He hasn’t done a lot either, 3 years in.

You seemingly tried to add him to the Lobbe deal.

Bad news for you I think.

no we didn’t

 

[Taylor]

no we didn’t

That was Colin Young I believe.

He is like a real estate agent showing clients he is selling for the homes of other clients he is selling for so he can double dip commissions.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Noble has been vocal about getting a pacey player like him in

 

[Cobbler]

Would he get a game in Geelong’s best 22 or would he be required to fulfil the standard 3 years in VFL?

Best 22, contracted and wanted, young.

People talking late or future 2nds and 3rds are going to have some bad news coming.

But but the player…

The irony.

Bell just confirmed that we didn’t offer Freo Hill, Or Cogs.

 

[halfback dasher]

Would offer 2022 first fro Hill and 13 this yr .

 

[Cobbler]

You want to compare Lobb and Hill? Seriously?

Both want out. Apparently. Both for personal reasons.

Whats not to compare?

Your comments yesterday are hilarious when 24 hours later it’s exact same scenario with Hill and your tune changed to sound exactly how Freo supporters feel about Lobb.

Funny that.

 

[eastfreo75]

For Rory Lobb?!
That's being generous.

GWS wants Fremantle to pay half his wages as well.

 

[freo99]

Not sure Bobby would like Sam’s discipline.

But if he took to it he could live up to his potential.

Lobb as in Rory, yes
Lobbe as in Matty, no.

& he is not alone. The go home factor might make that approach a successful business model.

Geel Out: J.Clark + F1 + F4

Freo in: J.Clark
Freo out: R.Lobb

GWS in: Lobb
GWS out: I.Hill

Ess In: I.Hill + F1 (Geel) + F4 (Geel)
Ess Out: F1 + F2

To be honest, I think Essendon gets the worst deal here. Straight up future 2nd is reasonable for Hill without likely downgrading your 1st

Not at all the exact same case.
A bloke at the end of his career vs someone at the beginning.

Nothing to do with my comment.

Yesterday you were saying Freo should just deal to release Lobb. We were offered well unders. Most supporters would be ok with moving Lobb or any player for that matter so long as it was fair. But he is contracted and very much needed, so fair possibly wouldn’t get it done. That was all we are arguing. Future 2nd isn’t in any way a good deal.

Now Bobby wants out and you’re singing the exact same tune. THE EXACT as what we are.

Doesn’t matter if he’s young and Lobbs old.

You want overs. Rightfully so. That is what is the EXACT nature of my comment.

Laughable.

Don’t want overs at all.

also never said that it was wrong that Freo demand overs for Lobb.
I said Freo were well with in their rights to demand what they want.
I also said that the Giants shouldn’t, hopefully wont, pay overs.
All I said yesterday was Young was playing both clubs. Again.
Think you have your Giants fans mixed up.

 

[Groater]

That's pretty risky for Hawthorn. How would you feel if that becomes a top 2 pick?

Fine ......iv my thoughts on next yrs draft v this yrs .

 

[Libbaaaa]

Contracted not as important with only one year left. As is usually the case the player will get to their desired location once he nominates.

Probably do have wrong poster. Apologies.

Good luck with rest of trades.

 

[Fluro Boots]

If Hawthorn were to be involved I’d love it if freo were interested in O’meara for example. Build it into a lobb trade with picks to square up between us and it could end up a very good win win

 

[Guardian Hawk]

A find it a little amusing that some of the prices thrown around are similar or less than the likes of Tom Mitchell or Jaeger O'Meara

I get there is a difference in age but Bobby Hill is a fringe small forward who not once has had more than 15 touches in a game (averaging less than 10). He doesn't lay that many tackles (less than 3) or kick many goals (0.8 per game). He's a nippy little player that could develop into a handy small forward.

The old Bigfooty adage of "better to be young than good" springs to mind.

(Please note this is not a go at Bobby Hill. I would be happy for Hawthorn to pick him up. Just noticing the contrast with some posters where multiple All Australians/Brownlow winners, etc. are worth less than fringe players)

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Would he get a game in Geelong’s best 22 or would he be required to fulfil the standard 3 years in VFL?

Nah he would play.

Age does matter.

I can’t believe some of the suggestions being thrown around for him.
