Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English

[jeemak]

Hang on... you've been telling me for years you are perfect...

That's my one imperfection.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

bad analogy - I don't get it. If he is good at cont poss then he is contesting.

He is also the number one for disposals by all ruckman - so he gets alot of the ball around the ground.

I didn't realise contested possessions were awarded in ruck contests.

[Grantysghost]

That's my one imperfection.

I thought I was wrong once, however I was mistaken.

[EasternWest]

That's my one imperfection.

That, and you can't spell "defensive".

[bornadog]

That, and you can't spell "defensive".

He is American

[EasternWest]

No he said "prefect". When you line that up with his private school history it all just makes sense.

He is American

Off with his head.

Off with his head.

This made me laugh.

Is there anything this guy is actually good at? Not good below his knees, not that great in the ruck, only really has good disposal with lots of time and space but under any pressure isn't really any good, can get disposals as long as his opponent doesn't put any effort into preventing him from doing so. Can we still get pick one for him?

Nah pay him $7M to keep him…

[macca]

His good at demanding to be number 1 ruck but is putrid against any Ruckman that provides a contests . Today he was beaten by williams , the first 2 goals pretty much summed it up
His agility allows him to run to marking contests as an outlet out of defense as one of his valuable points . This could be may be covered if some of the talks stand up and take this role .
I be inclined to trade him and get first round Compo draft pick

Apparently hit outs to advantage.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Said it for years. This guy is a midfielder trapped in a rucks body. No amount of stats will convince me otherwise.

I couldn't trade him quick enough. Brings nothing you actually need from a ruck - his game is luxury - nobody NEEDS a ruck to get 20+ disposals. You need a ruck to be a physical presence, English is the opposite.

[angelopetraglia]

Yes. I have seen enough. I would trade Tim English. He is never going to become Max Gawn. He does not have the killer instinct. Big men need a bit of mongrel. He is too nice.

[merantau]

I think he is very over rated. He is easily pushed aside, rarely gets in the prime position at boundary throw ins, doesn't take enough marks, hits the ball to the opposition too often and provides no protection for smaller players. We get 2 good performances every 6 games from him. My patience is running micron thin. Sorry Tim.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

We need to make a big play for Draper. He is the man for the job. Maybe even trade for a bloke called Sweet that can’t get a game.
