If you don't think you'll need any rookie corrections perhaps

Playing forward will stop him getting cheap ball in the backline. Can we be absolutely certain that he plays as a full time mid ??

If Ebert stays forward then yes
Gotta remember Wingard was in the side last year too and had significant midfield minutes in the back half of the season
Back then in the back half of the year
Wines
Rockliff
SPP
Wingard
Ebert
Were the main rotation with Boak and Gray playing mainly forward but chopping out whoever when needed
Now
Rockliff
Boak
Drew
SPP
Gray seems to mix it up
Ebert is forward
Only Wines to come back to the midfield mix. If it's similar midfield rotations to last year then Drew will have replaced Wingard while Boak and Ebert have switched roles

I really can't see him playing fwd, in fact I see him going to the backline more often. This was one of the main things I saw in JLT2, he spent a lot of time in the backline just to control a bit of possession. Again in round 1 he went back at the back end of quarters. I think we have just enough data there now.
It's a good role for him that Port obviously likes, he can utilise his accurate short passes to get the ball moving from defence. Port would have to be mad to change Rocky's role now considering how well he has played the last 2 games

Multiple port players said on the weekend that their game plan this year is a bold play on at all cost/attacking strategy.. That is not good for someone like Rockliff.
Anyways, I believe Rockliff is a keeper this year. He's under priced and I'm backing him in to perform. I wouldn't have selected him otherwise.
But if you did a preseason of research on your lineup you obviously had doubts on him (and rightfully too, he's injury prone and coming off a couple of average years with a questionable role. He was a risky selection) and you selected what ever other mid you have for a reason.. Is one game enough sample size to make that trade when price changes don't happen until after round 3?

Just for reference this is Rockliff last season. Round number in the middle column and score on the right.
He started the season with 3 poor games then got injured. He then came back in round 8 and killed it looking great with a good role. Many (including myself) traded him in after that round and then had to endure that roller-coaster. Hence why I'm offering advice on the situation.

All this Rocky fever is giving me the jim-jams. Strongly considering Mundy -> DEF rook via Burgess (could be the only useful thing he does all season!) and then MID rook -> Rocky. Just think that $600K would be much better invested in Rocky than Mundy although it will cost two precious trades to perform that restructure across lines.
That would also mean that I would field one extra rookie in the forward line with Parker next in line to take that responsibility. But it sure would be sweet to put the VC on the Rocktsa this weekend hmmmmmm.

No trades this week
Looking at maybe Dunkley to Boak next week after another hitout and possibly Gibbons to cousins.
Maybe a ruck cashgrab if Gawn struggles again.
Rookies went well apart from Burgess who I have forward. Normally early I’m trying to fix the rooks up which makes the above scenario not feel as stupid.

None,
My only glaring underperformer was Gawn (who I put the C on what the **** was I thinking), I'm sitting in the 900's so it feels ok, think my captains pick was the thing that really let me down tbh
Grundy and Gawn (and Greene) should pull their fingers out, I'm looking longingly at Westhoff and a replacement for Gawn if he's tagged to shit every week ala prelim of last year and ports game this year. Greene is so reasonably priced though so he's probably fine for a few middling (60-80) scores yet
Noah Balter on the bench is a worry, but we'll see how he goes. One dud rookie out of the 8-10 I have is pretty good compared to other years

Polec spent a bit of time in the midfield as well.
Im think along the same lines.. does this sound silly ?
Gawn > Hoff
Burgess > Powell
Next week
Yeo or Beams > Pig
Gibbons > Cousins
Then no trades for a while unless i have to.
This is the big decision for me this week, too.
I held onto a few underperforming premos too long last season and Zach was one of them. Definitely makes me want to trade him.
But then again, holding trades saw me come home strong in the second half of the season, so I dunno what to do.

Zerrett usually dominates against the bombers...would average 120+ last 5 games against them.

Yeo
I wouldn't trade Yeo, only had 1 tackle last week. Watch him bounce back this week. Beams looked pretty slow to me last week and with Adams back this week, he should probably be in the gun of those two.

And he destroyed the bombers last week as well. Get on him.
As much as many say "no trades after round 1" I don't see 4 corrective trades after round 2 as a terrible thing. Hopefully you may not need any further trades for a few weeks thereafter.

Are you playing the competition or more within your league. I like to weigh up players ownership in my league when making trade decisions. Eg if everyone has him then everyone is going suffer together e.g Gawn and Grundy, if only you have Zerret then could make or break

It's only round 1 Brad. Surely it's not getting all too much for you already ??

If you're willing to give up on him after one round, Dunkley to Drew and Gibbons to Rocky. Probably means hoping that Worpel becomes a keeper.I want to jump aboard the rocky train but I have no idea how and its frustrating me !
