    Would we be that surprised if he chose to leave?

    I think English is well settled with us and I'm not overly concerned that another club might pinch him. We are shopping around so I suspect it's full on.

    They will need to pay overs to get him so lets see if an actual offer is on the table because it would need to be a good one

    Love how a reporter covers his arse by saying “I think” in other words he has made up a story to be relevant.

    Nothing story. We'd love Harris Andrews, or Ben Brown, or Jeremy Cameron, or Connor Rozze. They'd love English. So what Morris?

    Imagine how good English is going to be once he learns to use his third arm to full advantage!

    HOW TIM ENGLISH NEARLY LANDED AT COLLINGWOOD

    Former Collingwood recruiter Matt Rendell says Bulldogs ruckman Tim English would have been a Magpie, were it not for a misunderstanding.

    A towering talent from the West Australian wheat belt, English was drafted to Whitten Oval with a first round selection five years ago.

    He could have pulled on the black and white 12 months earlier, however.

    “If you’re a Collingwood supporter, you’ll want to turn off for about two minutes,” Rendell told SEN’s Dwayne’s World on Thursday afternoon.

    “Tim English went to a Catholic school in Perth, and one of our part-time recruiters was a teacher there.

    “He said, ‘Can you come and have a look at this bloke? He’s got some talent, he’s a big skinny kid, (but) I don’t know if he’s competitive enough. Come and have a look, and see what you think’.

    “I go over and watch him and I thought, ‘He’s got some serious talent, (and) you’re right, he’s not quite competitive enough.’”

    Rendell was nevertheless sold on the 18-year-old, but a hurdle loomed with the season coming to a close.

    English was yet to play a state league game, ruling him ineligible for draft selection under present rules.

    “I said, ‘Okay, here’s what we’re going to do. There’s one game to go in the WAFL, what’s his home team?’” Rendell recalled.

    “He lived in Claremont. Claremont weren’t in the finals, they had one game to go.

    “I said, ‘Take him down on Thursday once all the paperwork’s in, we’ll qualify him and he can play the game’.

    “‘I’ll come over and watch. Hopefully he doesn’t go too good, and we’ll take him as a rookie in the draft’.”

    The twist came too late, with Rendell’s scout in Perth informing him on the Thursday that the paperwork had been knocked back.

    Before boarding at Christ Church Grammar School in Perth, English lived on a farm with his family in the South Fremantle catchment, and had not lived in Claremont for the three years required to switch his allegiance.

    “So Claremont can’t play him. South Freo weren’t in the finals but they’ve finished training, (and) it’s a Thursday, so he doesn’t play on the weekend,” Rendell added.

    “(So) I can’t pick him. The next year he plays at South Fremantle, kills it and gets picked what, (19) in the draft. I go, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’.

    “Poor Collingwood supporters, they missed out on Tim English because of that.”

    English has kicked eight goals in four games for the Bulldogs this season, his game rejuvenated with veteran recruit Stefan Martin shouldering the majority of the ruck contests.

    Better yarn if it was some u/18’s coach over there using their connections with the league to stop it.

    The guy is up himself. As Collingwood supporters say, Rendell constantly banging on about how they should have listened to him.

    (Ps Article was fine, just on the radio/TV can't stand him)

    I must admit On the match Committee with Sam Hargreaves and Matt Rendell, Randell gives the appearance that he's being held there at gun point. Doesn't look that interested.

    I think that's just his personality, bit of a cynic type, sounds a bit of a miser like Ross Lyon.
    I don't mind listening to him because he's a bit different and doesn't really hold back. You know eventually he is going to
    say something that others wouldn't say and is of interest.
