So, round two lockout is fast approaching, and its a strange feeling not knowing what the teams are yet!

Normally I know by know what my trades/team is going to be, Ive just got my ear out for any last minute changes.

But a Thursday lockout, with a Saturday game really throws a spanner in the works.

So what are we thinking?

Gray - Its an unfortunate situation, but I think youve got to hold onto him. At least until you have better information into who youre trading into.
Rockliff - As above. Any sideways trades of Rockliff this week are bound to end in peril. Hold him for an extra week.
Ablett - Hes the giant elephant in the corner that no-one wants to talk about. "injured" already, but a Monday game should see him play. Though it *is* Ablett and he *is* a superstar, so Im sure hell be right.

As for making trades, Im about 80% of the way through a might post on trading, but arent going to get it up by tonight, so Ill leave you with this key snippet.

Trades exist to make you points. A good trade will make you 300+ points for the year. Which in round 1 is a 15 ppg increase.

Do you honestly believe that any sideways trade you make now will turn a 15 ppg increase? If so, I would love to talk about it in the comments!

If not however, then steer clean of trading this week.

What are the other concerns that are out there?
