Bully's Boys 2025

Yeah Butters looks like a target to get. Bont was huge my worry is with Darcy going down does he spend more time FWD? He's done okay in the past with that but could that bring his scoring back a bit?

A lot got rolled with El-Hawli and Gross being the subs

I think Bont will do ok, his scoring should be top 10 material. He'll drop a bit but when & how is the critical question. The kicker here is he's VC/C material, might be worth the premium to get those scores doubled. I'll assess next week, might even have a stab at Merrett who will be sub 600k. I need 5 midfielders from here so can take my time on the really expensive players. SPP & Bice are the cash cows for next week or the week after.

That was a rough week given how good the team is. Rookies are a bit of a worry, but that's everyone.

Hopefully you can get O'Sullivan or Moraes out next week and Hewett onto the field in their place. Possibly for Tunstill?

Even better they both come good and score well.

With boosts used up (me) these big Bont and butters upgrades are going to be tough with stagnant rookies.

Excellent you went early on Whitfield or Sinclair whichever one you didn't start.

Fwd Line and Def Lines are pretty much done, you're in very good shape if you can get a mid or three up by the byes, with those three rucks.

I think you have proved that the three rucks used in flex is the way to go. There may be better value in the money spent by just doing the "best rook" in flex strategy and spending the extra money for an extra on field premium.

BUT - that flex ruckman score is making you A LOT of points every round taking out the worst on field rooks core.

Started Zorko, traded JHF for Sinclair & Roberts for Whitfield, happy with those trades even though I had to rush JHF in last week. As you say, most lines done, just need to get 1 defender & 5 mids. Bice & SPP will get me 1 big player, hopefully one of these other rookies can push towards 300k so I can get another. Heart says Bont all the way, head says wait for a dip in price. Merrett is the other I'm strongly considering.

I should have got Hewett two weeks ago when you or maybe Mat mentioned him. Still value at $611, but yeah Merrett and Rowell especially who has been ultra consistent is excellent value. Then there is still Rozee who may get defender at round 12, could he be your last defender? Nick Martin D/F is another one on watch.

Hewett would have been an excellent POD, that was Mat's suggestion but a good one. Rozee with DPP would be an excellent pick.

It would be nice if you could sneak in Flynn this week but I think I'd take the three big ruck scores each week.

Hewett was a value pick a fortnight ago when he was still around 500k. The guys around that margin that I'm keeping an eye on are Cripps and LDU.

Cripps hasn't really gotten going the last month outside of the Eagles game. He has looked okay, but the Carlton clearance game hasn't been great and Hewett has had his own footy.

LDU and the North midfield have been treading water. He always seems to have a mediocre game against us and hit his straps a couple of weeks later. He should be a straight swap for someone like Davidson in a fortnight hopefully.

Warner, Stewart and Dylan Moore are the other three that will be in the bargain bin in the next few weeks as well.

Rowell flies under the radar and can pump out 130's consistently. His problem is he fades hard in the second half of the season with the rest of the Suns team. At 558k I like the price. He has had one score in the 70's and smashed out a 120+ score every other week

Merrett is another that if he drops enough he is a must have. He is playing forward a bit but is too damn consistent every year.

My worry is how do we afford the Bont/Butters types unless they have a real stinker. Those value guys are going to play a key part, it's just grabbing the right ones

SPP + Bice = Butters/Bont

Not this week but in a fortnight.
