Best Defender? and a possible unique pick.

I like cameron Bruce, and th efact that his averages have been high and consistent.. That being said, a new club and another year older makes me a little weary of taking on the gun. Im sure i'm not the only one that would avoid him, by being cautious.. but I'd imagine he wouldnt dissapoint.

but then again, its Grimes isn't exactly a perfect picture of health and I'd put his risk up there with Bruce, So I actually will consider him. Hopefully he will play Luke Hodges old role across the half back line.

i have the same issue duffield vs connors for me at this stage and its connors just

Conners is to risky for me.. Had one good season. If he backs it up again this year then I would consider him in 2012.

Duffield let me down last year.

Broughton is better as long as he is fit.

rawlings is unique but who knows if he could repeat last year. otherwise duffield is solid option

Grimes if he can stay fit

Bruce looks to be a good option too

i cannot stand duffman after last season, he left me tearing my hair out, wondering when eh is gonna score.. some games he'll sit on a score of 7 until half time.. and then finish on 70 odd. A big headache i do not want again..

ATM its a tossup, Grimes or Bruce.. I have a soft spot for grimes - i dont know whether i'll use it as an excuse to pick him or omit him :P

perhaps Johnson of Freeo or Waters from the Eagles.

That was the coaches fault, played him deep in defense then opened him up into the midfield where he absolutely slaughtered the competition. If he played an entire game in the mids he would be right up there with the best...but unfortunately they like him taking the kick ins, such a waste!

Yeah, It was very painful to watch, I don't mind him kicking to himself, but, when he doesn't, you are left to sit there wondering if he'll be in the next play at all!
