No, Because that would mean one of Gov, Barrass, Hurn, Cole, Duggan or Sheppard would have to be dropped. We run with 6 defenders and a spare on the bench, can't see us dropping a mid to bring an 8th defender into the team.
Duggan was brought straight back in for Rotham after 1 week so that shows Duggan is rated, Gov, Barrass, Hurn, Shep are going nowhere... so that only leaved Cole. And he is highly rated internally as a mid sized defenfer, Premiership player, and can play on all sizes. Can't see him suddenly being dropped whilst he's in good form for a 2 game player no matter how good Rotham has looked.

I want Rotham but I'd actually rather not need to grab him this week if can avoid it and he stays on bubble for a few weeks. The reality is , if he is 8th in cue for defence spot and 7 in 22 every week he will still get games plenty of times because there likely to be 1 of other 7 out from time to time.

Don't forget Grand Final hero and Premiership defender Will Schofield... Simmo said just before Rotham's Debut that Schofield couldn't be considered to replace Duggan, as he was ill that week. So had Schoey not been crook... I doubt Rotham even makes his debut. Francis Watson was also ahead Rotham in the pecking order over the JLT series.
I don't think Rotham is automatically the 8th in line in defense.

Never gave it much thought until I saw the article on the AFL site... But we could be in for a bonus influx of bargain priced rookies after round 10...
You would think any club drafting would be doing so for immediate needs, so they might be useful.
"The evening following round 10 - Monday, May 27 - marks the first Mid-Season Rookie Draft since 1993, with 14 positions currently available across the competition."

A full week before multi bye rounds start too. Will be interesting.
Certainly as a Carlton supporter, if we have not found a goal kicking small forward by that time I fully expect to be grabbing the best available in form type in that mid season rookie draft and fair chance he play too,
At present our two best options seem injured. Pickett out until later in season and Kym LeBois barely played more than a few games in a row at VFL level in two years due to injuries. I do not think he played last week either so fair chance mid season we still looking for that elusive goal kicking/pressure forward we lacking big time right now. At present we been trying midfielders there like Gibbons and Polson but they really midfielders pushed to learn the forward craft and certainly not worked so far. Fasolo been no use either after pre-season injury and form in opening two rounds no good. He had back injury last week in VFL so not confident that working out either. Bring on the mid season rookie draft....

Checking things off before doing any trades for round.
Hope I got all the ones I need to consider.
I suspect some are emergencies this week that I may have missed.
Actually come to think of it Robbie Young and Jon Marsh of Saints probably do not have below.
Just pasting from a little sorting done from keeper league I play with only Supercoach scores involved rather than our keeper league scores.

With so many mids like Ross, Hayes and Hately being active in coming weeks to possibly grab, I may see if letting Stack go is an ok thing to do and find bigger fish to fry this trading round. Will give it some thought but Stack got to think long and hard whether right for my structure this week in terms of trades.
Prospectus write ups on the following rookies
- Liam Baker: rated elite for Champion Data ranking points for general forwards in the VFL. The only general forward to play at least 10 games to rate elite for disposals, CPs, UPs, score assists and score involvements. Rated average for tackles. 21 years old.
- Jack Ross: Recorded 25 disposals or more in five of his final six games in the TAC Cup (where he averaged 97SC). Rated above average for disposals and elite for disposal efficiency and kicking efficiency. Was 7th in clearances in the TAC Cup and won the B&F for the Oakleigh Chargers.
- Lachlan Young: Averaged 62 Champion Data points (pretty sure this means SC) in the VFL last year and 13.3 disposals. In each of his 3 seasons of TAC Cup, he has averaged ~13 disposals and between 66-68 CD points. Averaged 4.4 Intercept Possessions in the VFL last season.
- Will Hayes: Averaged 94 Champion Data points across his last two seasons in the VFL where he has played as a midfield. Averaged 97 SC and 98 DT last season in the VFL, where he won Footscray's B&F and rated elite as a midfielder for disposals, kicks and UPs. Played as a fwd in his first three seasons of VFL, where he averaged 0.9 goals per game and 68 Champion Data points.
- Jackson Hately: Averaged 83 DT and 91 SC in the SANFL last season, where he played mainly as an outside midfielder. Averaged 96 DT and 107 SC in the U18 Championships, rating elite for clearances and tackles. Has kicked 49 goals from his 52 matches covered by Champion Data.
