Lobb is going surprisingly well in defence. Keeping him for the next two years on his affordable contract is looking like a good idea.
JUH is just elite at that HHF role. Speed, smarts, marking, ground balls…. Like it’s a role made for him. He can then beat his opponent back to goal when required. He is still not at his peak endurance and with Darcy & Naughton deeper, JUH isn’t needed to be that long target from a slow build up.

Interestingly there were 16 players rated ahead of him by Champion Data/SuperCoach last night, while last week he was bewilderingly rated our best and third best on ground overall.
I’m certain 99% of people would agree his game last night was miles ahead of last week. Goes to show how little water the stats argument holds for English
In next two/four weeks we get back: Trelor, Naughton, JOD, Jones and Harmes - then maybe JJ. Keath is back.
What is our best 22 looking like now with these players back?
FB: JJ Jones Lobb
HB: Khamis JOD Dale
C: Williams Trelor Gallagher
R: English Bont Libba
HF: Harmes Naughton West
FF: Weightman Darcy JUH
Int: Red, Macrae, Friejah, Sanders
Sub: Garcia (I am confused he is not playing) Bramble, Duryea, VDM, Coffield
And likely to want to expose Buss.

Gallagher seriously? Richards to wing, Bramble to replace JJ, Garcia to interchange, Duryea as sub

The raw hit outs stats weren't too bad for English yesterday, but worth pointing out that the hit outs to advantage stat was 17-3 in favour of Carlton with 12 for Pittonet and 5 for TDK. English averages 8.6 hits to advantage per game this year, so only 3 was a pretty poor showing for him in that respect. Hits to advantage are a highly weighted stat by Champion Data, is my understanding.

I might be one out here , but if anyone watches the replay again , you will see English’s ruck work was very very ordinary, so not surprised by those stats.
Nothing new, most other things he does are pretty good.
Fantastic win though , the whole 22 should be proud of that performance.

Yeah have split up a while back now, not sure what effect that has on him but I remember seeing it on twitter about a month or so ago.

If there is a club that can identify specific roles for specific players Collingwood is one of them along with recruiting for specific needs
Honestly I love CD but that might be the best for him. He’d do well at the Pies.

Collingwood have a very fast paced game plan but if Sidebottom retires, CD could probably slot into that role.
I’m not sure I want to make another contender stronger but I imagine we’ll do the right thing by him wherever he requests a trade to free up salary cap space.

The first half of the quote sounds like its opinion… then the second half as fact.
Reads weird.
Just seen this on the West Coast Board let’s hope it’s true
Apparently Garcia has re-signed with the Dogs. Disappointing we couldn’t convince him or Buss to come home.

Has Nathan Brown ever had any inside knowledge on trade moves? I can't recall any. Thought he'd be too busy encouraging people to gamble...
Or it goes to show how bad fans are at assessing performance of individuals when emotion and confirmation bias are massively clouding our judgement from week to week.
When we win all our players are stars and when we lose they're all absolute spuds
You just responded to the link of the post that I saw on the West Coast board
