So, I have reversed my trades from earlier in the week - Walsh and Mitchell in for Touk and McKenna (need to keep McKenna with so many players being managed, etc.

With a full list on the field (Laird included), I have only one player listed as playing on the bench - JvR. I feel like I am approaching Rd 17 with no trades left, not Rd 7 with 22. I really don't know what to do.

Cowan - not made enough $
Wagner - why did I bring him into the side before he even had the opportunity to make $$ - Has to stay now, and hope he is the sub?
Touk - will be gone
Roberts - has to stay :mad:
Constable - same as everyone!
Moyle - why did I pick him - rookie mistake
Magor - was used to get Sheezel's score in Rd 1 - can't get rid of him now

6 rookies on field, plus Sheezel, and Laird...

So now I have no emergencies without wasting more trades and hope that these players come back. This game sucks! Why did I come back and play after giving it up all those years ago.

You're not alone, the my cupboard is bare too.

Rapid decline since his late out in Rd3.
Just wonder if the current injury is a culmination of an ongoing issue?

Yep think he will actually be a really good trade in target when he gets over whatever his issue is at the moment. Has lacked his explosiveness from the first two rounds. Will be keeping a close eye.

I’m a bit late to discuss this, but feeling like McKenna is due a spike score this week with no Joyce in the team.

Once Payne and Joyce were in the team, it seemed McKenna’s role of being loose lessened somewhat. I don’t know if Joyce found it difficult to run with his opponent, but it seemed like McKenna had to stick in the back 50 a lot more.

Last week however, I did notice McKenna was allowed to play a little bit further up and I wonder if they dropped Joyce for Lester in order to give McKenna that less accountable role in defence.

I had just altered my trade plans prior to reading this to allow for keeping McKenna instead of trading him this week so I hope you’re right!
