    This may come back to haunt me in weeks to come, but....
    Jolly OUT, Bellchambers IN - theory behind this is to get $$$ in the bank, and cash in on the Bomber ruckmen in a few weeks time when he plateaus....
    Then, it will be a premium ruckman back IN....
    Will be curious to see how this plan works out by around Round 7-10.

    I was about to nominate 'Dr DreamTeam' for these trades as well.

    I really hope injuries screw him over towards the end of the season.

    Got a mate in my mates league and played him 1st up. Smashed him by 500 odd and he said he skipped his homework and it showed. I ragged him about no Swan and a handfull of midpricers and he went out on the Tuesday and sacked R Shaw (Who he should never have had) for Peterson (Chasing last weeks points) and Foley For Swan. Then this week he sacks Peterson for Toy so he shot 2 Trades for 0 lol. Know he picked up Swan but I lmao.

    I traded out Foley and Kennedy(Sydney) before they hit there purple patches. I lose faith in players at the start of the season too easily.

    I traded Foley out 2 weeks ago, since he has scoed 110 & 140......

    Worst trading I have ever heard of was a mate who last had K.Tippett from the start. Traded him out, traded him back in, then traded him out again. Funniest thing I've ever heard !!!

    @Dun1
    Your post made me chuckle.

    I had tippet at the start of 2010 (riccuitio or soem other retired crow picked him as one of the top 10 players in the afl) and dumped him for rockliff but avoid him like the plague when he struck form for a few games mid season.

    Upon reflection he underperformed so badly he deserved to be dumped twice!!

    Foley out looks to be one that burns for sure.

    The Selwood-Hayes one was bad luck but pretty funny and is still probably one of the classics of the season.

    Well as i said elsewhere im officially nominating my Nathan Foley to Libba trade. Did it as a cash injection and quick money making trade but since i did the trade:

    Foley: 110 & 140 = 250 points
    Libba: 84 & 74 = 158 points and only made &#36;84K from him... oh and he has been dropped now....

    At VanderHaar - YOU....POOR.....BASTARD ! Bad luck mate. Im paranoid with every trade. I re-read the players names about 5 times and hold my breath and hit the confirm trade button.
