Think everyone is forgetting Essendon is one of the tougher ruck matchups in the comp. English’s first quarter effort is making Grundy’s 99 against the bombers in rd 2 look pretty darn good currently.

Edit: Marshall only scored 79 against them for reference
Yeah the Goldy and Draper combo is one of the tougher ruck matchups at the moment.

I don't think he's 100% right. He was awful last week too.
Read the following conspiracy theory concerning English March 18 this year: "
It's official. It's a rumour.

Gone. They're cuddling him because concussions. Then they cop the pick.

It was interesting to watch his work up forward in R1. It's phoney season but yeah, something aint right.

This is the first case of a concussion impaired player coming onto the market. There are ramifications all over the joint.

Like all good rumours this one has a basis in logic.


BTW English's 2023 heatmaps (looking for cheapies in the back pocket like some kind of Lachie Neale) was concussion avoidance related. He was still getting SI. But smart play by the coach to minimise his exposure."
