Saints reportedly interested in Rory Lobb

Obviously we will have cap to spend, but I would rather look at other options than Lobb. When he is on he would be a good side kick for Max, but he just doesnt perform consistently enough for me. Plus our trading history with Fremantle is questionable.

[CURLY]

No thanks. Seems to be a front runner.

[D.B.Cooper]

Not a ruckman, can pinch hit in the ruck at best.
Average key forward.
Not a pack bust open or real hard working grunt player.
Not a lead up player either so likely to crowd King.
Would have to cost very little to get him.

Would rather a young ruck in tandem with Heath or to bring McEvoy home for a season if he is fit and healthy if Paddy retires and we are looking for a mature ruckman. Draper would have been a great get and well identified by the Saints when we targeted him, perhaps Xerri.

[CQ SAINT]

I'm happy with Marshall and Hayes.

[skeptic]

Weren’t we interested in him before?

[Laurie]

Definitely pass not interested

[outside66]

If Ryder isn't going around again then I'd rather us go for Goldstein as an UFA (providing that Xerri isn't still keen to come over).

Xerri will be the cherry on top ....for us. Along with Amon.

Sounds like someone knows something.

Too old to be wasting draft pick(s) on!!!

[Sainternist]

Lobb will be turning 30 next year

[Beno88]

Soft as butter, but a massive upgrade on Campbell.

[D.B.Cooper]

Lobb is well named, he's certainly not a smash, serve or winner!

[avid]

Wasn't it two or three years ago that he took one of the most courageous marks of all time?
It's pretty easy to call someone "soft" from the sidelines.

No one playing AFL is soft in my opinion.

Built like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

We're better off - far better off - putting a package of Ross, Billings, Geary, Wood - for B King

You wouldn't even get Billie Jean King with that package.

If the rumours are correct, the guy we are hopefully focusing on for 2023 is Karl Amon. He's a skilled playmaker: just what we need.

Amon was excellent again last night. Great mover, sure hands and an excellent kick.

Yep spot on saynta we are slowly but surely getting elite ball users not just inside mid's & Amon would be a great get NWM is just pure class so glad we picked him up & Windy & Owens are very handy too . I know the jury is still out but we have some real special talent in our development group which is credit to our recruiting staff IMO anyway

[SunnyErnie]

I have just been advised that Amon has agreed to $650k by 3 years with triggers for a fourth.

You’re full of s***

Yep, early days but I'm rapt with how all our recent draftees are going. I know nwm is getting a lot of love but I really think Windy has got something special about him as well. Got the classic build to become that explosive type midfielder who could go forward and kick a few.

But again, early days.

That's a fair deal for Amon.
Well done by Port to re-sign him.
