Bully's Boys 2022

[Mat0369]

16 'premiums' and a full squad seems like a dream for this week. You are likely to fly up the rankings. I think a lot of sides are going to be on the cusp of just fielding 18 players, so you're in a good spot.

Hope so, could do with a good week, 2000 would be nice.

Parish vs Walsh

Anything to add?

[Mat0369]

I have Parish already and I traded Walsh in this week.

The only worry I have with Walsh is that Carlton have lot of mouths to feed. Doc, Hewett, Walsh and Cripps are all averaging big numbers. Saad is also around the ton mark. It may not be too dissimilar to the Dogs and their mids, but you may get a stretch of meh weeks where he scores okay but not terrible. He is a star and I would expect a couple of monsters to make up for any down scores. If he didn't injure his ankle there was a high chance I would have started with him

Parish I really liked heading into the season based on his midfield move last year. I feel he isn't as damaging this year because he was putting up monster scores last year and had a great ratio. He may be the now Tom Mitchell where he just accumulates and scores on sheer volume.

I think it's also because Essendon look like a rabble, the fact they aren't winning will no doubt be costing him points, his contested game & clearance numbers cannot be faulted.

The draw for the next 8 weeks looks a bit better from a Bombers perspective, I can see 3-4 wins which should translate to a 120+ average. 

Carlton (107)
St Kilda (112)
West Coast (136)
Sydney (109)
Brisbane (110)
Gold Coast (112)
Collingwood (133))
Kangas (152 & 138)

That's a pretty sweet draw, a couple of easy beats in Kangas & West Coast, no gremlins although I would be cautious of the GWS game in round 21 despite De Boer not playing his customary tagging role.

With MacDonald dropped I was forced to grab Clarke which hasn't been too bad, pretty solid debut & I reckon between him & MRJ you'll get one playing each week.

That extra 17k put me out of the running for Parish, not the end of the world & I'll look at the mids next week, Laird comes right into consideration too.

I've opted for Darcy, very awkward bye but I'm good for coverage next week so I think it's an ok move, Meek being dropped makes him a viable VC candidate.

You're going to have some great coverage while the cupboard is bare for a lot of others

I'm reasonably happy with the depth, Darcy risky but every time Meek plays I'll move him to the bench & loop where possible.

I think the key from here will be to build on Clark & McCartin, I'll need to play it smart with only 6 trades left but turning those two into prems will leave me well placed on all lines.

[Bully]

One of the other reasons I held off on the midfield was to give Petracca another game to mull over, if he's 480k he might be a good trade in when I upgrade Clark.

[Bully]

A decent week, moved up to 4k so edging closer to triple figures, this week critical to maintain a bit of momentum.

Now I'm in the position of being able to do nothing on the trade front, or look at a way to get myself 16 prems on the park.

The obvious angle is the bye players, I'm not convinced Brodie can maintain his form either, Fyfe will steal his clearances in all likelihood.

I don't believe this will come back to haunt me, I'd rather Parker or Libba in any case, easy fix down the road.

Laird is the bankable guy I'm looking for, ditto Witts & I do believe the docs were assessing Darcy's knee on the weekend, too risky to hold.

With 3 trades remaining I'm holding for a month, hopefully that coincides with Steele returning because he will surely impact on Gresham's output.

[Mat0369]

The team looks pretty good. The fact you still have McCartin as cover/cash gen is an even bigger bonus. Laird is one that just racks it up each and every week. Super dependable and a strong choice. I would probably hold Darcy, especially with the Gawn situation. He didn't look right at the end of the game and very well could have to go next week.

That's ok, will trade the sickest ruck I suppose, can hold Darcy no problems. I just hope he doesn't fall mid match, that's the risk.

[Bully]

Gawn in a moonboot, I'm bailing, will keep Darcy instead.

[Mat0369]

Gawn out a month according to the headline on the AFL site. Probably have to trade him.

No brainer, especially with the bye next week.

[Bully]

So this is what I'm thinking, Bazzo makes Paddy useful on two lines so he might well be a keeper, which means I can build on Clark to a high standard deviation guy like Petracca with my final trades.

That leaves me with only one long term injury trade but pretty good cover on all lines, if they start dropping after that then dems da breaks.
