Yeah ignore that sorry, I read a bogus report on twitter. I'll be sitting pat this week
Round 2 trades
- Thread starter jester5au
- Start date
Emerging Suns forward Ben Ainsworth hasn't been as fortunate as he faces up to six weeks on the sidelines after suffering a similar injury, while defender Sam Collins will need to pass concussion protocols after a head knock in the final stages of Saturday's tight loss.

After round 2 if Collins $#@!s the bed again what are peoples thoughts on Ballard or H.Taylor? Pods…
Kicking myself for being sucked into Callum Mills, I'll hold him another week but can see myself trading him to Newman next week.
Managed to avoid Collins so I haven't got that problem to worry about. Burgess is top of my list for rookie corrections next week, will be keeping an eye on WIlkie & Joyce from the Saints this week as replacements if he fails again. I've also got Balta but his JS isn't actually too bad and I see his scoring improving.

Houli ruled out for the week, firms up Baltas possi you would think.

Not sure what trading for these guys will exactly do for your team mate. Collins has just been confirmed as out this weekend so I'd trade him for a fellow rookie if considering to move him on. Wilkie is the one I like down back I chucked him in at the last minute on the weekend, played a good game last week and the Saints are screaming for young talent to come through so will get games and make you abit of cash to upgrade down the track.
I think a few people here are ready to panic trade off just 1 score. A few players I assume a few are looking at trading in have a team mate coming back in soon that could impact their scoring.
Rocky - Wines
Sheed - Gaff
Worpel - Wingard (and maybe Scully in a few weeks)
Coniglio - Kelly (and Ward a couple of weeks later)
I can see Coniglio being a great option based on his history, but the other 3 surely is a large risk, perhaps an unnecessary one, especially before round 2 with all trades based on very limited data. Congrats if you started with them though, but I don't think it's worth the risk and cost to use a precious trade before round 2 starts. I don't even think it's worth trading out Collins this week unless you have really bad issues (eg injuries/non playing/no bench cover).
I think cash generation could be a little tougher than usual this year with there appearing to be not so many great rookie options at this stage and throughout the season to target, burning trades now likely isn't going to help you in 12-22 weeks time.

Balta has been dropped. Given I have most of the good FWD rookies is it worth doing a correction trade? (Went Balta instead of Parker but I've got Setterfield, Drew & Petruccelle).
Balta dropped.....
My plan at this stage is hold off for a week and then trade him for whoever impresses the most out of Wilkie/Joyce via some DPP wizardry.

Think I'm erring on doing this and then trading out Collins next week for whomever of Wilkie/Joyce looks a lock.
Gibbons a cheap as chips slow burn, one 60 or 70 score after rd4 and that'll make him moo nicely so fine just sticking with him. Atkins is someone I'm worried will be dropped, not sure who I'd pick to replace him but can kick that can to next week too.
Prems are prems, you don't trade them out and if anyone deserves an albatross necklace for choosing Gawn/Grundy after being against it all pre-season it's me.
Interesting!!
I had set before seeing this Darling to Parker and Gibbons to Rocky.
Actually would like to see Darling out as makes it easier.
My inclination atm is to hold - think he may get another go next week when the opposition height may be more conducive to his selection.
Teams are out and there's been some interesting changes.

Also worth noting, an idea floated on Twitter this morning. If Riewoldt misses substantial time with his wrist injury, Dusty will most probably spend more time forward.
If Rocky looks good again this week, I'm jumping on the train.
I notice that Melb have named Lockhart. $103k Rookie DEF/MID. If scores / job security is ok then he could be a good downgrade target in a couple of weeks if Ridley (or other mid/rookie defenders) don't work out. Dual position is a bonus too.
