Peope are not seriously suggesting that Moyle is outplaying English?
It looks ugly physically but what impact is Moyle actually having? None of his physical work has lead to clean clearance breaks for the Suns and he's going to tire himself out physically.
English has more total effective touches (6 to 5), 150 to 60 metres gained and clearances are 21-20 for us total.

Pretty hard to regularly on the back foot and not hitting up at the ball or working forward. Darcy has been showing them how to do it
On SM-S926B using BigFooty.com mobile app
Can someone also teach Derm, Dwayne and Johnno what the holding the ball rule is? I don’t agree with a lot of the prior opportunity interpretations, but at least I still know them.
It’s nuffie central at Fox Footy.

Strange one isn’t it.
I know when English has a good game he looks like a unique player, and the stats look great. But I just can't imagine a list manager or head coach looking at the tape and thinking they'll be fine with giving up significant draft capital and paying him a million bucks a year.
I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing for the dogs. Does it mean the market might not be quite as strong and we get away with paying him unders? Or does it mean we end up putting eight years of development into him and he leaves for a late first or something similar? I am pretty fed up watching him getting pushed around by rookies though.
Good second quarter, now to extend the lead in the third and hopefully have an insurmountable lead for the fourth. I'm not sure how to quantify that for this team (40-50 points? More?) but fingers crossed.

Libba doing a job on Rowell and getting a good amount of footy himself.
With Coffield out we’ll need to bring someone in no matter what. Preferably JOD but if he’s not right then Keath I guess.

5 English tackles to 0 from Moyle too
Moyle is having zero impact on this game, I hope he gets another 11 touches at 45% this half

So our million dollar ruckman is slightly above breaking even with a back up on probably 300k, brilliant
I don’t think English has been too bad today but it’s clear he will never grow any sort of physicality to his game, so he really needs to dominate the other aspects of his game

Moyle literally kicked out on the full that led directly to a set shot goal from one of them. English isn't obviously outplaying Moyle, but he's presumably putting up enough of a fight in allowing himself physically to ensure Moyle isn't clean/clear.
English has 6 tackles in a half, too with 15 pressure acts. Moyle has literally just the 1 pressure act.
In essence: it looks ugly that Moyle is physically bossing English. It's probably having zero and if anything negative impact on English and Moyle's overall (and read - overall) impact on the game.

Early in that quarter Marra had his opponent burnt, West running directly at him on the boundary and Marra turns around to double back to the goal square and wests kick goes out in front and is chopped off.
Really ****ing pissed me off, amateur stuff and Marra is obviously usually great at this stuff so it just begs to reason - is this by design or what?

But this game proves physicality is overrated. It looks ugly but it's actual relevancy to team success is surely far less than suggested by many on hereSo our million dollar ruckman is slightly above breaking even with a back up on probably 300k, brilliant

With Coffield going down we are so fortunate he decided to stick with us
