A highly-touted key forward, Armstrong somewhat slipped down the draft board and the Tigers took him with glee at pick 23.
The mobile and athletic tall was named All-Australian after dominating for Vic Metro in the National Championships.
He booted five goals in the decider against Vic Country, while also kicking four in the Sandringham Dragons’ Grand Final triumph, making the Coates League Team of the Year in the process.
A big-game player.
