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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
