If Armstrong didn't get traded I would have picked him I am just not sure about his role at Sydney

What about Phil Davis. He doesn't seem to be a popular option, there will be tons of pill down back for GWS. Is there a reason why not many have mentioned him??.

My 5th defender is Dyson Heppell but for your price you could look at Dempsey, Yarran, Waters and Grimes all good options

He is a big key defender not a Dream Team player

Yeah because initially it was thought he would be rookie priced but he is expensive for his past and has shown he has injury problems

Zac Dawson at freo could also be interesting?

Id go waters. Top player can get the decent size tons too. I wouldnt say never ever but grimes is a DT bad seed a lot more of a risk i think.

The new Bulldog coach is a pretty tough nut, if he didn't think Lake had another solid year left in him, I think he would have sent him packing.  I'm sticking with him.  Also impressed by Yarran's year.  No-one seems to mention him much, maybe not enough upside.

Grimes is prolly the best option there if he can stay on the flowering paddock
