Interesting. My feeling during the game was that English competed really well and the ruck was almost a nil all draw which enabled our midfielders to dominate.

Definitely noy how I saw it at the game.
Thought Tim competed really well and used his wheels to make Grundy work often.

Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?

Grundy had his moments in the ruck and overall won that battle (though some of that may have been against Darcy to be fair) but English had more impact around the ground/aerially. I think enough to call it close to a draw which I'm happy with against Grundy

Credit to Tim.
He has been monstered by Grundy a few times in the past, but had a good game this week
Got on his bike and really made Brodie work hard to chase.

Both he and Darcy were pushed around a little by Grundy but to their credit worked him hard and ran forward to exploit him. Both missed gettable shots. English?s one was easier then he failed to compete from the kick out and it cost us a goal.

That sequence was genuinely the most disappointing part of the game yesterday, including some of the baffling umpiring. Tim was way too casual with the set shot, and that seemed to get into his head as he got to the kick-out landing and was totally ragdolled.

Strachan is TERRIBLE I?d be really annoyed if we picked him up to be our first ruck.

He is worse than terrible.

Grundy was better in the ruck duels with 43 Hitouts, but only 7 HTA - got to do better than that. Tim wasn't that much better with 23 HO, and 4 HTA (only 3 different to Grundy.)

Around the ground, Tim was very good picking up 7 marks. Should have nailed the goal.

Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?

Is there another Lloyd Meek out there and if so would Bevo play him, or does it need to be a Tim type ruck? We had Sweet and didn't play him. If Bevo will only play a Tim type ruck then we pay more than we would like in $$$ but not years.

I reckon Brian Strauchan would almost be better.

If we can somehow go all the way this season, the entire Tim English discussion (and Bailey Smith for that matter) changes completely. We are a live chance in 2024 so I just want the club to do everything possible to focus on every remaining minute and contest that plays out for the rest of this season.

What about Gordon Strachan?

What about Gordon Strachan?

Very clever right sided midfielder - could easily become the 34th wingman on our list

A bit more mongrel in him than big Timmy (and most rucks) as well, albeit vertically challenged.

Yes his name is Sam Darcy. If English leaves why are looking for another one to fit into an already top heavy side? Another ruck should be only be there for insurance, I’ll even take Tom Campbell back.

Richards the only ginger we need.
