Options 2 and 5 are the only ones I'd be seriously considering. I don't like the options of storing too much cash in the bank (gotta get those points on the field), and I can't see Hogan ending up a Top 10 FWD.
Gun to my head, I'd go Option 2. I think Grundy is more of a priority than Simpson. However, the only concern would be only having 2 DEF premiums remaining (potentially too many DEF rookies on-field).

Disclaimer, I am on record as being a Luke Ryan fan boy 
But I reckon Ryan is your guy, just so clean with the ball, good kick to handball ration, takes intercept marks, doesn't need a whole lot of the ball to score well.
Having said that, I dont think Savage is the worst pick either...but Ryan slightly ahead of Savage in my very biased opinion

Just did some digging, I would definitely play English ahead of Crowden, don't know much about Henry.
I am now giving some thought to fielding English over Lycett. Seems to be a clear number one ruck with Trengove and Roughead still out, and scored 76 in that role last game. Managed an 80 splitting the role in round one, and only scored poorly in round two when he was splitting it again and up against the Eagles, including NN.
Sinclair also seems to have given up 100+ to each of his main opponents so far. Clearly English would be weaker than most other rucks, but it can't hurt if Sinclair has been giving up points. The Swans mids are guns but this is already accounted for in Sinclair's opponents' scores, and the Dogs looked a lot better last week.

I see I see. In that case, I think English would be quite viable even at a higher price if you thought he would retain the number one ruck role, although worth noting that both Roughead and Trengove appear to be listed as tests this week.
Given that, I'd probably err on Crowden, who has decent value in my view even if he doesn't play (FD from a Perth based side is handy), especially if you don't have an existing link between your forward and mids. Could still be a decent cash cow too, I suspect that Lyon will place value on his pressure acts.
