Are people being fairly aggressive with trades this season? I would really love 3 trades this week.
Cannot decide whether to play safe and use one the trades on a back up Ruck eg. Cameron
Or just go ahead with original plans to trade out Greene and Houston. I think Greene has to go but unsure what to do with Houston.
Might just go Greene to Cameron for a week but would mean having King, Sturt & Cameron on field with no back ups

Their BEs are -53 and -26, so the above is possible, but seems to rely on Cameron outscoring Sturt by a fair bit (which didn’t happen in their first game - albeit a sample of one).
It wouldn’t surprise me if Grundy smashes out a big score with little support from Cameron, but obviously if Grundy did go down, it would be a huge plus for Cameron’s scoring. I assume everyone would then be looking to trade him in.
It’s possible both rookies beat what they will realistically average in their first game, so I’m inclined to take the one with the better BE and possibly better JS.

1. Williamson - is in Carlton's best 22, and with Newman not around, has fairly strong job security. He is however extremely injury prone, and could go down at any stage. His game in theory would translate to decent scoring - run and carry, decent user of the ball and can take a few marks. His scoring history to date isn't overly impressive, so you are picking on style of play / trust. I am strongly considering him, as don't believe he has had a decent crack at it since his first season and he has potential to knock out a big score if a Docherty type is shut down!
Risks: Defensive lock down role and injuries.
2. Pickett - think he will be best 22. Will play that defensive forward role and likely knock out scores from 30-60. If he can sneak a 3 goal game with 5 tackles at the right time, might get you a handy 80-100 score to maximise cow potential.
3. Hamill appears destined for the lock down defender role, and I haven't seen much scoring potential just yet. I don't trust Adelaide at all! They may well go kids and guarantee him some time, they could also go more mature bodies and try and stop the bleeding?
