Well Balta is out...

Should I swap to Parker now or give it a week?

I would hold and see how Parker goes against Essendon.

Reckon I might do it now

Means I still have 2 trades next week, and even though I know Parker won't score like last week often he has zero JS issues

Yep I’ve put Parker in and I’m pretty happy with it.

On second thoughts, Pies only have Cox then a bunch of good small forwards - Balta could be have been dropped due to lack of need/match-up - and obviously Markov and Ellis help with Pies smalls

He could be a chance to return next week/soon perhaps

That’s what I was thinking/hoping

Yep I’m holding him

KB just reminded me that we can use Balta to loop Setters next week and beyond too - so reckon it might actually be a hold for now and reassess next week

Sounds to me he’s rather not pick him really, but not many options...

Nostril Darn Us...

He was very poor in rd 1. Would rather the cash generation than a loophole at this stage of the year.

Yep. Cash generation over loophole.

Hoping for a fwd rookie named this week to pick up on the bubble in a couple. No standouts for a straight trade atm...

Curtis Taylor, my prediction  ;)

Although a loophole is always good I would much prefer cash generation from Parker at this stage. I’ve pulled the trigger.

It’s not guaranteed cash though... what if Parker has a stinker and gets dropped/managed next week. Balta still out, Collins doesn’t return, Greene misses and Grundy/Gawn stink it up. Miers/Petrucelle score 100s and become ‘must haves’. This is when the rd2 correction trades become a real conundrum...

[RaisyDaisy]

The loophole was a secondary benefit

The point still stands, it could be due to match ups and he could be back next week so trading him next week is still fine if he doesn't get the call up

Doesn't leave you with 2 trades for next week though, so I guess you'd need to weigh that up

At this stage, I think giving it a week might be my best option - hopefully I don't cop injuries this round

Also a good point. I’m undecided now.
