Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
I don?t get the love for Lobb. Two good games in two years is not enough. He is the back up man. It?s great that he can contribute, on occasion, but he just hasn?t performed consistently enough to retain his place. And he certainly hasn?t performed consistently enough to have us play around with our structure to fit him in.
Regarding our backline, where is all the angst coming from? They are performing well. If we are looking to the future, it?s JOD and Busslinger, not Lobb or Naughton down back.

Based on the Fremantle game Lobb does not deserve to be dropped. 107 ranking points 3 goals 19 disposals 6 marks 3 tackles 2 clearances. If anyone else had those stats they wouldn't be omitted.

And quite possibly the MC will agree. But if fit, I would be bringing in Naughton and Darcy, which means I would be omitting Lobb. And I would see no issue with selection integrity. One good game is simply not enough. Darcy has a body of work behind him this season, Lobb has one good performance in a game where our entire forward line feasted.
The Angels have the phone box. Don't blink!

I guess Garcia didn't deserve to lose his spot either, but Richards is just a better footballer.
Like Darcy is to Lobb.
The curse is dead.

Garcia was dropped because he had things to work on according to Mr Beveridge.

Hopefully he can just tell Rory the same thing.
Though it just seems Bevo was just sugar coating Garcia being drop for a better player.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
It not going to happen but given we are coming off a big win in which Lobb, Marra, Weigtman, Bont and West were great, Naughton could play CHB.
I dismissed it all along given his forward value but the team found forward targets aplenty without him.
Naughton at CHB could be interesting in the second half of the premiership season.
Sam Darcy will replace Naughton's goal tally no probs and his marking power.

He does, but worst of all, he lies to himself.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
In terms of Naughts going back to allow Lobb to keep his spot:
- I believe Naughts adds more value to our side as a forward rather than as a defender
- I also believe Lobb has more value as a R2/KPF than whoever we select alongside Jones and JOD as a KPD
I guess to me it's value we get from having Lobb in over say Buku/Buss - value we lose from moving Naughts.

You?re effectively saying:
Lobb forward & Naughton back > Naughton forward & Buku (or whoever isn?t Naughts) back
I think you?re probably right but we?ll never get a chance to have it proven or not.
