His days playing AFL are numbered.

Yep, but hopefully that number is a really big one

Not on evidence. He’s already missing games regularly due to injury and is too stupid to not play midfield anymore.

 

[Swiggy]

Wouldn’t mind lobb

Still think if Neale leaves we have to go for hogan

 

[apuchar]

Someones view on the mainboard about Conca

He's also gone, Tigers aren't even going to try and keep him.

A Richmond supporters view on him

If his body holds up he is a very handy defensive mid who wins the footy, runs all day and tackles like a machine. Best 22 for most clubs I would have thought

The 6-6-6 centre bounce rule may not have a huge impact for the need of another tall forward but extending the goal square (or whatever it will be called going forward) will. How many times without Sandi, Fyfe and Tabs did we not have any tall targets for a get out kick to at least make a contest? IMO there’ll be a need for talls to cover the next long kick wing to wing. Even better if they have high endurance to then be able to break forward.

Totally agree about not having a marking target on the wings or on the kickout. Especially noticeable without Sandi. Apeness was good on his second game back but then got injured again.

I can see Wilson kicking the ball down the guts and Lobb taking a contested mark. Then the hard runners getting a handball receive and kicking to another runner into an empty f50 and GOAL.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Lobb is only 25 and has played 70 odd games. His best is ahead of him, he’s 207 cm and can take a strong mark. If we get him I think he will end up being a very astute pickup. Get him in I say.

Crikey i didnt realise he is so tall

 

[Simmofreo]

I’d also like to know how many goals their tall forwards kicked when he was in this role, compared to when he wasn’t or wasn’t playing, and if he took any heat/defenders off them.

He started as the main target but then Harry Himmleberg basically took over.

If HH can improve his kick for goal I rate him as high as Jeremy Cameron.

This allowed Lobb to play more ruck

But if HH was not there Lobb would have been the number 1 forward target

Isn't Tabs already in the team to play that role though? Not to mention Fyfe, Cox and Darcy should all be able to do it as well to some degree. Tabs and Lobb are just so similiar that you're wasting your time having both.

 

[freodog]

With Adelaide losing McGovern, I wonder if they will come after Cox?

No chance.

This had nothing to do with Simpson getting injured.

They would have to pry him out of our cold dead hands.

 

[ChimpaWompa]

woz'al this then?

 

[nurries]

I think Lobb is going to nominate Freo. Might be that?

 

[Deathly]

woz'al this then?

After 3 years of intense back and forth discussion we have won the Heppell war finally?

 

[apuchar]

Good get

HOG.....


Oh forget it!

 

[Righteo]

Probably something underwhelming re:Conca.

Maybe he finally heard Cerra signed a new deal

Or Brad isn't going to Hawks
