Could be gone and not play at either level.

Not sure that says much either way

Just saying if he plays VFL this week and isn’t even considered an EMG for the seniors - it shows where he sits in the pecking order right now and that he’s out of favour. Whether that’s for form or off field antics or a mixture of both who knows but when he’s on 600k+ being on the out of selection is pretty telling

 

[doggies ftw]

Darcy development. Thats my only concern about the Lobb move.

I see Darcy as more of a forward/ruck than defender mind you.

Just can’t worry about that right now though - need to aim to compete for the next two flags and let’s be honest Darcy’s played all of 6 vfl games.

Would be nice to use the end of this season (which is shot) to see if he’s a realistic shot at offering anything at AFL level next year though which would give us a better idea of whether we should be going for Lobb or not.

Either way if Darcy comes on quick and Lobb is depth, great result for us but we need to give ourselves the best opportunity to win the flag next year

 

[grassman75]

Wallis and Dunkley I reckon

Wallis and Hunter I reckon

Others def out for mine would be Martin & Butler

Possibles
VDM, Sweet, Crozier...all guesses of course

Fair call.

Have my concerns with his development too but I feel Lobb, along with Jones makes the team instantly better. Also feel that some time in defence will actually help Darcy in the long run as he can learn running patterns from the best forwards.

He is also is a tall that may take years before being AFL ready. Lobb as a stop gap until he is ready wont hurt him and may help to learn off him.

I don't understand if this is a legitimate question. Sweet is a better straight up ruckman than Lobb, but Lobb is 10x the forward... and he can pinch hit and compete in the ruck. The two aren't comparable. Sweet is a no. 1 ruck but we already have English.

Ummm...I never mentioned Sweet.

English, Darcy, Lobb.

All 205cm+

You're saying that we'd play all of them in the team along with Number 1 197cm JuH, Naughton, and another one or two key backs.

And I didn't even mention the fact we'd be paying overs for this downhill skier....

What downhill skiier?

Lobb has been good all year

 

[hatescaptcha]

If we could get an upgrade from our second to a mid first (12-15) for Hunter. I’d absolutely take that.

He’ll be turning 28 at the end of this season and he’s not getting any quicker. Could see the game moving past him quickly.

Give West the #7.

Hunter is not worth much. Agree on a 3rd pick salary dump

 

[grassman75]

And his brother Let Cordy!

Apparently there are some cousins Deuce and New Balls somewhere up the country too

For those who are looking at a small fast pressure forward, what is your opinion on Lazzaro. Hasn't had a great year and is on the outer ot the Roos but has some genuine talent and speed. Also a pretty solid shot at goal.

I don't know much about Lazzaro but I like the jig of Paul Hunter.

Which tells me we'll pay even bigger overs for him. We'd be nuts.

Nobody is addressing the issues I raised however. It just won't work.

Apologies, clearly didn't read you whole post.

That being said, I think we can play them all. Marra is starting to apply more pressure and Naughts is awesome at it. I will say though that the Mids will need to be on song still.

It would be Lobb, Bruce and Naughton

What is Sweet worth?

Appears a serviceable ruckman, who can compete at AFL without being a world beater. I expect him to explore his options this year and next year. Not sure where he will get a game but at his age he isn’t delist material.

We need to perhaps draft a ruckman then? Maybe another rookie

A future 3rd or so?

What'd Max Lynch go for?

Who would we have an interest in from Giants? Big salary cap issues there

Definitely but would probably be the most untouchable player on their list

Darcy hasn't even debuted yet, he's not going to be a regular next year - if he even starts his career forward.
Bruce may not even be on the list in 2024.

The playing groups hate each other, would be a hard sell to get a Giants player to us
