Noah Answerth is now the preferred back pocket lockdown defender at the Brisbane Lions, after the departure in the off season of Brandon Starcevich. He kept Nick Watson goalless last week, no mean feat this season, and that is the calibre of opponent he faces every week. That role can be highly dependent on events upfield, as pressure on delivery inside 50 is a big determinant of whether he can get in position to prevent crumbing scores. His position in the team is not predicated on rebound statistics, which means he's not much of a fantasy player.
