lol Wallace just absolutely trashed Lobbe. Said "his time has past, I wouldn't be looking at him at all. Sorry to his family if they are listening but that's the way it is."

A port supporter emailed in asking what it would take to offload Lobbe, and they were like "a fifth rounder at best."

did lol.

I'm listening to Fiveaa and it sounds as though Birdman has been starved of oxygen at some point in his existence..this man is their head of football
It's as though he is reading from a list of set responses
Would have been written months ago. They knew this was coming. His commitment to 5AA has pushed him back in his slot on Trade Radio, lol. I expect he'll parrot the same responses there.

You answered your own question - it's not a real club.

They set up a stale, vanilla, process and structure driven, corporate like environment and then wonder why nobody wants to play there. There is no history, no culture, no genuine supporter engagement, no long time volunteers telling you stories about decades past, no club rooms to go back to. They are the Matthew Lobbe of AFL clubs - they don't have a soul.

So when a player gets offered more money (Phil Davis, Kurt Tippett), better working conditions aka living in your home state (Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Gunston, Jake Lever) or a combination of the two, what actual reason is there to stay?
Lobbe does not deserve that slur! ;)
