I'm not completely convinced it was the right call, but I traded Shiel for Green. I was happy to wait while Shiel got into the season, but I decided Green was too good a cow to resist. *Fingers crossed*

I have Shiel, Magner and McDonald and I haven't even contemplated trading in Greene. Happy to see people jump off Shiel though
I've broken a golden DT rule and traded one of my premiums (Gibbs) to him to free up cash to fix the other gaping holes in my team (last week started Callinan, Cripps, Hunt and Golby!)... is not so much more of a reaction to Gibbs' score last week but more a recognition that with the team I have, 5 premium mids is a bit top heavy with a few gaps to fill in the backs and forwards. This and the fact that there is some serious coin to be made in the long run by getting in two more rookies about to rise (I'm also bringing in Kennedy for Callinan).
Gibbs was the unlucky one out of Ablett, Mitchell, Thompson and Selwood. Figure it is a trade, even if I get 3 or 4 price rises from Greene and then trade him to (say) Barlow or someone like that.
Have $681,500 to spend in the next couple of weeks though on a few upgrades!
B: Deledio, Broughton, Lake, Clarke, Golby, Morris, Ellis (Bugg, Hunt)
M: Ablett, Mitchell, Selwood, Thompson, Greene, Magner (Shiel, C.Smith)
R: McEvoy, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
F: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Kennedy, Cripps (D.Smith, Hall)
sold : Broughton & Clifton
Bought: Greene & Mohr
couldnt take the loss from broughton got mohr (should of gone clarke i think)
Clifton ?? well perhaps can get him in when i cash in some of these cows
Unfortunately I'm on the Green train. Hopefully the Eagles take the foot off for the second half so we can rack some more cash-cow points.
I was going to ask a similar question about Magner. Lets say he scores another 50 this week, will people start to look to off load him or do they seriously think he could avg a lot more and make a lot more. Im sure he could make more coin but are you going to be better off trading him out and getting the money.
For me he isnt the new Barlow and thats due to many reasons. I think his avg is more around 75-85 rather then that expected 95-105 range.
I think your pretty much on the money their pillager id give the same order.
Barlow busted out two 100+ scores then a sub 50 in Round 3 in his first season. They are both mature age VFL midfielders that attract the ball. Magner may indeed end up with a s**t average but that's more due to the Melbourne team appearing putrid this year rather than him not being Michael Barlow.
In any event, Barlow's first 13 rounds have set a new gold standard that will be difficult to match.

I went Ledger to Greene. Happy enough with that given the way Ledger is being shafted.
