Good to see The Count given us some recognition. But FWIW I wouldn't have Bolton at no.1. He has undoubted ability but I have concerns about him being a dependable player, particularly in the big games. That's his next step, to look as good in a final as he does in round 5 v Norf

I'd definitely have ahead of Darcy.

An elite ruckman, great at tap work and around the ground

Yeah I rate English too. Can ruck well and is excellent around the ground.

I’d have TT a couple places higher certainly above daicos and ahead of Simpkin too.

One player not there that imo should comfortably be there is luke Ryan from freo. Taken at 66 and has won a b&f and been all Australian.

Personally I don't rate English and neither does Bevo and the Dogs fans. Nowhere near enough mongrel in him and often beaten by more physical rucks. Not saying he's ordinary, just think Darcy is better - certainly better value from P38 than English at P19.

Agreed on your last point 100%
