Naughton is the obvious choice as a key defender with probably Trengrove. We did look very vulnerable against Collingwood with only Cordy and Keath who appeals more as a third defender than a key back man. English is now in his third season and with the movement elsewhere of players such as Campbell and Roughead, was too inexperienced to take on the likes of Grundy and Goldstein. By comparison John Schultz was playing State football in his first season, Scott Wynd was similar, which only goes to show that you either have the necessary ruck skills required at a young age or like many others it takes a lot longer. English is in the latter category. He does however possess outstanding skills at ground level and there isn't any reason why he couldn't play forward with an occasional run on the ball.
