I think this trade request timing is interesting
There will be follow up articles and commentary around "we all know lobb wants to go, is it time to bring in the mid season trade period) and subsequently it could happen next year imo. It should anyway, but this will be the starting point for the discussion
His Instagram clips generate toxic levels of cringe. On brand that DUDORO had to be talked out of drafting this clown over Zach.
For anyone who wants an endorphin rush. Heres the moment we decided to draft our fearless captain/modern great/future essendon hall of famer instead of Rory Lobb
It really was dumb recruiting to get Lobb in when you know you’ve got Naughton, JUH and Sam Darcy already on your list. What team is ever going to roll with 4 players near or over 200cm in the one forward line?
Depends on the cost and the terms.
If he costs the same as Sam Wiedeman in a trade and is willing to play VFL, I’d still take him as forward line depth.
Costs any more or demands minimal VFL, no thanks.
But Merrett over Lobb is the greatest stroke of luck Essendon has had in the last, ahh fk it, probably ever.
And there is absolutely zero chance the dogs play hardball over this, it’s 100% posturing. They’ll want as much of his contract off the books as possible.
Clearly the Dogs have gone with the big sales pitch to get him. No way they’d have said to him we will give you $250K a year and you’ll be a fringe player. It’s not quite the Grundy situation at Melbourne, but it’s up there. A poor fit from the start.
He’s an absolute crab, I dont even want him in the vfl
Sam Draper proven right.
Tell ya what, if I was a club wanting to recruit him I’d ban Lobb from social media. Needs to grow up and stop posting ■■■■ when he gets dropped for being a spud. Only team that could possibly use him would be Norf.
From memory they were chasing him for a few years.
Wonder if they just got in too deep and didn’t want to back out.
Lobb winning the front loaded contract jumpathon
What does he post on social media?
Mainly stupid cringe stuff complaining about being put in the VFL.
what a moron
If the club I supported picked up Rory Lobb I’d be furious.
He’s just an entirely useless player. There is no reason to pick him up, at all.
Bet he ends up at Collingwood and has 2 disposals in their 2025 premiership
Lobb would be a mid season trade candidate to the pies.
Carrying the side for the last five years will cause that.
