I'll do the following if enough of my rookies are named (although I'm throwing away some of the ones who might not appear)

Tom Green > Bennell
Sturt > Cavarra
Max King > Darcy Fort
Oliver > Viney
Houston > Howe

Leaves me 113k to trade Viney and/or Howe out in 2 weeks time.
Is the bolded around the wrong way? Sorry, have been out of the loop.

We need a poll on who is and isn't grabbing Viney.

Anyone have any thoughts on him?
Not grabbing him as I'm happy with my midfield so far other than Tom Green.
Defence needs more work so I'm just doing Houston > Howe and the remaining 4 trades rookie corrections

Thinking about offloading Houston but 79 isn’t bad for a defender after one game. Not sure if I should keep or not.

I'm considering Pittonet at R3 and keeping Naismith at R2. Naismith good for the VC loophole this week.
Does anyone know if Pittonet has a solid job?
3 options in replacements
Tom De Koning Ankle 2-3 weeks
Matthew Kreuzer Foot 5-6 weeks
or they may opt to use Casboult so I'm sure he has a few in him.

I've been tossing up the same thing. Had a slow start against the Suns, picked it up throughout the game (but it was well over by then). CBA's were really high, hope he is able to maintain that midfield role. Doubt around Wines for Rd 2 would keep him there for at least week. Last year he showed some really good scoring potential when in the midfield, so I'm going to hold. Feel like he can still average 90-95, and be a top 6 defender.

I'm worried Houston will get run-with roles, which isn't conducive to fantasty friendly scores, and Howe is playing that floating intercept marking style role which is conducive to higher scoring. Could be wrong but taking a punt and the trade frees up cash for other trades.
It's either that or go for Viney, which I'm happy to pass given I'm ok with my mids as Macrae, Neale, Kelly, Cripps, Cogs.

Really hoping Sturt misses out. I don't want to be forced to use a trade on him honestly...
I am in the opposite camp as he makes cash this round if plays and leaves 1 less player to choose from in round 3 to bring in. With so many rookies around now we can only pick up 2 in round 3.
