Walsh, Constable and Scott all look like they should be on field, but I've only got space for two :(

Scott on the bench this week, 34 at 1/4 time

All about that cash. Helps ease the pain of the bench rookies on the other lines being sub 50 players on the reg

Parker done very well.
Real happy took him instead of Balta

Fielded Balta and Collins, Captained Grundy. Sub 2k for me this week

yep, Collins & Balta on the field for me too >:(

Collins probably needs to be traded if you have him as his B/e is listed as 49. Balta probably worth another week though with Rances injury although his B/E is 32.

What if Collins gets 60 this week though? The 27 will only affect one price change. I think it's worth waiting until next week at least (pending other problems you have)

For me, Collins would have to go this week if Iâ€™m going to be any chance of getting Newman if he lights it up again, so that might sway me into a trade. Balta the other concern, but no money made from a sideways there, so can wait for now.

Still undecided though and fair comment. just need to work out whether I need 3 corrective trades or 2 and Rucks as we know from Rd 1 could be an issue.

Calm down people - you're crazy to make decisions based off 1 single game

You picked your rookies for a reason, so give them another chance

As for BE who gives a shower their first score rolls out of their average soon anyway and if they actually score ok this week their cash and low BE will begin again

Nobody should be trading any rookies this week imo

I don't have Parker and Wilkie, but they scored well against the crappest side in the comp, and the game was on the line so points went a bit crazy at the end

Wouldn't be surprised if they both put up 50's next week

Unless someone is dropped or injured, or you're certain you'll need more than two correction trades next week. Otherwise, I agree.

Well yeah, that goes without saying I would have thought :)

Anyone watch the Hawks vs Crows? I decided to start Cousins as one of my on field rookies, but didn't seem to do that well even though he had a fair bit of the ball. Was it due to poor DE, or should I look at using a corrective trade on him? Will definitely wait another week, but just wanted some idea on how he actually went.

Money Shot · March 25, 2019, 01:57:40 PM

No trades should happen this week in my opinion. Wait a week and see how everyone goes. If Collins and Balta both score 80+ this week and Wilkie and Parker go <50 youâ€™ve just wasted 2 trades.

And donâ€™t trade premiums, esepecially after 1 round!

Looking at picking between Joyce and Wilkie for Collins, wether its this week or next.
Checked their JLT stats and Joyce looks to be pretty much the same as he was Rd 1 while Wilkie hardly got on the field. Would be interesting to know why Wilkie was played so little in JLT.
Watching the first quarter of yeterdays game it looks like Joyce is playing on the taller forward and Wilkie the smaller guy. Am I right there?
Does this move Joyce out when Brown returns?

The general consensus is Joyce will be replaced by Brown. Wilkie would have been pushed out by Roberton but seems as though he will have a chance to cement his spot.
