WESTERN BULLDOGS
The ruck and key-position roles at the Bulldogs this year will be fascinating to follow. With Travis Cloke arriving from Collingwood and Stewart Crameri returning from suspension, does it mean Tom Boyd ($290,300, RUC/FWD) will spend more time as a permanent ruckman? He impressed as a ruck-forward towards the back-half of 2016, none more so than in his famous grand final performance that included three goals and 14 hit-outs. If that happens — and top draft pick Tim English comes on quickly as a young ruckman — where does that leave Jordan Roughead ($380,300, RUC)? Also, will Luke Beveridge be forced to push the likes of Josh Dunkley, Toby McLean, Clay Smith and, even, Jake Stringer into the middle more often to make room for Cloke and Crameri? So many unanswered yet exciting questions the footy community can’t wait to find out the answers to.
