100% - Rd 15 looks to be a sideway trade week, so it makes 100% sense that this would happen.
I'm seeing a lot teams running pretty hard on the trade count... seems like an ideal trade... but I suspect in R15 the discussion will be how many trades you need to see out the final 9 rounds. Do you have say 4-5 injury trades plus 9 trades for the byes left? Do those 9 trades get you to full premo/keeper?

The quality teams will be coming out of the byes with a full premo/keeper team I think

I agree - ideal for those who can complete those trades. I'm also seeing a lot of teams with only 13-15 viable players for Rd 15, and often they can include rookies like JvR, Chandler, Mitchell, Weddle, Johnson, Simpson, Atkins, Humphrey (if included), etc - those who aren't Rd 15 rookies.

For me, I believe there will be a lot of scrambling for Rd 15 just to get a side, unless you trade Rd 12 & 13 players in place of them come Rds 13 & 14 (rookies that is). I agree with NT Thunder that those at the top of the tree will use those 2 weeks to still ugrade/downgrade

It’s always the plan - whether the plan comes together is a different matter. I look at the wasted trades on Stewart and Anderson - all up 4 or 5 and how much I’d love them back now. The Anderson ones especially- Stewart was bad luck.

I just looked at round 12 and its ugly. I'm going to be scrambling for a full side with Oliver on the bench, 6 premium byes and so many non playing rookies (really thought Cincotta and chesser would get a game) plus Johnson bye. I dont want to, but it looks like I have to do piggy to merrett as I am going for overall.
