Ok, so about all this Rory Lobb talk. These are the big questions in my mind (apologies if they have already been discussed).
1. GWS don't want him to go and are going to play hardball. What would it take to get him? Which picks/players would we trade?
2. Do we even have enough in our salary cap to go after him? Figures floating around the media are $700K+ per year.
3. When Nic Nat eventually comes back... what would we do with Lobb? The only place he could really go would be the forward line, but that might make us top heavy with a resting ruckman also? Maybe Darling would need to move out and into the midfield?
Edit: it didn't read so well when commented in line
1. Probably more than we are willing to give up. First rounder plus a player or two firsts....don't believe a 32 gamer is worth that even based on potential. Although looking at that Tom Boyd trade..Griffin and pick 6, GWS must be very happy with how that panned out
2. We already have Nic Nat on a large salary. wow 700k..no thanks, we could almost(big big pinch of salt) have fyfe for that or rocky not sure who else we could snare with that money.
3. Would have to move forward or become the Uber utility, not sure if Darling to the midfield will ever happen full time, it just hasn't worked.
