I had two good trades this year had most of my luck picking a good starting side but had alot shockers.
Bad
1. Wines to Daisy ( had him for 1 week)
2. Daisy to Birchall ( had like 30 then didnt play and the out for 5+)
3. Jones to M.Murphy ( had him for three ave games)
4. Leuenberger to Nic Nat ( we were told he would be out for 4 but ended up being one yay)
5. Birchall to scotland ( didnt want to do it but did)
Good
1. Terlich to Selwood
2. O'Meara to Swan
Both got at there lowest price.
Looking at this not sure how im where im at.

My Worst is actually a two week 4 trade combo:

Round 9, as some may recall, Thurlow and Webster were both available down back as down grade/cash cow options and there were a few premiums at a discount, can't remember all of them but Watson and Shaw were the two I was thinking about, maybe Priddis at that time but not sure.

Round 9: Out: Stevenson and Heath from Port (Not unhappy with this they were both ready to go)
In: Thurlow and Webster (Ouch!)

Round 10:
Out: Evans (Melb, Mid) and Brown (Adel, Bac) (Not unhappy)
In: Watson (Ess, Mid) and Hawkins (Gee, Fwd via Staker DPP) (Was sitting just outside the top 1000 before I lost my mind, Watson I can live with but Hawkins...)

Watson proceeded to score 166 in Round 9 and go up $40K after which he scored two 70's 130, 127 and 54 before I traded him out following injury for $80,000 less than I paid.

Hawkins had GC and GWS before the bye and was supposed to provide a couple of good scores, earn some cash and assist my bye structure. He scored 71 and 48, made $5,000 and then got traded.

Webster and Thurlow turned out to be average Cash Cows as Thurlow got dropped and Webster became a SuperSub!

Second Worst was trading in Duffield and Birchall in Round 13, no need to explain what happened to either of them after that!

Best: The pre-planned Moloney to Ablett Round 5 trade was pretty handy. Harry Taylor coming in in round 6 was good and getting on Tom Mitchell in Round 11 worked out.

All in all a pretty terrible year of trading and I am going to finish just outside the top 2000 in what has been my first year of chasing the overall score instead of league wins. Plenty of room for improvement.

One thing I learnt this year in trading is "don't hang on to an injured player too long"
Dixon - brought him in and next week he got injured and was out for 6-7 weeks I think
Pittard - kept hoping each week he would return (I think I waited 5 weeks)

Also, Round 20 - OUT Mitchell ($417,100), IN Deledio ($434,000) has been good so far. (Lids got 118 last Round, and 143 this Round - Can't complain at those Scores with this Price).

Thanks bud.

I know right! Definitely happy with my decision to use a Limited Trade there - Well worth it! Especially since Tom Mitchell is now out, it would've been hard to find a good replacement around the same Price.
