AFL: The Hawks defence could have their hands full, when they face the Bulldogs key forward mafia in their Elimination Final at the MCG.
Amid trade speculation and a resurgent campaign , reborn swingman Rory Lobb says he isn’t focused on his playing future at the Western Bulldogs .
The third-year Bulldog played 15 home-and-away games — and 12-straight since Round 12 — averaging a career-high 13.6 disposals, 5.3 marks, and 2.1 intercept marks. “The way he’s impacting games down back for us now has been enormous, and he’s a real cog in our defence at the moment — he’s been playing some really good footy, and I have no doubt he’s going to impact over this finals series.”Reflecting on his fruitful mid-year switch to the defensive half, Lobb was appreciative of the “straightforward” nature of conversations he had with coach Luke Beveridge.
“I was really excited to go and play that position — yeah, he’s been really good for me … He’s always honest with me.” “All that stuff goes on in the media, so let it sit to the side, and as long as I’m turning up and getting the most out of myself, we’re on the same page.”
