Averaging 11 disposals, 7 hitouts and 1.2 goals a game as a ruck/forward this year. Will probably end up with about 30 goals at the end of the year.
Has age on his side so he's worth a first rounder, but I don't think we'd need to give up pick 3 on its own.
Time to upper cut yourself, lobbe is worth every inch of pick 3 ( this year, and for FFC only)
People tend to overlook the whole proven v unproven aspect of drafting v trading.
Lobbe is a ready made prototype ruck/fwd that could have an immediate impact. Not only this, to secure a proven kpf, nay ruckman in a draft is still much harder to pick than the plethora of mids and flankers available each year.
We'll be desperately short of a quality ruck in years to come and don't have the luxury of drafting a project ruck.
Imagine the spine of Ap, Collins, lobbe, McCarthy/tabs and apeness - that's a handy, versatile and very mobile bunch of KPP's.
The contested marking aspect of AFL is becoming so vital that any player with this strength Is likely to be valued as highly as those with immaculate foot skills.
