Today’s poll is partially inspired by T.T. asking about keepers and the rest followed as reasonable questions that relate to this.
As mentioned previously, those questions that pose a choice of players are more easily analysed in a thumbs up/down poll in Trade Talk, so I have left them to be dealt with in that format.
The first part of the poll deals with our full premo sides and, and how many we still need to fill our bags.
Loading ... Loading ...This next part of the question necessarily does NOT include those starting speculatives or rookies (eg Fisher, Sexton, McKercher, Reid types), as they were not selected initially as keepers.
Loading ...Now we look at line by line Premos who have stayed in your team.
Loading ... Loading ... Loading ... Loading ...What about the number of rookies started who still remain today for whatever reason.
Loading ...This one’s little bit about team flexibility.
Loading ...Next we want to look at any trends in sideways trading, rage trading, form or injury trades and the total numbers around this.
Loading ... Loading ... Loading ... Loading ...I think this selection of poll questions has the most potential for discussion and reasoning for a while, so I encourage you to put some substance into the comments section to give us all a better understanding of the why’s and not just the statistics.
Thanks again for your input and participation, much appreciated.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this plays out, my analytical mind is formulating something in the background about which type of premo’s are best to select at the start and which to wait for.
Also, why you should always start Bont!
Very interesting read and guaging of other players strategy’s. Not to nit-pick but you’re missing the none option in the traded back in after trading out question, only noticed cause I haven’t actually traded anyone back in… yet
Good point Emma, not nit picking at all, genuine option.
I’ve traded Fisher, McKercher and Salem out and back in, and if Fisher is an out this week, McKercher is an option for his third run in the team. Pretty sad!!
Some of our decisions may also be prompted by whether we need to focus on league or overall positions that round.
I find it more refreshing with the opportunity of SCTTL and it’s different format to help ease the pain, agony, etc.
Agree entirely with the SCTTL, I take more risks with it as I find it more freeing starting from the same spot as everyone else. If anyone else out there isn’t involved I highly recommend you give it a crack.
I’m curious how many of the premos being traded out were due to form versus injury.
Good point Daniel Z. Considering 88% of coaches have traded two or more premos to this point, it could be pertinent to know why.
I’ll try and engineer it into next week’s poll if possible, with options of:
1. Poor form, and not wanting to miss someone hot.
2. Long term injury or suspension
3. Team structure for the byes
4. Other reason (comment if any others)
