I nominate me, about an hour ago... traded Hall out for Rusling... now I find Rusling's a late withdrawal for Reid! Grr! Oh well, Newton is my backup, so I'll have 22, but still.

Can anyone top that for stupidity? :confused: :( :eek: :rolleyes:

Not me, but the guy I play this week in the GF traded in Bartel last week about an hour before he was announced as having his appendix out. Was his 20th trade he's playing a man short in the centre now.

His saving grace was the guy he played last week didn't know Bartel was out and had him as captain:(.

Lol. I did exactly the same thing but luckily I've got Gibbs as reserve so I still have 22. :eek:

Most of the ones mentioned are unlucky rather than stupid.

My stupidest trade of the year would be Rd 4 - Bowden to Bock. I won't pay so much attention to early season scores next year.

For me it was Rnd 2 Sinclair to X.Clarke. Listened to BF posters too much about Sinclairs changed role.

Lasted about 2 weeks before doing X.Clarke to McPhee but chewed up 2 trades in the process for absolutely no benefit:(.

I've had some clangers this year and nothing comes close to that Monty. :eek:

Besides the fact KP forwards has a pretty shocking record against the Crows, U should never have looked at Rusling. ;)

My Clangers.

Hall(injured, or so i thought with a knee) for SPUD Brennan
Lappin to Hadley after carrying Lappin for 5 weeks. :(
SPUD Brennan back to that SPUD Hall

On 2nd thoughts, maybe i do come close to urs Monty :eek:

I win this thread easily - 1st trade of the year (S. O'Hailpin --> D. Merrett) - this is my first year and am ranked 3000th atm but now i realise how important trades are and especially trades that get crappy players. Also started my team with Prestie, Glass, Richards etc hoping for cash-cows.

Hopefully will win my GF this week and forget about the wasted trades.

well your first trade of the year, getting rid of priddis after round 1, would go close!

lol traded Judd before he was injured for Clint Jones(a rookie but my fave player) man I had the rose coloured glasses on. It didnt cost me too much trouble though.

Trading Walker out of my side for Dustin Fletcher, I got walker back now though he isn't injured.

grrr, was deliberating whether to trade jake king or sam gilbert with my final trade, and lo and behold i trade King and he pulls out a 101, gilbert gives me the grand return of 68. payback for me not keeping Kingy for the entire year i suppose. got scott west tho, gee he better pull a big one t/m, otherwise it'll be 2 GF losses in 2 years:mad:
