13 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

is that so? all the talk is that he's definitely out the door, which seems unfathomable to me after the sort of season he's been having

He still could be.  Maybe freo can't get the deal done and he is going to WCE.

ala Cerra to the dees last year but the shoe is on the other foot!

    Lucy, we are getting confused here about Lobb and Jacko.

    My original post was about Freo wanting Lobb to stay, who is contracted btw for next year, in connection to not getting Jacko.

    Whatwhatsaywhat was commenting on Lobb's good year this year and that the word is he's gone, even though he is contracted.

    I'm choosing to believe it's true but just for today. A person can dream!

    The fact that Freo are now wanting Lobb to stay, might be due to someone not coming to them.

    pretty sure freo have never not wanted lobb to stay regardless of any other options they've been looking at

    If they got the bloke they wanted, his salary would cause them to let go of players and Lobb has stated his partner wants to get back to the East Coast. Freo might not want Lobb to go, but if they get their man and hopefully not, they will need to make cap space.

    Im not saying trade, as per the second line in my statement "could look elsewhere"

    purely if he asked for a trade.

    He has played about 4 games and shows a lot of promise. 
    Why would he ask for a trade?

    Not at all. You have to earn your spot in a  good side. The Club need Bedford going forward. Osker Baker will need to look elsewhere

    Yes you did.

    If he shows promise and is not getting a game, why wouldn't he look around?

    It's not just clubs that let players go, players also leave because they want better opportunities.

    But he is getting games in a side that has September intensions. That is not to say he still needs improvement in his game

    That's the whole point, he is not getting regular games and that is why he may decide to move on.

    Still a big chance to play in this years finals. Would be a foolish thing to do. He will be a regular in ‘23

    Whose place will he take in 23 to be a regular?

    That is entirely up to Toby. He kicks excellent goals and has serious pace. He just needs a bigger tank.

    Always about Bedford. He has raw talent that needs to be trained, would be very disappointed if he didn’t become a serious MFC Player in future.

    I disagree - he has excellent pace and a big tank. You'll see him in the top 5 or so endurance runners at the club, as well as the fastest top 5. His big let down is his kicking, in spite of him kicking a few ripping goals.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
