English needs to be trusted to be the no1 as of next season.
Ive been his biggest fan and defender, but did you see some of his efforts sat night?

What exactly is English better at? According to supporters he is a what? A third forward who pinches in ruck? As a forward Lobb is better and id argue he is as a ruckman as well
Yeah he does seem far too nice, but maybe he needs the pressure ?
Agree, but the rumour is he does want to go home. We’d be trading at a low. I don’t see any kind of win for the Dogs in that scenario.Unless he is desperate to go home, makes no sense for The Dogs to trade him at this stage. They have invested a lot into him and wouldn't get adequate compensation for his services at this stage (I would have thought)
Not a single good source has indicated he's wanting to head home.Agree, but the rumour is he does want to go home. We’d be trading at a low. I don’t see any kind of win for the Dogs in that scenario.

I don’t rate Brander at all so you’re asking the wrong person.Would Brander and an 2nd Rounder from the Eagles work for the Dogs ? I think he is worth a first round pick from the Eagles but I doubt they would give that up.
Any intel?Interesting times ahead for the Dogs in regards to English.
It wouldn’t be out of choice.Seems to be a knee jerk thread, he's only 24 which is very young for a ruck.
Has obvious deficiences but the Doggies have put in the hard yards developing him, why get rid of him?
I just don’t think you can teach killer instinct to someone who’s now 25. If a high ball came into richmonds defensive 50, what would Nank do? He’d smash the pack and try and spoil the ball to the boundary, would he not?
Yeah .. you can keep himThe Doggies should/will keep him but I'd do Lobb + a late second for English and a 3rd. We would only move Lobb if we got equivalent of a pick between 20-25.
So roughly pick 21 + pick 33 for English + pick 48.
Values English at that mid first rounder value.

No thanks, you can keep Lobb.The Doggies should/will keep him but I'd do Lobb + a late second for English and a 3rd. We would only move Lobb if we got equivalent of a pick between 20-25.

Nah.Any intel?
I’d be keen to understand where English sees himself playing. If he wants to be a number 1 ruck he’s going to have put some serious work in. If he sees himself as a fwd/ruck then he’s at a club that I think will give him every opportunity and will try and get him support. I’m convinced we’ll bring in a ready to go number 1 ruck, nothing exciting but a solid citizen.Nah.
Just at an interesting juncture in his career.
Ruck/Fwd
Fwd/Ruck
Or
Somewhere else
As an outsider looking in, English seems to have the misfortune of having grown to ruckman height but not having many traits that come with it.
He seems to look most comfortable forward and leading at the ball. He's still young I reckon has a fair career in front of him, so if the Dogs were looking to part with him for draft equity I think they'd get considerable interest.
I wonder if West Coast would include Darling in an offer. Adding Darling to Naughton and Bruce would be pretty deadly I would have thought, and gives WCE someone to plonk in the forward lines for years to come.
Those types are hard too find.I’d be keen to understand where English sees himself playing. If he wants to be a number 1 ruck he’s going to have put some serious work in.

Yep I see no upside to trading English now.Those types are hard too find.
Landhams is available but he's on good coin apparently.
And your getting Darcy so you'll need points.

Well I doubt they will, but he isn’t really developing all that much. Sure he is young and I don’t think anyone expects him to be dominating already but he is legitimately non competitive in the ruck far too often.Seems to be a knee jerk thread, he's only 24 which is very young for a ruck.
