As our third forward target in 2023 with a bit of ruck relief he missed a few games due to form but still kicked 24 goals at 85% TOG. His disposals were down 0.8 a game, marks 1.2 a game, goals 0.5 a game on average. Probably something you'd see if someone went from second/ first banana to third.
Everyone would admit he disappointed, but I reckon by how much he did should be up for debate. Adapting to a new system and having his role changed from the year prior drastically might have had a justifiable impact on his output.
Agree with this.
It was overblown how "bad" he was. I had hoped for a little more, but again, we probably underestimate how much of an impact that injury had. I thought he had a better second half of the year and clearly finished strong.
I like his ruck work so I hope we see him in there more.

Agree. I think he feels more comfortable and seems popular with the team now. I think his ruck work is quite clever, in fact to my eye he hits to advantage more than Tim. Plus his long bomb goals are a highlight for me.

Cobb might end up playing quite a bit of time as our ruck, if English has to be managed, or can't get through the season.
