Adam goodes for me. had him most of the year last year. lost 200+ K on him ended up trading him out because he was playing forward all year. 8 rounds he was scoring massive. Vowed never to have him in my side again.
For me it has been Chapman who caught me out a few seasons ago with his hamstrings and being rested. Although Higgins is far more inconsistent but he also costs a lot less because he plays so few games.
Ryder. Had him for the second part of the season last year and I've never seen a lazier footballer - work rate = zero, especially when the going gets a bit tough. Tried to warn people off him at the start of this year but I think plenty have been burnt. Never again.
Agree with Higgins, Tippett, Dangerfield and Gray. Would also add Bob Murphy and don't go near Taylor Walker at GWS next year. FWIW some of these were last year's but I've watched their lack of progress with keen interest. What is it with Adel players? Maybe that's why Thompson is so good. No one takes points from him on a regular basis.
K.Tippett/Mitch Clark (the dynamic duo that cost me trades and huge dollars in the ruck during my rookie year in SC!) Gilbee as well - I shared your pain last year, Jibba
missy higgins but i said that last yr and still did it. never say never . silacious - goodes has been my 1st pick every yr
Nice to know I'm not on my own getting burnt by Higgins & Ryder. This year Burgoyne is testing my patience.
For me I'd have to be screwed by a guy at least twice to put the line through him forever. this is only my third year playing but like so many other higgins has done me over again along with 2009. fooled by that magnificent preseason. jack grimes is the another who's had 2 chances in my team and is too injury prone and i dont think id ever pick him again either.
Higgins and Grimes for me. Had premiums burn me with poor form but nothing worse than having someone keeps getting injured. You wait for them to come back then they spud it up a treat so they are worthless and not even worth trading out. 2011 Policy if your injured for a lenght of time you better have been cutting the mustard before then if your any chance to hang around.
Missy Higgins - picked him last year and vowed never again... luckily, didn't listen to the hype this season and have avoided a massive headache. Also, I'd like to add in Leon Davis and Eddie Betts because they are way too hot and cold. Lastly, Andrew Carrazzo because he cost me my league GF last year.
