Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English
For mine stat 2 and stat 3 are the most important.
Next aim should be #1 ruck for contested marks and #1 ruck for HTA.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English
He could do all that stuff already though. The HTA numbers and percentages are where the real improvement has come.
Still trying to figure out why in the hell he was spelled for so long in the 4th last week.

He was probably tired and may not have had a good chance to get back on the ground at the right time.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English
At this point it's just about boosting his number of hit outs and staying healthy, while his total number of hitouts are low for an elite ruck he generally gets more taps to advantage than his opponents. He looked AA bound last year before he injured himself and he has only improved from there.

Of course, but without checking the numbers he was off for what felt like an eternity.
It’s honestly probably more on Lobb for not firing a shot but the game was on the line and a lever should’ve been pulled.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English
Congratulations indeed. Great selection as a first rounder, and when you look at it we did extremely well to land him when we did.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English
Was actually surprised he has only played 100. Feel like he's been around a long time.
100-200 could be pretty special.

A lot of ruckmen share duties or are bit players for the first 60-80 games.
Tim's best footy is definitely ahead of him

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English
Just read that Tim English is a free agent after the 2024 season, and that West Coast are planning on throwing every kitchen sink on the planet at him (rumours of up to 7 year $10 million contract).
Are we any chance to keep him? Do we start collecting 20c coins now?

If they provide draft capital to match it could also be a huge opportunity
