Is anyone else looking at not doing any trades this week?

I'm confident with nearly all my players and there is really nothing i can do to upgrade my rookies until my cash cows gain value, the only trade I would possibly do is drummond if he has a LTI
I'm considering it. Atm the only trades that I can see myself doing is:
Cloke down to Hill
Upgrade 1 of Hansen/SDT/Hartlett, possibly Osborne with plent of $ left.

Is this worth it...

Depending on the Drummond situation, no trades.

No room for Hill. Got Rioli/Gamble/Tippet.

No room for Tuck. Got Palmer/Bird/Grigg.

Plenty of room for a decent back but there's none worthy. Got Edwards/Hansen/Proud.

Week 3 gone with noooooooo trades done. Amazing :D

Look its a difficult decision, I'm not really in support of trading down a player for a rookie who you will have to use another trade to get rid of later, but by Hill's recent form he could possibly be a keeper for the year

If Hansen or SDT isnt named next week I would probably do the trade and upgrade one of them, but if they are I would just go with what your guts tell you

I wish. Stupidly changed Palmer out of my team before the season because he wasn't named. Picked the first name I recognised as having potential - Hislop. Hasn't played a game (was suspended apparently, some things you should really look up before panicking, lol), and the worst thing is that I'll probably end up trading him back to Palmer, the player I had originally.

Hmmmmm.
Nothing really staring at me anymore.

Newman, Symes, Mattner and Hall were all on the chopping block and they all (Especially Newman and Hall) had great weeks.

I want Simmonds (I have Wood, he is doing ok... better in SC).
But I'm 60K away from that trade and no-one to downgrade!

My 7th backmen is killing me... (Brown, Hartlett, Scott DT).

Trading still a swear word?

Heres some I've been considering, have injuries too Dew, Drummond and Raines, so pending ressies and the seriousness may need to trade.

Dew to Hill or leave Dew on bench and use Tippett/Rioli

Drummond/Raines- Bowden, Symes, Osborne

Osborne looks a nice pick up if he can maintain this scoring, seriously doubting he can though, thoughts?

Yep, same problem as me. No idea what to do at the moment. Will use my two trades this week in other places so can only hope Brown can pull out a half decent score for next week.

Yep pretty much the thought process that I'm going through as well.

I've heard that Adam Goodes is reported, is this true?
I dont think the umpire at the game reported him but apparently he was responsible for a Port Adelaide player going down in the centre square

I didnt see the actually incident but I think Goodes still has 70 points carrying over from last year so he could be in some trouble

Damn, this whole staying up late deal actually paid off!

Very surprised to see that only 2 people have cracked 4000 points overall. My 3838 are good enough for 83rd overall! Stoked with that, its my highest ranking ever (only round 2 I know). :D

They're off to a flyer. They really are doing well.
Seems to me the mantra of picking a team where most of the players beat last year's average is being applied. That's all you have to do.
