Is 5 trades with good bench cover too little after the byes ?
I have heard 6 trades being mentioned at the end of the byes on the podcast would allow me to get full premo (with the exception of petraca) by round 14.

It depends if you are going for overall or league win.

Overall you should be fine.
League win could be trouble if there is carnage and players are put out to surgery. Especially if the player is not playing finals. So the last 3 weeks you may need 4-6 trades.

If going for overall you might as well use the trades if it's getting you a better scores on field. No point having leftover trades if you're going for overall.

Hi. Any thoughts on a playing backline rookie. Giro is the obvious choice but I have a full playing midfield and I want Ahern but he is on bye. Need 1 more warm body obfield. Then I can bring in either Yeo or buddy. Help big decision time
Roarke Smith is the only option playing this week. Looking down the yet to debut list, I can't see anyone who could get named this week either. Wait for teams, but if you want someone to play this week then Smith is the only option. Not the worst option and may build into the season nicely, but also not dirt cheap.

There are a couple of guys who've played 1 game who are on the bye this week.

Brandtner from West Coast is debuting this week. 148k def/fwd. Could come in very handy later on even if he doesnt get many games.

OMG more bye carnage Phillips, Murphy & Coffield all dropped and no Laird. Looks like ill have 15 playing :(
17 for me. All that planning wasted. Laird and Walters missing hurts a lot.

I would be happy with 17
I've got 18, and still 2 trades to use this week. Will bring in a 19th, just tossing up whether to bring in Ahern or a 20th for this week.

Did anyone take Gray? Or Westhoff? or Rockcliff or Wingard....
Wingard at the last minute. Don't have any of the others but will probably get Gray next week, especially with McLean stinking it up again this week.

Giro seems to be the most likely for Spargo/E Phillips/L Murphy to generate cash. or can you wait till next week when there quite a few better options eg: Ahern.

Thanks for that. I was just wondering if I should make an upgrade this week and who would you pick up like a Cripps or wait for R Gray next week for example. Cheers

Was deciding between Wingard and Kennedy. Went Kennedy. Stupid.
All half decent Port players scored well last night. I wouldn't expect it to happen every week. JJK and Wingard will probably average around the same from here.
