Rumour Rory Lobb to the Suns

[GC2015]

According to Lobb's manager, neither he or Lobb have courted any offers from Victorian clubs but his manager also can't guarantee he'll be playing for Fremantle next year. Sounds like we (the Suns) are knee deep in this one and just about have Lobb over the line to join us this off season.

If true, it's going to be difficult for any backline to stop the twin towers of King (202cm) and Lobb (206cm) next year.

I just hope you guys can get the ball to them

Touk Miller, Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson, Hugh Greenwood, David Swallow, Brandon Ellis, Lachie Weller, Jeremy Sharp and Elijah Hollands. I'm sure we'll be fine but thanks for your concern

Isn't the rumour his partner wants to move to Melbourne for work?

Tread carefully with Lobb.
Built like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

The Dockers were desperate for a big forward (still are) and IMO paid overs for him.

On reportedly around $750 000 per year.

I'd be passing.

Freo would be stoked to clear the contract I reckon - he’s played some good footy for them but not worth the cash.

Run with Treacy and Taberner - strip the Suns first pick - open up money for a run at Bolton or pretty much any West Aussie.

They wouldn't be getting a first round pick for Lobb with the contract he's on

We would be if we don't want to trade him which i can imagine is that case.

Lobb and King is a scary Combo till Kings goes to Saints in a few years.

 

[Two Planks]

Suns had 2 metre Peter and wouldn't play him. Is Lobb any better than 2MP or Day.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Would the Suns allow him to train in Melb and fly in for games?

Until it comes to ground and teams walk it back out

Lobb is one of these blokes who looks awesome in flashes but simply isn't that good IMO. Suns could do worse though, like offering Ratkins 5 years

 

[HBFlanker]

Lobb and pick 9 to GCS.

Pick 5 and Third rounder to Fremantle.

Draft point index wise it works out to be around pick 23ish in terms of draft index points.

Lobb and King is a scary combo til you remember that one of them is Lobb

I think thats a pretty fair deal.

Day can't seem to get on the park these days. I guess Lobb also gives options as a backup ruck in case they want to maximise their flexibility.

Having said that, he'll be 29 next season. Not sure I'd be splurging on a long term deal on megabucks if I were the Suns.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Do Suns realise it would have to be pretty much worse than the Weller deal for us to let him go? We have all of 3 KPFs on the list...

 

[Two Planks]

Laughable any talk of top 10 picks being involved

 

[StillAtLarge]

Lobb is the modern day Justin Kozshitske. Played a decent 6 games about 5 years ago but has been poo ever since

 

[Supersuns]

Nice work from Lobbs manager to make Lobb seem desirable so he can get to his Vic team of choice.

Would be a stupid idea trying to get him to the Suns for the price we would have to pay.
Pass

 

[kreglze]

Lobbs manager doing bits.

His manager knows the Suns are looking for a player like him so throws it out there. Very little to no chance Lobb is at the Sun's in 2022.

 

[freo_leo29]

Why would Fremantle trade 1 of 3 KPF on our list?

Taberner is injury prone
Treacy is 18
Lobb actually gets on the park

They would have to offer us something stupid like pick 5 for him which would be utter stupidity by the suns


This wouldn't be a salary dump, it would be poaching a key player on 700k. Can't see it happening

Well they did give you pick 2 for Weller so might be worth seeing what they offer (If they offer)

lol, they wont be giving you a first rounder for lobb.

what is it with freo supporters and overrating their players this year. theyre gonna end up with every pick in the first round at this rate.
