Fortunately I have both Ferguson & Birch so don't have many cheap options available to trade in besides McMahon from freo. Hooker looks to be a mistake. Both McCarthy & Bohanna are major concerns up fwd. Svarc not a massive concern but could use her cash.
Hooker is the definite out. Svarc/McCarthy/Bohana/Fuller the trade bait.
Possible trades I've been playing around with:
Option A: Get a 3rd gun fwd:
OUT: Hooker, McCarthy & Bohanna
IN: K Antonio, Gilmore & fwd under 20k
Option B: Get a 3rd gun mid
OUT: Svarc, Hooker & McCarthy
IN: Riddell, P Randall & Gilmore
Option C: Get a gun ruck
OUT: Hooker, Fuller & McCarthy
IN: Zanker, McMahon & Gilmore
Option D: Balance on all lines
OUT: Hooker, Svarc & McCarthy
IN: T White, Antonio & P Randall

Whoops... Thankyou!
Like the trades. White seems like a great pick - high CBA attendance. Was considering her as well. Vesely/White should both have good seasons this year (I am trading out Vesely this week but purely for structure reasons).
Forward rookies seem a bit of a write-off but don't mind the Snell pick. Birch looks like a must-have!
Think it's worth getting balance on all lines - other options don't sing out to me. Quite bullish on White personally.

After looking at my team I can go Svarc and Bohanna to Ferguson and O'Sullivan in 2 trades, which seems highly preferable. Leaves me a bit stuck with the third trade though. Have ~10k in the bank after the two trades.
After two trades it looks like:
Defence: Schleicher, Webster, Birch, Ferguson, Reid (Lister)
Mids: Bowers, McDonald, Vesely, G Prespakis, Rowbottom (Kiely)
Rucks: Fuller (Cutting)
Forwards: Hanks, O'Sullivan, Bodey, Harris, Wuetschner (Low)
Utility: E West
Happy to give Harris and Wuetschner another game. I could build a 'war chest' and go Vesely to McMahon, but I also have the cash to go Vesely to White. I like White's tackle numbers a lot more... But this could be fixing an issue that doesn't need fixing.

FWIW I reckon Hooker may underperform across half back and the coaching staff may eventually throw her back in the guts, trade her out now to avoid pain and Svarc can go next week if required.
I also do not think P Randall is a viable trade in, most likely Rd 1 was a one off spike score.
I like McMahon, Gilmore is worth a punt and i also like Eddet from NM as a cheaper forward option.
Zanker, Riddell and TvWhite are all definite yeses for me while Kara Antonio is the opposite.
I would like to hear if others agree or disagree and if there are other options in the forward line being considered.

Injury update: Who's in your club's medical room
RICHMOND ruck recruit Poppy Kelly will miss at least the next few weeks after suffering a "medium-term" knee injury against St Kilda.
She won't be the only Tiger sidelined, with Sophie Molan (leg) and Emelia Yassir (concussion) also out of action with short-term injuries.
Akec Makur Chuot had revealed on her Instagram account she had tested positive to COVID-19, but is expected to be in the mix for selection if her health allows.
Former No.1 pick Ellie McKenzie remains as a "medium-term" proposition with her calf injury.
Coach Ryan Ferguson said the last few weeks had been promising, but there was still some way to go.
Ellie McKenzie at Richmond pre-season training.
"Making some progress in recent times, which is great. Still hard to get a read on exactly when she might be ready," he said.
"We are hopeful that she'll get some good footy this year, but we'll just wait and see."
Geelong has confirmed skipper Meg McDonald suffered cramp in the dying stages of the loss to North Melbourne but the defender, along with forward Chloe Scheer (head knock), has been cleared to play against the Western Bulldogs.
Collingwood skipper Brianna Davey (ACL) was ruled out for the season earlier this week, and in the short-term, Tarni Brown and Bella Smith (both concussion) will join her on the sidelines.
Bella Smith and Tarni Brown ran laps at Collingwood training after being concussed in round one, 2022.
Premiership defender Dayna Cox is the primary injury concern at Adelaide, set to miss another 3-4 weeks after undergoing an arthroscope on her knee.
Fremantle and West Coast will cross the Nullarbor with healthy squads ahead of their stint in Victoria.
The Dockers have lost defender/midfielder Philipa Seth to a 6-8 week syndesmosis injury and Roxy Roux requires more time to build match fitness, while the Eagles are injury-free.
Melbourne has a host of players now available after missing last week due to AFL health and safety protocols: Eliza McNamara, Sinead Goldrick, Lauren Magee and Gabby Colvin.
First-year pair Tahlia Gillard and Maeve Chaplin will sit this week out due to the protocols, while a timeline of 4-6 weeks has been put on recruit Liv Purcell's return from a torn ACL.
There will be at least one change made at Gold Coast, with Claudia Whitfort suffering a concussion. Lucy Single (ankle) is a test, while Jacqui Yorston (ACL) is 2-4 weeks away.
St Kilda is hoping to regain important trio Kate Shierlaw, Nicola Xenos and Molly McDonald, after they missed the round one loss to Richmond due to health and safety protocols.
North Melbourne will welcome back skipper Emma Kearney, but is yet to confirm if Kim Rennie will miss after a head knock in a marking attempt.
As previously reported, Carlton will lose Grace Egan (punctured lung) for 4-6 weeks,
Brisbane will be without Dakota Davidson (foot) for 4-5 weeks and Kate Lutkins (ACL) for the season.
The Western Bulldogs have a host players sidelined through a combination of AFL health and safety protocols and injury, with further clarity on the club's situation expected in the coming days.
Deanna Berry (ACL) and Ellyse Gamble (ankle) are expected back in around three weeks, while Katie Lynch (quad) and Sarah Hartwig (health and safety) are tests for this round.

Early thoughts are giving Svarc and Lewis another week and I’ve got bigger issues.
Gunjaca > Jones
Morrison > McMahon
Brazill > Birch
Don’t love trading Morrison however I have 3 premium mids, and the forward rookies I have look a problem and it gets one of them off field.
Going to continue to persist with the donut strategy, this week playing McMahon over Kiely.

Luxury trade by the look of it. I wouldn’t trade Vesely to McMahon as you may lose points while building the bank.
I would trade Vesely to White if you think it is an upgrade. I probably have them level pegging.
Another option for your final trade is Low ==> another rookie forward if you can find better cover.

Brazill > Ferguson (Not knowing her netball commitments hurt on this one)
Ling > McMahon (Hopefully she can have that high floor with her tackling pressure and spike with scoreboard impact)
Lewis > O'Sullivan (Attended 8 CBA's and hopefully that continues)
On Tarni White, Swanson and Zanker watch for next week. May look at splitting Marinoff into two of those, should they repeat their round one efforts.

Anyone got access to who the other team is please?
