AFL FANTASY TAKE
Lobb averaged 56.8pts from 17 games in 2020, he scored a season high 92pts in Round 1 against Essendon.
The medium to long term injury opens up an opportunity for a tall in the Fremantle team, Josh Treacy will be on the radar along with Lloyd Meek as a ruck option.
Sean Darcy is currently questionable for Round 1 with a knee injury, Meek looks like a potential starter in Round 1 following a decent AAMI Community Series game on Sunday.
