Where were all these people saying lobb is Carey when we scored 55pts in rd 2 last year and loss to the saints at home?
Everyone said we won’t make finals last year we don’t have a fwd line
Now one of our fwds have left and we don’t have a fwd line I don’t get it?
We haven’t had a fwd line since Pav dominated the league from 05-08.
Just s**t can freo if you like don’t need to add bullshit to justify the hate!

So will come up against his old side this weeks game(that’s if he doesn’t suddenly conjure up some mystery injury in the meantime, ruling himself out)
Quite amusing listen to all the experts carry on how much of a loss he’s been for freo but simultaneously ignoring how much of a non factor he’s been with the bulldogs .
Rory be loving collecting his pay cheque for the output he’s delivering under virtual anonymity

This is a lose/lose trade like it seemed at the time. Tabs is cooked and we’d be one or two more wins ahead having him clunking marks on our often terrible entries like he was last year.
Dogs didn’t need him and it was a weird move

Tim English has been our best player this season. Acquiring Rory Lobb was always to benefit him - of course it can’t all be attributed to Lobb and it isn’t, but if all he does is give Tim a chop out, he’s done his job.
He has also freed up Naughton and Ugle-Hagan weather the last 2 weeks has made it look worse
He is far from our biggest issue and has done what he has needed to for the most part what else do you want me to say? His job is to free up other players

Not having ruck relief was a big reason we got spanked in a grand final. We gave up a second round pick and salary that was unlikely to go anywhere else.

Bell burning the future second they got for Lobb on Jaeger O’Meara is the cherry on top of this trade.

You shouldnt give up 2 2nd rounders for a bit part second ruck when you can fill that hole with a rookie pick.

You shouldn't give up 2 1st rounders for a second ruck either but Fremantle had no issues doing so.

So your argument that is because freo made a stupid list management decision you making a stupid list management decision is ok? That seems pretty stupid to me.

Dogs still have two firsts and a second for this year at lest. Not like their draft capital has disappeared

Not at all. Rory Lobb clearly fills a hole on our list. He hasn’t set the world on fire but last night is absolutely the perfect example of why he was needed.
The game plan we have set up relies on us having a player who can ruck and play forward and for too long we had players like Josh Bruce and Josh Schache thrown there. It was meaning English was cooked before the last quarter started.
English is now comfortably the All Australian ruckman and barring injury will stay that way. Lobb is on track for a 20 goal season and if he cleans up his accuracy could lift that to 25-30. I’m not sure there are many second rucks in the comp who will do that - and if you have any examples of teams finding a 20-30 goal second ruckman in a rookie draft I’d love to see how you’ve come to the conclusion that it’s more likely than unlikely.
And on top of all of that - we didn’t really give up a hell of a lot for him.

We have given up 2 picks in the 30s for the best forward ruck in the comp. If he cleans up hi set shot kicking you wouldn't even be arguing

Best forward ruck in the comp? Hes nowhere near that.
Do you mean a forward who can ruck? As the other poster said nowhere near it. Not even close.
Do you mean a ruck who can play forward? He is a bit closer there but there are significantly better players going around who do that.
Who is better at it then? He free's up both English and Naughton as teams have to take him seriously as a forward and as a ruckman
Not even close yet names no one?
