English posted 103 in Western Bulldogs' two-point thriller over Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval — an elite RUC score earned in a genuine pressure contest, not garbage time. Then took a knock to the head and is confirmed out for Round 10 with concussion. The concussion is the only issue here — he was performing at expectation (103 avg, 103 score) in an arm-wrestle. Hold through the concussion protocol; don't trade out a premium ruckman after a 103 performance. The bye window is your opportunity to recover the donut.
