Fremantle have relented on their desire to keep Rory Lobb in Perth, sending the forward to the Western Bulldogs via trade.
The Dockers were determined to keep Lobb – who is contracted for 2023 – but ultimately let him depart after being compensated by the Bulldogs with pick 30 plus a future second round pick.
Whitten Oval will be Lobb’s third AFL home after playing for GWS between 2014 and 2018.
Lobb joins the Bulldogs having kicked 143 goals from 140 career games.
His trade caps off a big trade period for Fremantle who brought in Luke Jackson and Josh Corbett while losing Lobb, Blake Acres, Griffin Logue and Darcy Tucker to Melbourne-based clubs.
