I don’t see it. His set shots are very hit or miss too. JUH like.

Hard disagree, he's a very reliable set shot.

First 6 weeks of 2021 English forward/2nd ruck was effective with Stef Martin as our no 1 ruck. We haven't really seen it since.

Yep - English is far better as the no 2 ruck.
As a no 1 ruck he's great for a few weeks then has a poor week that costs us the game. That was the case against the hawks - Meek killed him.

I would be interested to know the level competition at Hawks with Meeks Vs Reeves and the internal KPIs . I don't know much about their strengths or weakness, but Meek overpowered English on Friday. What annoyed me most was the 2nd quarter, where Meek took a grab in their forward line. English was nowhere in the frame.

Their coach must rate Rucks differently to Bevo.

I still reckon there is a place for bash and crash ruckman with Good hands to mark,

Mid, Intercept defender, half back, ruck, tall forward, winger, mid forward.

[Stevo]

Just listening to Kane who gave Marra a fair whack for his lack of effort and focus.
I know he's young but it's a frustrating thing watching him missing marks and then later hugging players.

I agree none of our players deserved votes. That’s a real indictment- not 1 vote to us.

And they had players on every line getting in the best.
