Rory Lobb Traded to Western Bulldogs

Details of the Trade

In a dramatic twist, Rory Lobb has been traded to the Western Bulldogs in the final minutes of the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period. The 29-year-old forward arrived at Fremantle in the final moments of the 2022 AFL Trade Period and played 20 of a possible 23 games in 2023.

Lobb is expected to have his exit meeting with Fremantle on Wednesday, where he will request a trade to the Bulldogs. The trade is expected to be finalized in the coming days.

Lobb's Career at Fremantle

Lobb joined Fremantle from the Greater Western Sydney Giants in 2022. He had a solid season in 2023, kicking 28 goals in 20 games. However, he was unable to help the Dockers break into the top eight and play finals.

Conclusion

Lobb's trade to the Western Bulldogs is a significant development in the AFL landscape. The Bulldogs have been searching for a key forward to complement Aaron Naughton, and Lobb will provide them with a much-needed target inside 50. Fremantle, on the other hand, will need to find a replacement for Lobb, who was one of their most reliable goal kickers in 2023. This trade could have a major impact on both clubs in the upcoming season.
