Reckon Walsh is the better pick in 2021
He’s the alpha scorer at Carlton this year
the lions have a serious spread of scorers this year
Rich clugg Lyons Zorko all scoring elite numbers
Neale competing with that over walsh competing with underperforming Cripps and Docherty taking points
I like Walsh for overall and I like Walsh for league

Neale isn’t the Neale of 2020
Yeah, can't buy last years points!

Dusty v Greene?
Dusty is about as close to risk free as you get given he's in 67% of teams, so the only reason to bet against him is if you need a point of difference for rankings etc. If that's the case, I wouldn't go Greene as all he needs to do is miss a game or 2 and you're well and truly behind the 67% with Dusty whereas if Dusty misses a game you're in the same boat as 2/3 teams.

Don't hate the idea of betting against Dusty (especially as if it's someone who's had their bye you get +1 game in the comparison) but would ideally suggest someone with a little more durability, and who doesn't rely on goals as much for their scoring.

Langford around the same price could be worth a look? Or if you're keen on a more speculative, high risk/high reward option you could maybe look at Jezza?

Jelly v Walsh or any alternative with a 5 as the first number
I have both. I'd take Jelly, Walsh has been underwhelming to own (5 round 106) and doesn't have Jelly's ceiling. Fades in second halves, and is not a proven 115+ player.

Jelly is now a potential captain candidate, I wouldn't be confident to do this for Walsh.

I was hoping to find an alternative to Dusty at a similar price, but as you say, Greene is not a great option in terms of durability.
I'll probably grab Dusty next week.
I'm already bringing in Langford this week (y)
