Those trades of Ablett to Mitchell and Reiwoldt to Steve Johnson are laughable
Yes, Stevie J is awesome but why get rid of Roo

[antman]

bj i went into the season with a plan to get rid of the two biggest dissappointing premiums after the first 2 rounds to get the best surprising mid priced then use left over money to upgrade my mids but im pissed of i got rid of roo but i also got rid of hodge which was a good move imo.
