Rory Lobb’s shock move to defence saves Bulldogs career: ‘He’s too good to miss out’

Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has flagged Rory Lobb as a solution to his injury woes in defence after the ruck-forward’s strong form behind the ball in a 17-point win over North Melbourne. Beveridge lamented a raft of skill errors in the Dogs’ unconvincing 11.11 to 9.6 victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, feeling his players had let themselves down despite dominating the territory battle.

Lobb had game-high tallies of five intercept marks and a dozen intercept possessions alongside fellow tall backs Liam Jones and James O’Donnell. “He was very good. We’re really happy with that outcome and how well Rory played,” Beveridge said. “He took five intercept marks, had a number of critical spoils and was able to use his speed at times for a big man to close space. “He was pretty composed when he had the ball for most of the night, so that’s a win for us.
