Interesting to read the worst trade thread, i'd like to start a similar one- biggest letdown. Most of my trades have been good so i guess you coul call this my worst non trade or biggest letdown. Nominations are

1. Russell Robertson.

that is all. Very disappointing, injury or no injury.
 
Mine would be Brent Stanton. He will be good, but I thought this was his year. I picked him in all my teams, but he aint in any of them anymore
 
Jordan McMahon, had him since the start of the year and came out of the blocks firing. Really thought he'd be a Dream Team gun but since round 4 he's been scoring like 70's, 70's, 50's every 3 weeks. Dropped 60k.

If a player has been a letdown, presumably you'd trade him early when the signs aren't looking good?

I suppose the players that have dropped the most in value compared with 2005 (other than due to injury) would be the biggest let-downs. Not sure who they are? Maybe guys like Tuck, Ablett, Everitt?

I thought Aaron Sandilands would be better in 2006 than he has been, and Ryan Griffin hasn't really come on this year.
 
Haven't had them myself, but apart from thier scores last week Mark and Jason Johnson have been below par. Would be a good pickup if they went back to their normal scoring.
 
Too many to mention, but a lot of 3rd year players I thought would take off this year. I was very wrong. After his first game, Hurn would be my most disappointing rookie. he scored 2 or 3 on his third game. :rolleyes:
 
Even though hes been consistent, probably chris newman. Really thought he'd kick on. I also had daniel merrett, who was disappointing and i had to drop him for bate. I had Aker from the start of the year but hes come good so its ok :)

Everitt, McPhee, Robertson, Stanton and Gilbee - thought all of these blokes would avg 100 and some of them are struggling to get 50s.
 
Daniel Wells. Every freaking year I pick him thinking "Yep, he's going to meet his potential and become a full blown star", and then he just does nothing, often going missing for like 80% of the game. Yes I know he's only 21, isn't a possession player and the Roos are having an ordinary season, but still a major let down. I got rid of him after round 4.

Mcphee killed me earlier in the year!!! Got rid of him as soon as i could.

Ryan Griffen has some below 50 scores, traded him.

Will Minson

Wayde Skipper

All of these guys hurt me greatly!

biggest let down for me was losing to some guy who obviously made his team 3 rounds into the year what a joke!

I reckon when the "random" leagues are created, they should be created with teams that were created at around the same time....that will stop that problem.
 
L Hodge and McPhee, and I haven't traded either of them. Losing $200k on Hodge would hurt my pride too much (this is SuperCoach not AFL DreamTeam).

I picked Cam Faulkner because I thought he'd have a breakout year, but was very wrong since he is yet to play a game.
 
Mooney and Hille
