AFL.com.au understands the key defender has triggered an extension for next year.

The 30-year-old signed a three-year deal with an option for a fourth season when the Western Bulldogs beat St Kilda to lure him from Adelaide at the end of 2019.

Updated the list.

I can't seem to find confirmation on the length of Lobb's contract yet, unless I've missed something?

I don't think it is too bad. Outside of Cody, Ed and Gardner nobody is getting a long term extension with a bunch of other guys looking at one year deals or leaving the club. End of 2024 is when Baz, Marra, Tim, and Naughton come off the books.
