Opinion Rory Lobb

[YelloMit]

If I'm correct, Rory Lobb from GWS is out of contract at the end of this year. 206cm/102kg power forward/ruckman with a great contested grab and a decent set shot. Also a WA boy. I think he's worth a look. Might be tough to take since it IS GWS....

 

[Ysaye]

If are close to the bottom and he wants to come for the $, lure him through into the pre-season draft.

His name has been mentioned on other posts as a potential target. Going alright this year.

2 goals so far today against Hawks which makes 9 from 6 games.

Should get a better look at him next week when we play them

How is this a rumour thread, shouldn't this just go into the draft and free agents one?

Unless we offer way overs for him then there is no chance, he is sure to attract some offers from a vic club, lets focus on getting mccarthy first

Crap, forgot about that. Mods, please move this to that thread please.

Who did he barrack for?

He is a WA boy and we are likely to finish close to the bottom.
I'd love to get him for nothing via the PSD.

Lobb & McCarthy at freo next year would be damn exciting!

 

[electricfeel]

Far out he's playing a ripper right now!!

 

[se17enteen]

He is contracted til the end of 2017

 

[ydraw]

8 contested marks and 4 goals today

He is contracted til the end of 2017

This is the key point.
Wait until next season.

Unless we cough up pick #1 for him and McCarthy, it won't happen.

Pick 3 for Lobb, McCarthy and Pickett?

 

[leeloo]

Yeah that's not happening now.

GWS won't let Lobb go. They'll let Patton go before letting Lobb go.

If Patton resigns then go hard at him.

Offer him 800k for 5 years, and then see what he says. We should be able to out bid him.

Rumours last week was that GWS were shopping Patton around to a few Melbourne clubs. They clearly don't need him.

Interesting that GWS have let go of their WA recruiters. Will concentrate on Vic's and their Academy kids instead.

Black Ducks !!!!!!.

Maybe we need to go after them rather than their players?

 

[Kunna17]

Lobb + McCarthy for our first round is not a bad trade for us IGNORING the fact we should be able to get McCarthy virtually free now.
Still dont think it looks to bad if we can find our way into the first round another way or potentially look at incorporating GWS first round pick into this deal as well.

 

[DMan 11]

What is GWS's ruck situation though ?
Pretty sure Lobb would be integral to their long term plans.... Like others have said, more likely they'll let surplus stock of KPP's go first

 

[Kunna17]

maybe Clarke could be of interest then? given his importance to them.
Doubt anything would happen, but if he really wants to go, after the McCarthy situation, I can't see them saying No.

 

[E Shed]

GWS wouldn't give Lobb alone up for our first rounder let alone more our way. What do they need another pick for? They need players to play now & Lobb is fast becoming a star.
why would he leave anyway? They are setup for sustained finals starting this year.
No chance.

Our recent history of missing on talls, better to develop young kids or get mature age players.
