Fremantle forward Rory Lobb has told the Dockers at his exit meeting that he wants to be traded to the Western Bulldogs.
The 29-year-old has one year remaining on his contract and the Dockers are arguing that he is a required player.
Lobb asked to be traded back to the Giants – where he started his career – during last year’s trade period but the deal never got off the ground.
He is one of several Dockers – including Blake Acres, Lloyd Meek, Griffin Logue and Darcy Tucker – who are looking at joining new clubs with Acres set to join Carlton, and Logue and Tucker attracting interest from North Melbourne.
