Any other year getting Lobb and this thread would be 200 pages by now. Welcome to Freo Rory!!!
Freo said before that Rory wants to play forward and they will play him there. So he will only help out in ruck if needed

Sandi should be managed all season. Have Sandi play 2 weeks in 3 or something like that. Ease Darcy into it.
Welcome Rory!

I was going to ask in the trades and drafts portal whether it was fair or not. Too me it seems fair enoug.
Honestly i rate him and he would be massive on our transition from the back half to the forward 50.
Fair is fair and i hope freo and gws continue to treat each other with respect going forward.
Lobb should be in the squad on most good days
Lets hope he has a good day for 23 straight weekends

I can see us using Sandi & Darcy in tandem for the first half of the season. Sandi to play say 7 out of 10 games, with Darcy increasing his minutes week by week.
In the second phase of the season, Darcy will take over more responsibility and Sandi will phase off to maybe just home games.
Tabs & Lobb will provide backup for moments each quarter, when required.
Remember that Sandi is still on the list to give one on training to Darcy.

Welcome Rory, your highlight reel is amazing, some of the markng is spectacular. Being 205 cm and being able to play forward, ruck or on a wing is helpful too. I am feeling pumped for our new look team, we will definitely challenge for the 8 now.

We overpaid. But he'll do good.
Great get imo....we can play one recognised ruck in Darcy and Lobb can perform the ruck duties in the front half.

In isolation this trade's probably the one we got shafted most in. Having said that I think the moves well worth it, really sAves us from putting all our eggs in one basket and gives us healthy competition in the forward line. Im hoping we can find a structure that allows Cox to fit in as a 4th tall, but not sure how this would work yet. Hogan and Lobb are both good athletes for their size, Tabs is aerobically very capable and Cox seems to have good pace, maybe it could work. West Coast managed to fit Darling Kennedy Lycett and Waterman in one line up this year, athletically/position wise maybe Hogan = Darling, Tabs = Kennedy, Lobb = Lycett and Cox = Waterman.
Hogan's also shown an ability to move into the middle for periods and Cox could be swung back, it's not like we've got a great deal of gun smalls/mids to challenge them either. Over to you ross, Make it work!

I don't think that we over paid at all.
Very happy with this trade.

Great marketing move.
The sale of long sleeve Guernsey's is one to watch for next year.
