Bully's Boys 2022

Did you end up grabbing McComb instead of Clark this week? Available rookies on the bubble are going to be Carroll and Hamilton. Hamilton at basement price with DPP is tempting

Got McComb and happy with his output, will look at those two this week, Carroll might be a trap however, Hamilton could be useful.

[Bully]

But just one more comment on the AFL reporting, the news Essendon had an outbreak should have been made available Saturday morning, the AFL website seems to be hours behind, zero reliability, it makes this game pure luck.

[Mat0369]

Agree on Carroll. I don't see him holding the spot for more than a couple weeks with Hewett due back

I think the news was reported on Twitter around 5.30. So way after the other game started which sucks

[Bully]

Horrible week, has torpedoed my year but back on the horse I suppose.

Pretty simple this week, Dixon for Rioli, Titch to Doch, next week I'll grab a gun mid, Steele becoming obtainable which is timely. Ward to Clark a near certainty.

[Mat0369]

Both trades make sense and Steele put up an inevitable clunker which should see his price drop nicely. Doc feels like a must down back

[Bully]

Tim English out again, at least I made the right call there, might look at him next week.

[Mat0369]

Yup, flu this week

Looks like Hewett also likely to miss. I probably should have traded him earlier but might use him for loophole purposes again

[Mat0369]

There appears to be a bit of rookie carnage this week. Does that change your trades at all?

Not really, will swing Rioli to the mids if McComb fails, Hewett can still be covered by Crisp or De Koning, the loopholes just enough coverage.

[Bully]

So it's looking like I won't have 600k for Steele which will make for an interesting selection next week, on the short list -

English 572k - looking like I will be 6k short due to Ward & Noddy being dropped, not a huge concern as he still has a BE of 99

Brayshaw (566k projection)- I like him but he's a high standard deviation player like Mills, probs only can carry one of this type

Petracca (566k projection) - another high standard deviation player but I'm more confident going down this path compared to Brayshaw

Bont (562k projection) - I like Bont the best as I think he may get DPP in a few weeks, I also feel he will have a monster second half as he has been relatively quiet up till now

[Bully]

Put a line through Bont, will be 573k, can see this going close to the wire.

[Mat0369]

Isn't the key to grab Steele in a fortnight and not next week? I think he has that  75 in rotation for two more price rises.

Noddy to Clark, Ward to mid was the plan but like most of my plans this year everything gets scuttled by omissions or dud outings.

Steele would be super and my clear number 1 choice but it would have to be in a fortnight as I will only have 566k. The 10k lost on Noddy & Ward now becomes a game changer.

I could go Steele in 2 weeks but I think I want to get this done in 2 trades and next week, still have room for Steele with the last mid position.

[Mat0369]

What if you dumped Butters next week in a correction trade and then looked to bring in English the week after by going one up and one down?
