Tbetta’s Bullets: Round 21 – Twitter Style

Unfortunately this week the real world got in the way of Tbetta firing his bullets. He instead had a crack at putting some thoughts in 140-characters or less via Twitter. Be sure to give him a follow and send him your tweets @Tbetta9.

This post will be updated as Tweets are posted.

Welcome to a belated and abridged version of the #Bullets! Round 20 was like first week of DT Finals each year – a complete ambush for most.

#Bullets R20 Review: Smokey Captains a huge success! Some real upsets in League H2H's with Gaz 64 & Swan 94 vs Selwood's 157 & Rocky's 115.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets R20 Review: Some very sneaky performers ATM. Ward (139, 138 & 121), Crouch (3 straight tons) & Libba (114.8 avg in L5). Great PODs!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets R20 Review: Titch Train has come to a stop. Many thanks for his early achievements, but only 1 score over 74 in L4 not enough at M8

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets R20 Review: Dean Cox is back everyone! Without NicNat, he's averaged 116.7 DT per game in L3. Doubt NN returns this year either.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Polling: 3. J. Selwood (157). Simply brilliant! 4 goals and 12 marks the highlights. Port stuffed up by sending Moore over Kornes!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Polling: 2. Ellis (119). The classic OOP pick in the backline (where we've had serious issues lately) – 91+ in each of L4. Boom!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Polling: 1. C. Mayne (112). Seriously can't believe this guy is a killer DTer now?! At least 2 goals & 5 tackles in 4/5 last games.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Trolling: 3. Ablett (64). Can't go past the big fizzer from Gazza against the Melb spazzes. Massively anticlimactic and unexpected!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Trolling: 2. K.Jack (57). As predicted last wk, blinding form results in first tag (Macaffer) since GWS (79). Avg'd 122 in between.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Trolling: 1. T.McKenzie (53). Cannon hasn't fired for weeks, notching 60, 69 and 53 in L3. Role change? 53 against Demons pathetic.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets See-Sawing: With 2 trades in Finals but multiple issues to patch, most will need to go the old 'One up, One down" trade combo.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets See-Sawing: To get the upper-echelon guys we want, need to trade down to some cheap performers for $$$… But who are the cheapies?

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Cheapies: Burgoyne ($341k M/D). More Mid time plus Hawks chip-possession style lately means Burg's served up 98 & 103 in L2. @RoyDT

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Cheapies: Duffield ($311k DEF). Incredibly cheap for what he can do. Back into form with 90 vs GWS, and plays Melb this week…

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Cheapies: Watson ($409k MID). Wow – makes me wish I hadn't completed my Mids yet. Gun rain/hail/shine,113 and 120 since returning.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Cheapies: Wellingham ($372k M/F). 100.3 avg in L3 (low of 93), finally had a good run at it with his ankles. Will Mid time persist?

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Cheapies: Sylvia ($358k M/F). Perfect YOLO option – great scoring ability but devastating basement. Only 2 sub-80's in L10 outings.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Stay The Course: In the Driver's seat with your Finals match-up this week? All you need to do is play it safe with these blokes:

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Stay The Course: Hanley ($429k DEF). Fundamental member of any Ultimate 22 IMO. Slutty type, 100.8 avg in L5 with a low of just 84!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Stay The Course: Ellis ($404k DEF). Ellis is basically a midfielder we can get as a backman – will always see plenty of the footy.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Stay The Course: Griffen ($527k MID). Tagged every week yet still belts out scores like 133 & 121 (L2). ADL, BRIS, MEL in run home.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Stay The Course: Mayne ($436k FWD). Melb this week, super-consistent with his output each round. Had 111 vs Dees in rout last time!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Stay The Course: N. Riewoldt ($415k FWD). Why look elsewhere? Roo has had an exceptional season, dropping under 80 just once! Wow.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: Who will Freo rest this week? Find out tonight, but easy game in Victoria the perfect opportunity to refresh some stars…

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: It feels weird to downgrade in DT Finals, but sometimes you need the cash to make an actual upgrade.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: I like $89k hacks over Premium-priced Johnston ($140k) or Blee ($116k) if you're just going to have them at D8/F8 anyway.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: The exception to that is if Clisby (out for the year due to suspension) is your only DEF bench cover. Blee/Davis if named.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: Seen with Fyfe & Jack recently that trading in form players fraught with danger – the hard tag finds them eventually.

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: Can't wait to see the #SelwoodShowdown this wk – what's the over/under for Frees with that pair?! Love a brotherly battle!

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

#Bullets Musings: Will this finally be the week that the tag switches over from Deledio to Cotch? Tiger Captain has avgd 119 in L5 starts…

— Tbetta (@Tbetta9) August 15, 2013

That's it for a very underdone #Bullets – cheers to everyone who's tweeted in! I'll get around to answering your Q's shortly – Good luck!
