Really? What farm? We've overpaid for Fev, sure, but we got Staker etc as good as free. What farm do you think we mortgaged? Is Dalziell a farm? We swapped him for Staker, and won that bet handsomely. The others, we paid nothing for. Are you sure you have your facts straight?
Staker vs Dalziell is the only trade you won out of 5.
History says you went from 6th to 13th. Which can partially be explained by the disruption to the playing group of meshing these new players and losing Henderson, Bradshaw, MacDonald and Dalziell.
