Tim English - What Price do you pay?

[ledge]

I am very happy with English, his actual ruck work might not be in the top 5-10 but his around the ground game is exceptional, not often you see a bloke his size run and bounce as often as he does , his tank is great , you will see him kick goals and drop back and take marks in defence.
I’m a fan of Lobb doing the centre bounce, he has more body work in him.
English is more a roaming ruck standing one kick away from play to intercept or kick a goal.

I want to keep him on a fair price. But $1M for set shot misses like tonight and getting out marked by Aish and man handled ain’t a $1M man.

We can’t tank the old fashioned way. The only way we get a top 10 pick this year is FA compo for Tim. Currently Pick 9.

I think it’s a genuine question now. Do we delay talks because another million dollar salary or a top 10 pick is worthy of debate.

Bank the cash and take the pick.

Is it basically Croft costing us whatever this year's pick is?

So could be a top 10....

More so the Pick 13 and currently Pick 8 for Sanders.

The pick 23 is effectively Croft, Freijah & 50 this year.

If he wants 1m let him go.

My order of signings was always JUH, English then Smith.

I think Smith is more important now.

Ive honestly had enough of Enlgish. He only wants to do so much. He's a great talent but he's holding himself back for some reason. We need to get rid of all these types so we can become a competitive machine again ala 2016

What rubbish. Not sure a player who had 23 disposals, 7 marks, 6 tackles is a problem? Yes he should have nailed two more goals, but so should others like Bont 5 metres out.

I don't get the hatred for this player and the angst about what the club will pay him.

What's not to get? He's not worth what he reportedly wants.

I'm with you I thought he was pretty good tonight, but for a million dollars ruckman I want all of what Tim does well plus a really really good ruckman too.

I don't think anyone hates him. People hate, including me, the price we're going to pay to keep him. Moneyball the ruck, let him walk and take the compensation/trade.

I actually don't get why people worry about a players salary, I certainly don't care. What I care about is whether he is good enough to play the role.

English is worth what the market wants to pay him. The market dictates a players worth.

I thought he was ok tonight. That Aish mark though...cant unsee that.

If there was no salary cap, sure. Lose Marra or Darcy down the track to a monster offer and that extra million bucks to Tim looks a little different than just another salary.

that's where a smart List manager comes in
