Who have been your real bonus buys or starting options of the year.

[Ringo]

We have a lot of negative threads on who never to pick, worst trades etc how about a positive and name good decisions this year.

I have 3
Hanley from day 1 increased in value and having a break out year increased $55k in value not bad for a defender.
Most of us can relate to this one bringing in Zorko when he was on the bubble.
Keeping both Ablett and Pendlebury during their injury spells.

Cash Cows: Zorko, Giles, Magner, Horsely, Bugg, Adams
Mid Rangers: Dempsey (Got at $250k odd), Lake (had all season)
Premos: Sidey, Danger (From the start - weren't really considered premium at that stage)

[Jimmy10]

Pavlich, Waters, Zorko

[Simes72]

Starting with Deledio, Watson, Sidebottom, Danger and Porplyzia. Bringing in Beams pretty early on.

[KoopKicka]

1. Starting with Brad Ebert 8)
2.  Getting Priddis at a bargain price of 370k after his injury
3. Getting Yarran as bench cover just before he busted out some form.

[bomberboy0618]

Starting both Sidey and Danger.

[Diesels Pups]

Bringing in Zorko as soon as we named. Had confidence in that fella. Having faith in pavlich when most said his SC days were numbered. Sidebum at the start. Decision to hold off on Pendles at the start and to bring him in at his cheapest this week.

[twinkle]

Starting with Nic Nat
Trading Giles to Jacobs the week Giles peaked (and before Jacobs big scores) - was almost a straight swap
Picking up Zorko on the bubble
Getting rid of Broughton early (initally regretted but now stoked!)
Starting Lake
Picking up Priddis when he bottomed for cheap

[ScottieD]

From start:

- Watson, Ablett, Deledio, Lake, Clarke, Franklin, Dangerfield
- B. Ebert from start (344k - 500k) and then 'downgrading' to Priddis in week 13 prior to Ebert's bye round and after Priddis' bye.  Also at his rock bottom price (464k, now 601k).
- L. Hayes (430ish - 500k) and then 'downgraded' to Thompson at rock bottom 554k in week 13 prior to Hayes bye round and after Thompson's bye.
- Ellis, Bugg, Green, Magner, Shiel, Giles, Stephenson, Redden, Smith, Kennedy

Mid season:

- Priddis/Thompson as mentioned Round 13
- Pavlich at 487k Round 6, Enright 477k Round 11, Dempsey 273k Round 3 (for Broughton initially regretted)
- Zorko, Treleor, McDonald, S. Shaw, Horsley

[penskifile]

Watson and Pav as premos. Picking up Enright at his cheapest, he has been in good form ever since.

[lockwood]

Had Nic Nat and Sloane from the start were my best 2

[Jroo]

Started the year with Lake, Hanley, Sidebottom and Sloane  8)

[NoButYeah]

Hanley. Apart from the odd brain numbingly bad scores, has been pretty good.

[Wbdfan]

one name has to b enough................. ZORKO!!
has had only one bad week prob when he was a sub, besides that 100 across the board
best pick up of the year-possible rookie hall of fame with barlow if he continues form into gf

[CFC 1979]

the hell we have had with the rucks this year i would say big Cox
