The best/worst thing about the Bombers team is they always have injuries. As long as your player is not getting injured, they have a good chance of getting a run.
How many trades have you made so far?

Lol 8?
You'll have none left by round 10-15.
You didn't "have to" cut Bock, should have waited a week and assessed. Silly mistake.

I have used 3 so far and won't be doing any this round. I'm planning to use 2 trades next week though.

Two used so far. Johnson (LTI) -> Beams & Skippy (Also inj.) -> Boomer. I highly doubt that i'll use any trades next week

Used 2 so far. Anthony to Otten, Raines to Petrenko.
Got a few issues with my team at the moment with Birchall, Masten and Skipworth all out. Leaves me very light on in terms of my bench but I cannot afford to burn early trades.
Will resist temptation to trade this week, but in all likelihood will be using 2 next week. Masten dowgrade to either Hartlett or Barham, Skippy upgrade to a fallen premium, haven't decided yet as I have plenty of time. Or I might do the opposite: Skippy down to someone like Warren if he keeps his spot in the team, Masten up to a premium midfielder. Not sure which way to go just yet but it is not urgent for this week.

Just traded Buckley. I'll be spewing if he returns and does well, but the lack of news is just disgusting. In the future I'll be avoiding any fringe players at Melbourne because there's just no interest (from supporters or media) in actually finding out what's wrong.
Used four trades now for 3 LTI and 1 non-selection. One could be considered an upgrade, but god this is a horrible start. The guys I pencilled in as injury prone have managed to stay fit so far too.

I set myself a rule at the start of the year, no sideways trades or trades for injuries of less than 4 weeks in the first half of the season. Bit of an experiment really and I'm only going for a league win so am happy to cop a couple of early losses. So no trades so far for me but I copped a zero and lost last week with Broughton, Raines and PBurgoyne all out.
This week Simmons, N Brown and Skippy have gone down as well with Hentchel also out. I'll have 2 zeros this week and will lose. Would trade Hentchel but no definite target to go to. I'm debating picking one of the forward rookies who debuted last week but have been burnt before by pulling the trigger too early on rookies after one week.

1 so far Anthony -> Beams
Will probably trade out Robinson for the best looking 2nd game mid prospect next week. Am keeping Skipworth for now as to not waste a trade, I don't have enough cash to pick up anyone decent for him, so I should be able to cover him with Ziebell and M. Brown as emergencies.

One so far and will upgrade Skippy to buddy tomorrow.
Happy with the way things are going at the moment!

none.
i nearly did Raines -> Cheney after rd2, but thought better of it.
here's something i noticed throughout:
Skipworth began the year in 45,000 teams
right now, he is in 90,000 teams... or 
???
how many will he be in after this rd

I'll admit I've made 5 trades so far:
Round 2
Jay Nash > Leigh Harding
Andrew Raines > Ricky Peterd
Round 3
Cameron Cloke > Josh Fraser
Marcus Drum > Ryan Houlihan
Round 4
Liam Anthony > Dayne Beams
Smarter picks at the start would have prevented nearly all of those bar the Anthony one, so I'll know that for next year. All have improved my team though, and I'd be in a real jam if I hadn't made any of those trades yet. Getting Fraser has been a genius move IMO, as he's done well for me the past two weeks as Captain
I'm not forced to make any trades this round, but I am considering it. I think I might just sit tight though

I have used 4 trades.
Last year everyone was using maximum trades early in the season. This year has gone the other way.

Used 0 trades, I am not without my problems sadly my bench has been full of injuries all season.
The poll is showing people are valueing trades more highly this year.

I've used no trades and I'm going fine. Still averaging over 2000, my only injury has been chris knights who I've kept on to, waiting for a fallen premium, and also have raines who i think should come back round 6 and should show some form everyone expected of him
all in all, people should have more trust in their emergencies.. it's probly been one of the best years for rookies!

Nah mate, it is a public poll and I hate public polls.
I want to keep a little mystery with regards to my team.
I just wanted to look at the results and see how people have voted.

Have made 3.
Butler -> Zha, Spangler -> Harding - fixing up bad picks and getting a good cash cow
Anthony -> Beams - LTI
Hopefully that's:
- corrected my major mistakes in picking my team,
-got me one possible keeper (harding) and two cash cows who will help me get some more guns in by mid year and
- it's meant having Hardings score rather than zero's in the backs.
Have avoided trading out Raines, Hentchsell and Skippy (so far).
So far have made one more trade than planned but with Higgins Krakouer Houlihan and Rich all scoring and playing well might mean at least a couple are unplanned keepers which will mean less trades to make than planned.
