21 could be used on a player such as Ah Chee, Burton, Milera, Collins, Clarke or Oliver.
If we were to acquire these players we would be one of the favorites for the flag next year.
What they would bring to the team:
- Inside grunt from Redden.
- Power forward in Dixon.
- Silky forward to release Wingard up the ground more often.
- Toumpas as outside depth with the potential to be a regular in the team.

So far fetched it's ridiculous tbh.

It's very unlikely to happen, I know, but there's also a chance it could happen.
Yuck apart from Lycett
I still think Lycett would be a good option if we do go ahead and trade Lobbe.
He has proven that he can take a mark up forward which is going to become more valuable next year with the sub rule gone.
Yes, I cringe every time I see Polec play.Lycett's WAFL form has been worse than Lobbe's AFL form. He looked pretty good throughout 2014, but so did Lobbe...
Yet we want to bring in one and and get rid of the other? Good old grass is greener complex shining through here.
For what it's worth, if offered pick 12 for Lobbe I would take it. But I find this circlejerk for ex SANFL guys like Toumpas and Lycett by people who haven't seen them play since their junior years (and most likely didn't even see them then but heard the hype) cringeworthy.
Why are Port supporters so determined to run our own players down?

Of course the logical explanation for this is they've been running with Trent Ormond-Allen as 2015 ruckcoach.
You leave Doreen out of this!Darren Smith has been wondering this for years.
Well given a 2 ruck strategy is essential next year if you're going to even consider trading Lobbe then you've got to get another equal or better ruckman. The problem is there aren't any available.The idea that we could get Pick 12 for Lobbe... and then people want to trade it for another player is killing me right now.
Tis a laugh.. Ken said Lobbe not being traded .. end of storyThe idea that we could get Pick 12 for Lobbe... and then people want to trade it for another player is killing me right now.

It's all a moot point though because the club won't give up Lobbe regardless. Lobbe for pick 12 isn't going to help our premiership aspirations.
Dixon won't and shouldn't move out of the forward half. He's an investment in our future as our main forward for the next 5 years, you don't risk him elsewhere and you let him settle and develop there.I don't agree with the bolded. We have 3 players who can pinch hit while playing other positions.
If someone can convince Trengove (who apparently hates rucking) to be the 2nd ruck, Then I'm all for Pick 12 for Lobbe.
