The main objective to succeed in this game, IMO is that you have enough depth to cover any short term injuries to your main playmakers. Your emergencies have a two fold effect…
1. They cover your stars if injury is short term, therefore you don't need to even contemplate a trade. If long term, you are left with no choice.
2. They make you heaps of ca$h. It isn't easy to nail all your 8 emergencies, by that I mean to have had them all play within the first 1 or 2 weeks. My strength this year was that 7 of them all played from the get go. O' Hailpin was the only disappointment. Don't worry, there were several in my starting line up that proved to be useless.
With 20 trades at your disposal, the game allows you to bring in up to 8 guns throughout the year, if you can manage your emergencies efficiently. Add them to your current team & you can have a lethal cocktail. As soon as you start trading off guns with short term injuries or even players who at the start had 2 bad games, you begin to limit your possibilities. I made that error last year.
8 trades for guns, 6 trades for long term injured players (Lloyd, Sandilands etc) & 6 additional cash cows is the balance & trade distribution I am deploying this year. It may fail, but I am prepared to embrace that failure. Having said that, a lot of posters talk about having a sempiternal supply of trades, I disagree, the limit should be 14, with the additional rule change of 4 emergencies…
There is also an element of luck involved to achieve the above. You win some & you lose some…
Yes, it will make the game a lot more challenging, but that is what life is about, challenge...
Agree or disagree? Maybe I am way off the mark...
PS - Bought in L Fisher this week...
Good post mate, definitely agree, that's something I have learnt this year, if a normal gun player is having a few bad weeks, hang onto them, they will come good eventually. Everitt is sort of an example of this, even though he is not back to his scores of last year, he is doing somewhat better. Also Brennan was dropped for one week, luckily I held onto him and he has come back better than ever. I was trying to hold onto Sandilands, as I had other areas of my team I wanted to upgrade and felt my rucks were fairly strong, but with Mitch Clark missing again my hand was forced.
Waiting is the key too, players have bad games every so often, in the last three weeks I've picked up Brad Johnson, Embley and Milburn, all below cheap for their normal form.
I am already doing heaps better than last year and believe that is due to not wasting trades on guns to cheapies that are scoring well.

Coloured his hair. Or maybe he's a bit too slow for Subiaco Oval against the hard-running WCE.
Dunn is in my starting 22 this week. Gibson is my emergency.
