What are some trades that has helped/wrecked your team this year?
For example trading in a player a instead of b.
Mine was upgrading Magner to Dal Santo ($481k) instead of Stanton ($639) at the time and Stanton only scored over 100 once while Dal Santo 6 times over 100 and with the money I saved I got to upgrade Hall to Danger!

Bloody heaps bad trades....most involve trading out players that hadnt hit B/E for players that are now not getting a game

Players I traded too early...

Dickson
Gibson...trade him out for Couch...ouch
Jenkins
OStephenson (now stuck with bloody Campbell & Redden as cover) If I kept Orry and had him as emergency this week I wouldnt have lost any league games
Giles when he was losing money...has been killing the pig since...see Orry comments of how it has hurt my side

Not getting Beams into my side all year has cost me dearly...approx 40 points / week average I would think...now Im not sure on getting him as the SC gods would more than likely rest him between now and the end of SC

Stupid game

Porplyzia > Cloke wrecked me. The cheap price sucked me in, I should have splashed out and got Beams in somehow.

Starting with Trav actually derailled my whole season in himdsight.

Porplizia to dangerfield instead of taylor adams just before his amazing run.

Trading Broughton out before price changes for Malceski when Waters was cheap as chips
Some of my wins were getting Pav and Beams in when trading Ablett out early in the year

Trading Fyfe to Harvey instead of Beames when injured - then Trading Zaha to Goodes who has not fired since.

Should have traded rocky to beams last week. Can't do it now, I'm $5000 short since the weekend price changes

batt · August 13, 2012, 10:20:31 PM

My never again/ shouldn't have list:

-Midpriced mids (they're not PODs you idiot, they're spuds.)
-Picking 18 y/os on talent...much better hit rate with mature agers.
-Cutting corners (eg Suckling) to save trades.
-Putting too much faith in unproven scorers.

^^ Starting a 4-1-0-3 midfield was... Dumb.
Had Dangerfield/Sidebottom all pre season, went with Martin/Goodes.
Starting with Mumford. Then trading him to Kreuzer. Errrrr...
Desperately needed a win so was forced to trade Ablett, then he came back the next week.

BUT brought in Beams in round 6 ;D
