So we’re 5 rounds in – who’s been your best and worst trades so far this year? I’m not talking about blokes you had at the start of the season.

Jury is still out on my worst – it could be J Brown but at the same time I can’t tell you how happy I was to get Tippett out of the side.

Would have to give the best title to Pav who has scored 139 and 112 since I brought him in and has gone up almost $29k.

Thax Motts,

Best Trade so far has been Ball — Coons, couldn’t stand having Ball in my side after he’s weak efforts.

Worst Trade ( Thus Far ) has got to be BBBBH — Brennan, watching Bazza kick a bag last week was bitter sweet to me and then Brennan woeful performance was the icing on the cake.

Best trade would has to go to either ball for rischetelli or Tippett to sandilands. My heart is now full with content.

Worst trades have been Hall to the dud dangerfield and another woeful mistake of mine was trading Mitchel to James mcdonald after his 130 game, he then scores 50- I know, I’m a fool.

Worst trade- Boomer out for some player i cant even remember.Just shake my head as Boomer keeps topping 100 every week.Only saving grace is I know I’m not on my Pat Malone.

How about a thread on coaches’ best non-trade? After BBBH’s opening two scores of 60 and 43, those who stuck by him would be rapt with his subsequent scores of 132, 72 and 119.

My stuff up so far has been Jolly out for Seaby. Jolly might now be a keeper as a second ruck – he’s looking a lot better and has stopped giving away silly free kicks in ruck contests.

Fair enough, I’m just pissed cos I had the choice between BBBBH and Murphs.

Best : Shuey to GAJ.
Not great : Riewoldt to Peterson which gave me the money to get GAJ in. Pods/Rock would have been much better choices.

Only made two trades both after Roo’s injury in Rnd 3.
1) OUT: Roo, IN: J Brown .. thinking i should’ve gone Pav now but long term i’m thinking that J Brown will be good enough
2) OUT: M Brown, IN: Malceski .. glad i pulled this change. M Brown’s consistent but a consistent 70ish whilst i got in before Malceski went from mid priced to expensive.

I have made 4 trades!

OUT Tippett ($425,900) IN Brown ($525,400)
OUT Farmer ($159,500) IN Silvagni ($83,400)

OUT Pendlebury ($563,100) IN Ablett ($727,700)
OUT Riewoldt ($595,700) IN Rioli ($417,700)

Starting to think bringing in Rioli was a massive mistake :(
already thinking I might trade him out – think his pubis ostiobis el gayiss is still playing up and restricting him alot

wow, i’ve still only made one trade (riewoldt for brown), though i do still own tippett, dangerfield and ball…..

tippett should have gone, but if adelaide start winning, he will score ok i think. ball and dangerfield look like they will get the axe this week for judd and davis. i think.

tippett could be on the move for sandilands next week, but i’m not sure i’ll be able to summon up the cash for that one, unless someone like hunt has a good week and increases a lot.

you’ve only used 1 trade but now you’re stck with 3 dudds. Earlier in the season, tippett for sandi would’ve only cost you $100k – now it’ll cost you $300k!!

Worst: BBBB Hall for J Brown after round 2. Should have ditched Medhurst instead of Hall.
Best: Chapman in Ziebell out.

best trade would have been presti for malceski after round 2.

wasted trade was probably trengove to barlow after 2 rounds but worst would probably be rioli for riewoldt would of rathered brennan even though bad performance on the weekend.

IN Seaby OUT Tippett.
IN Ballantyne OUT Hall.

IN ROK OUT Voldt.

IN Chapman OUT Ballantyne.
IN Rockliffe OUT T. Walker.

Best:
Tippett out, Kreuzer in.
Worst:
Ziebell out Rockliff, In
It was out of Ziebell or Dangerfield to get Tom Rockliff, should’ve gone Dangerfield.

My worst trade has to be Rioli. Picked him up the thursday night after selection only to read the next day that he was injured. Two low scores since I picked him up has me contemplating benching him for either Rocky or Pods.
My best trade would have to be Grundy. I traded him in and he after a poor first week he lit it up last week and I hope he’ll continue on the same path. Funnily enough, I traded for these two in the same deal, dealing out Roo and Medhurst.
I am also very happy with the Jamar trade simply b/c he is not Kurt Tippett ( :

This week’s trades for me:

IN Sylvia OUT Ball
IN O’Keefe OUT Selwood

Had $130k spare and wanted to use it. Hopefully my midfield is now all 100+ scorers consistently, although I doubt Trengove can do that. But Ablett, Dal Santo, O’Keefe, Sylvia, Trengove,
