Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Do you actually believe a player can hold the team to ransom. I call BS on this.
But, even though English isn’t a great tap ruckman, he Is invaluable around the ground and the proto type of the modern ruckman.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
I absolutely 100% believe Tim English signed conditionally upon being selected as the number one ruck when available to be selected. Players move clubs to play the positions they want to play, so there's every expectation from me that they'd re-sign at clubs on the basis of being played in a particular position.
There's also the quotes from McDougal and Bevo at similar times that suggest it's so.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
I tend to think this is somewhat accurate. With English missing a fair bit of footy this season along with Martin we have essentially moved away from Dunkley in ruck contests after reports it was one of the consideration in him looking to go to Essendon.Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Beveridge commments were in the after match press conference in round three after we defeated Sydney and English dominated.
Below is comments by Colin Young
Audio around the 13 min mark.
The 24-year-old, a West Australian native who was drafted out of South Fremantle in 2016, is focused on getting more ruck minutes in the upcoming season.
“I know he (McDougall) caught up with him earlier in the week and Tim was at this stage talking about how excited he was about the season, I think he was going to get more of a ruck roll from what we’ve heard, and he really wants to win that premiership,” Young told SEN’s Dwayne’s World.
“I think that’s the main thing on the agenda right now, but you’re not Blind Freddy, Nic Nat (Nic Naitanui) is coming to an end at West Coast, there were a couple of Melbourne clubs that reached out last year as Tim was unhappy.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Thanks Aza, but nothing to suggest he held the club to ransom, and wouldn't sign a contract if he doesn't ruck x amount of time.Beveridge commments were in the after match press conference in round three after we defeated Sydney and English dominated.

Thank you Az, I think this article was posted here previously, and the quote from McDougal and that article is what I was referring to.Beveridge commments were in the after match press conference in round three after we defeated Sydney and English dominated.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Holding the club to ransom and signing conditionally are two different ways of saying the same thing BAD.
And while I'm sure he didn't say he wants a particular amount of minutes or game time in the role, and even surer it's not written into his contract I have little doubt it's what he wanted in a handshake deal to sign on.
Tim has the capacity to be the best ruck forward in the league, and it's the hardest position to fill on a list. I may have used more emotive language when articulating that versus what I think his want is to play first ruck, but I'm steadfast in my view that we're stuck with him as our first ruck and that our flexibility with our current cattle is limited by that.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment
