I don't think Lobb gets contemplated by Freo until Jackson does.I’d love to see Sam Power make a really clear take it or leave it offer for Lobb tomorrow.
You have a mandate now.Well, the "score" thus far is 54 likes to 1 dislike. That's in a little under 24 hours since I asked the question. I'm suggesting there is a clear consensus that we should have less tolerance for personal attacks on players and for vilifying individual players in general.
I'd ask that all posters comply with the wishes of your fellow Bulldog supporters and with the Rules of the site and to be civil and respectful when discussing players.
Melican worth a look?
He will make a take it or leave it offer for Lobb. About 5 minutes before the deadline. Then Bell will accept it with about 30 seconds to go. You know how these things work Northern.I’d love to see Sam Power make a really clear take it or leave it offer for Lobb tomorrow.

I think so. No world beater but definitely > MadgenMelican worth a look?
I'm pretty sure clubs urge very cautious use of social media by players, but young guys love it so they usually learn some harsh lessons when they're suddenly in the spotlight. Remember Cody had to disable comments on his Insta page after the 20 EF. And Bevo came out to publicly ask for Gards to be given a fair go. Also notice the older players rarely post anything, many don't even have accounts. That doesn't stop them from copping nasty stuff of course, just not directly.You’ve got your head stuck in the sand if you think some of the posts about McComb are only that he’s a “bad footballer”. Some of the comments on him and Gardiner across the last 12-24 months have been disgraceful.
Why do you think some players refrain from social media? Because for players like the two I mentioned, it means they don’t have to read the abuse handed out to them by some supporters. In here included.
There's a lot of chest-thumping that comes with supporting a team. Egos (supporters') are on the line. It used to be fist fights, but it's easier now to let off steam online, anonymously, and you can really let rip.Add Lewy and Jong's names to that list.
All the above mentioned players have been solid citizens for the club, tried their very best within the boundary's of their skill set, they were all depth players who were so proud to pull on the dogs Jersey.
But there is a group of supporters on here that relentless bash them. WTF??
Is it the social media conundrum?
If they don't meet your instant gratification, they must be s**t.
Here's a thought, maybe your expectations are way off the mark, the issues are more about you, than the doggies players you are bagging.
doubt it would happen but would completely change who we’d go afterIf we can somehow get pick 7 & 15 in the dunks trade imagine if we could do Hunter 13 & 15 to North for Pick 1
Ambitious but damn it would be good
North would be absolute fools to even contemplate thatIf we can somehow get pick 7 & 15 in the dunks trade imagine if we could do Hunter 13 & 15 to North for Pick 1

This abuse of McComb has now even got to the point that if another random player is being abused, people will quote the post simply to throw McCombs name into the abuse mix.You’ve got your head stuck in the sand if you think some of the posts about McComb are only that he’s a “bad footballer”.

Sheezel or Wardlaw?

He's the backline version of Mohocek. A good honest player, neat disposal, 1-2cms shorter than he should be for the position he plays but always gives his all.Melican worth a look?
There is a great book about being a female sport journalist by Lynn Truss called ‘Get Her Off The Pitch’. She recounts being a female sport journalist in the 1980’s and 90’s, to the horror of many.This abuse of McComb has now even got to the point that if another random player is being abused, people will quote the post simply to throw McCombs name into the abuse
Not sure he would give up the 750k that his contract is apparently worth.I could imagine Lobb sitting next year out if Freo can’t agree to a deal

There’s an interesting turn going on at my other footy club, Everton. We bought Alex Iwobi for £35M a few years ago and after failing to deliver he became almost a figure of fun at the club. His name on the team sheet was met with groans and his social media flooded with abuse. This year, under a new manager and a new system he has blossomed into our best player. The lad is absolutely brimming with confidence and getting better and better.There is a great book about being a female sport journalist by Lynn Truss called ‘Get Her Off The Pitch’.

She was assigned to follow Tottenham Hotspur for a season and report weekly in a Sunday paper. Being not a soccer fan, her biggest surprise was the presence of the ‘whipping boy’ for Tottenham, a phenomenon of which she was previously unaware.
She noted that even when the aforementioned whipping boy scored a screamer, the general feeling was, ‘Well it’s about time, he ducking owed us.’ He couldn’t win, whatever he did.
Its not just footy fans.
But we can't get the best player with pick 1. Ashcroft is clearly the number 1 pick. So in effect you are getting pick 2If we can somehow get pick 7 & 15 in the dunks trade imagine if we could do Hunter 13 & 15 to North for Pick 1
