Lobb out for Freo?
------------------------------
Fremantle forward Rory Lobb appears set to miss the Dockers’ top-four shaping clash against Richmond, with the spearhead a noticeable absentee at training in Melbourne on Thursday.
Lobb injured his shoulder in their loss to Sydney at the weekend, but played out the match, with coach Justin Longmuir saying he was hopeful the forward would be available as late as Tuesday.
The Dockers’ leading goalkicker was not on the track at North Port Oval, the home of VFL side Port Melbourne, as the players went through their usual captain’s run.
Wingman Liam Henry and midfielder Mitch Crowden have travelled with the team, while vice-captain and star defender Alex Pearce looks set to return after missing the past two games with a calf injury.
Pearce’s return could mean swingman Griffin Logue returns to the forward line, kicking two goals in their win over Brisbane earlier this year as well as playing as a defensive forward.
Logue is set not to be needed in defence, with the Tigers to have a smaller forward line in the absence of hamstrung key forward Tom Lynch.
