Martin wasnt a lumberer though he was athletic until the end.
My point was that if english goes only an athletic ruck type would trust bevo enough to go there (unless he is sacked).
Recommitted Tim English [signs 5 year deal]

Has certainly hurt his asking value but as one of the only free agents left he could still garner big coin from somebody throwing money away
Tom Morris’ trade and free agency update on Duggan, Barrass, Perryman, Battle and more
The newsbreaker had the latest on some names who could be on the move this off-season.

“Rivals believe this deal at West Coast is six years and not as lucrative financially as it once was.
“The Dogs have five on the table. That's where it's at and I don't think the Dogs are going to shift too much given Luke Beverage's views on ruckmen.
“He can leave if he wants and I think that looks more likely now than staying.”
Lol Bevo's views on ruckmen are not alone among coaches. The ruck role has changed and English is Bevo's ideal of ruck.Tom Morris’ trade and free agency update on Duggan, Barrass, Perryman, Battle and more

Thats Tom Morris's words not mine fwiw
I don't want him but sounds like I might have to get used to the idea

Because Williams is garbage. English won’t cost any draft picks and is a big upgrade on what they have.
I guess because it's a free hit and an upgrade on those 2.
English can actually get the ball, whereas Williams and Flynn are low-possession types.
His concussion issues are worrying, considering Venables and Sheppard's recent woes + Duggan this year.

If the WCE are willing to actually pony up the pick needed for English, by all means, have him, If it's something in the top 10 I'll personally walk him to Melbourne airport.
Has played one good year with the Dogs, and even then it was questionable.
I'd take a medicore ruck on half his money / years and a better pick to the draft/to be traded vs what he wants.

Even better. AFL bullshit matrix will spit out a nice pick for him.
I would hope we would match to get a decent haul if the difference is only 5 years v 6 years.
If you match, WCE won't be trading for him.
Luckily for you, Bevo hates ruckmen.

He is Bevo's wet dream fantasy of a ruckman. Would be shocked if he leaves.
That's fine, happy for him to stay.
WCE won't be trading any picks for an RFA that's nearing 30 though.
We won't be trading away picks or offering sweeteners to get a deal done for English in our list position. If someone here was actually stupid enough to do that they would probably be facing a lynching.
The only spanner in the works could be any Barrass deal.

Currently pick 10. Which can get pushed out with F&S and acadmey picks.
He turns 27 in a few weeks.
Yes but highly unlikely to be a part of our next flag.
Would be good to have a decent ruckman to support the mids though.
