He won't get hard a tag in defence this year unless he does something silly like changes his name to Birchall. There are to many good bulldogs to tag before he becomes a consideration and Boyd would be the main mobile defender if any who attracts attention. He's a safe pick IMO but it's highly unlikely he'll keep averaging what he is all year but good for 90+ I reckon.
How on earth that spud was a top ten defender last year (or thereabout) is beyond me tbh.

Yeah? and what was the deal with Bastinac? I thought he looked promising a few years back as a rookie.
You might be waiting a while.
I was basing my opinion mainly on his goofy looks. The stats speak for themselves
but I still can't belive he gets those stats. He was a spud when he played for freo.
Jetta has pace and he's a shithouse midfielder.
Think my trades are locked in for this week.
Barlow > Papley
Rockcliff > Robbie Gray
$362,700 in the kitty to start using for upgrades in the next few weeks.
Next week I am considering going Boyd > JJ and S.Gray > Dustin Martin if Boyd and Sam Gray spud up again.
Thoughts?

Yeah I'm not sure I want to get rid of Crouch just yet either. But I also don't want to have that much cash sitting out of play for too longDo it.
We can only make decisions based on what's in front of us. The cash cows are performing well and there's nothing to suggest they won't keep it up.
Don't think you should get rid of BCrouch so soon. He's building fitness and confidence. We'll get to that next week though
He's the reason for Barlow's demise into SC irrelevancy.
If he used the ball well it would make a huge difference and he's got the ability to generate so much run from half-back and get forward and hit the scoreboard but unfortunately his form is woeful so far this season.
