Trade Rumours 2024

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Duggan is a FA but co-captain. He'd be outstanding for us, Jets boy.
I think we could draft & develop a HB though, they do tend to come on pretty quickly. Bramble gives us a stop-gap if JJ declines next year. It seems it's an easier position to fill nowadays than even a lockdown defender.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I like Noble if he's young enough. Surprised he was left out of their GF side, would add some run and carry to us.

28 in two months, so if we're thinking we're good for a charge then if he's depth at worst it's an improvement.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Duggan has unfortunately been red pilled by that dogshit “footy club” we played today into thinking whatever it is they do is worthwhile. I’m not trading for anyone from West Coasf for at least ten years.

Well that game should put to rest any talk of English going to West Coast.

Because West Coast are bad? I would have thought it would raise their interest in English

I think it would suggest that their Bailey Williams is already a better pure ruckman than English and has potential to be good forward and around the ground also.

Thought Tim won the ruck duel quite convincingly and add in the goals and contested marking both around the ground and in the F50 and I'm seeing WC increasing their interest.

I’m talking about English interest in them. They are horrible and it will take a few years to be of any premiership contender.
Why would he go there compared to who he is with at the moment.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

English destroyed Williams, as has every other ruckman that West Coast has played this year. I don’t know how you could look at it any other way.

If you thought Tim won the ruck duel at all you were watching a different game to me.

Granted Tim was influential with his work around the ground and forward, but as a ruckman I rated it a best/worst game from Tim.
Soundly beaten at the ruck contest which also translated to clearance loss.

Is that because the opposition roved to him and not their own ruckman?
Or their ruckman actually got the tap ?
What do we actually call a beaten ruckman ? If we go by all around the ground English smashed the opposition but if you go on just taps it’s questionable .
In my eyes English beat the opposition ruck over the whole day though.
Going by stats the West Coast ruck got one more tap than English 25-24

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Williams shaded English with some efforts in the ruck but overall our ruck team won. English had his moments in the ruck and was clearly better around the ground both in the air and at ground level.

English attended 49 ruck contests, and Williams attended 61. English 16 centre bounces, Williams 22.

I don't know if there's somewhere to find out head to head stats, but I would imagine Williams got a few of those hitouts against Darcy.

English was a dominant force. Williams is not a bad ruckman, and had a few wins - but over the course of the day he had no meaningful impact on the game.

Let’s face it no West Coast player had a meaningful impact in the game , they only kicked 3 goals.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Tim won 50% of the ruck contests he entered, Williams won 40%.
