‘They do come after me’: Bulldogs big man responds to media critics

Western Bulldogs big man Rory Lobb has fired up at his critics over the years, saying he now has a balanced lifestyle to be able to deal with his detractors.

The 31-year-old is about to embark on his second season at the Dogs, having played 20 games in his debut campaign for the club.

Lobb left Fremantle after several years of seeking a move back to Victoria, with intense media speculation surrounding him as he sealed a move to his third club.

“The AFL is a big business and people don’t see that side (of it),” he told 3AW Football’s Saturday Sit Down.

“Players come and go all the time and because I’ve spoken out a bit more, I expected them to come after me.

“For some reason (the media) do come after me a bit more.”

In a wide-ranging chat with 3AW Football’s Shane McInnes, Lobb opened up on his footy journey so far, his growing passion for golf and engagement to partner Lexi in the off-season.
