Adding Devin Payne and Daniel Tanczos will straight up make them a better side. Ernie Raines and Cam Clark heading back, Cooper McKenzie fresh out of juniors as well as Izzy Fielding and Mitch Hahn there should be a bit of youth and leg speed around the ground.
Tyler Grainger-Balding going back to Gepps hurts their ruck stocks, but with the exception of Luke Smith, Ben Smart and a lesser extent Todd Sampson (only because his commitment levels), they really haven't lost anyone of note.
They may not win the flag, but i wouldn't be underestimating them.
Might open the door for former HV ruckman Jack Conley to get an A Grade berth.
Was never getting an A grade spot over Machok, but was a neat tap ruckman in the reserves for us last year, where he ended up winning the B&F.
Unless they are paying to fly him back and forth I don't think you will see Jack in a Bulldogs jumper
