Strategy Round 5: Trades

It's interesting this has been mentioned. At times on the weekend he looked to be lacking impetus to his game ... you do sometimes see that from absolute stars (they can't run hard all game) but I wasn't sure if it was warranted from his prior efforts (maybe not 
) or just the way that he plays, more of a laconic kind of style.
I actually hadn't really considered he may be carrying an injury, but for someone who has played over 100 games straight I'm not sure that should be a huge surprise. I think one of the things you have to be able to do to play that many games, is to play through injuries. Maybe he's lacking motivation and/or fitness right now.
Does anyone who knows his play better have a view?

That's a great start, well done.
B for me amongst the options listed. If you are reasonably comfortable with Stack's JS, this seems a pretty standard trade.
I would also consider whether you want Rocky or whether you're comfortable not having him.
If you do want him, I'd consider Worpel as one avenue unless you're sold that he is a good keeper. Alternately DPP could allow you to bring Rocky in for a def, albeit most of your defs look to be coming along nicely.

R O'Brien is not your typical 'Rookie' Ruck in the traditional sense as he's been in the system now for 4 years and has been ready and waiting in the wings for the past 2. Made his debut towards the end of the 2016 season, so he's AFL ready.
The only question now is the status on Jacobs' injury. Is it a short term (another 1 or 2 weeks) or an LTI...? If it turns out to be an LTI (not wishing this upon Jacobs in anyway), then O'Brien could be one of the better Rookie for 2019.

Hi all! Hope all of you are well!
Can you please offer some trade advice to my team below? I'm going around in circles and can't decide on anything
I'm thinking some of the following scenarios:
1. Sheed --> Z.Marrett and C.Jones --> Stack
2. Butters --> Z.Marrett and C.Jones --> Stack
3. Parker --> Marshall and C.Jones --> Stack
I can't afford a situation where I get both Marrett and Marshall.
On top of this I think Setterfield is suspended and Parker is injured??! Balta has been pretty bad so far. I got no solid forward point scoring options. At the same time I don't want to miss out on Merrett lol
What to do?!?!
Thanks!!

Based on the information at hand, I'm taking the plunge as the potential upside is better than any other Rookies on offer. The risk is no different with taking any other Rookies based off 2 games, however, with O'Brien we know that he can hold his own as their 1st Ruck and Jacobs 'slight' knee knock has now turned into 3 weeks. Only need O'Brien to play another 2/3 games to make it worthwhile as unlike our current FWD Rookies crop, his floor seems to be 70 so will appreciate quite quickly off the back of that.
