What was the trade? Hasnt been great since and lost a lot of cash. Have you looked at a point difference or cash diff between Sloane and option B?Sloane in after the 177, because he was at his cheapest

Should have held them longer, didn't really need to trade, rushed
A good lesson.
I did a bit of the same this year, but more from the point of view of speeding up cash generation, due to rubbish rookies early. Had to turn them over faster for same return as normal year.
WHE to Wallis. **** all benefit.

Got rid of JJK, Fyfe and Barrett for Greenwood, Dusty and Sloane
So 2/3 of the way there, would have been so much better getting Titch or Zerrett over Sloane though :/
Say you would still be in front on those trades but a Tmitch or Zerrett would have you miles ahead.
This only gets worse with Dahl stinking it up. I made a comment a few weeks back suggesting that Dahl might struggle to be top 6 fwds by end of season. Tonight shows why.

I did trade him to Tuohy... and then traded Tuohy to Bont 2 weeks later so that was kinda dumb...
Ended up being in front as I downgraded Tuohy to Newman but yeh. Few wasted trades.

Prioritizing Ryder over Dusty in rd 10 (too much focus on B/E). Ryder not terrible, but Dusty has been on fire.
Bringing in Jelwood. Not his fault, but the headknock ****ed me in league games, then he missed last week and every man and his dog will grab him for loose change soon, negating any low ownership advantage on the run home I might have had. Complete disaster, irredeemable.

Great thread. Only issue is that it says "If I could get A trade back". I have a lot more than just one.
1. Billings to Higgins in round 2. Billings starts with two stinkers so traded him out before his price dropped. From memory Higgins played round 3 and then missed a week. Billings has been pretty much the best forward in the game the last six weeks.
2. Trading in swallow for O'meara. Swallow hasn't been terrible, and I still have him on the pine, but should have gone a rookie instead and used the cash elsewhere.
3. Trading out Newman at $260k when he wasn't getting a game. Pretty sure I wasn't the only one though.
4. Traded in Rockliff, put the VC on him, he scored 148 and a minute before the end of the game he did his shoulder. Rocky out again the next week
These next three really hurt.
5. Traded in Zac Williams for a 60, a 49 and two weeks on the sideline.
6. Traded in Jelwood for a 74, a 2 and a week on the sideline. (was a choice between him and Dusty)
7. Got Bont because, well, everyone has him anyway. Thought he would come good. Nope. (Was a choice between him and Whitfield).
Numbers 5 and 6 above are what have really killed my season. Those two trades alone have probably cost me 500 points compared to other options I had at the time, and the main reason why I've dropped from 46th two weeks ago to just inside the top 300 now.
Feels very therapeutic to get that off my chest..

Easy - round 13 picked Gaz over Doch for a final upgrade thinking a bit of a pod would be good. Numbers stacked up on averages and $ and at that point gaz had only missed the one china game. Cost me hundreds of points...
And traded hannan in - then tight it was a mistake so then traded him out the round he got his first big score.
And scooter - cost me trading out spp - should have held.
The last goes on, not to mention the 50 50 choices before round 1 - think i lost in all of those!

Considering your position for most this season you are right in that by removing 2-3 of these mistakes would have kept you close to the pointy end and in line for the prize.
Thanks for sharing.
I think the before rd 1 50/50 choices is another thread altogeather!

Forgetting to trade Sandi to Kreuzer when he was cheap. Avg 135+ since I missed it and Sandi gave me 12.
I seriosuly considered driving my car off a bridge.
I regret Tuohy. He's given me nothing and is a really junk player. I have Shaw on the bench so that's saying something.

Getting rid of Newman at $250k after he got dropped is my biggest regret. Got in a bottomed-out Kade Simpson for him and he's only averaged 2 points more per year than Hello Newman.
Traded out Taranto ($250k) for Aaron Black ($137k) in Round 6 only to turf Black four rounds later for a measly 60k profit. Waste of two trades.
My rookie picks in general have been pretty ordinary. Jumping on guys like Fox and Cousins for their tasty $102k prices only for them to not get games and barely rise.
