    The one I'm tempted to cull this week is Magner. Has had role change and is now tagging players and his scoring has dropped dramatically. Do people think he can go back to 90+ or is the 60-70 ave bout his max now? Think at current ave he only has $30K left in him, is it worth downgrading him to Treloar this week and pocket the 100K or whatever it is?

    Would allow me to upgrade to Pendles next week so going to have to cull someone then anyway & doesn't really look like much is on offer next week in terms of rookies on bubble.

    Not sure if Magner's role has changed, could be wrong though. He was given the job on Boyd on the weekend to see how the gun midfielders work at stoppages and what there running patterns are like(No doubt Neeld wanted to give him a learning experience on one of the best). He was still able to dish out a 60 odd from only 15 or so disposals which is well down on what he got during the NAB Cup and first two rounds of the year(Was getting between 25-35). He scored only 60 odd against Richmond too from memory(Rd3). Did he do a tagging job against the Tigers? I was told that he got tagged? Which could be the reason behind why he went to Boyd on the weekend, to learn how to cope with it

    Miles will be on the bubble next week SKT. Take Magner's price rise this week, see what role he plays, then downgrade him or someone else to Miles next week and get Pendles then.

    Too early to move Magner on. At least one more price rise, depending on how he goes this weekend.

    Correct turbo. Look at downgrade options.

    Magner and co will all head to about the 300k range then need to be slaughtered in succession

    Keeping an eye on the bye rounds while doing the downgrades isn't the worst move either.

    I like the Magner > Miles option

    Ideally I'd like another week out of him, but Miles is going to make more &#36;&#36; from here on in than Magner, so time to give him the chop and move on.

    @STK, I like the "keep Magner"idea for this week. He has a BE of 13(SC)so should better that whether tagged or doing the tagging IMO and therefore another price rise. Pendles had a BE of 191 b4 yesterday and only scored 134 I think, so his price will drop.Check again next week and move accordingly.

    However I do think that Magner on the bench is certainly a reasonable option this week.

    Does Miles really have that good a job security? Dont think any of the guys likely to be on bubble next week do, or are massive sub candidates.

    Too early to move any of the cash cows to be honest, they mostly have at least one if not more price rises to attain.

    I'm not worried about having too many GWS players as they are there to moo, not stay on the team the whole season.

    @SKT - he looked good when he came on and has raps - prob as good JS as anyone else given Sheedy's rotation policy. Obviously needs to be selected tonight.

    @jibba - have a look at BEs and ticker come next week. The downgrade to Miles might be Magner, might be Shiel, might be someone else depending on the events of this weekend...

    Got shiels and miles already.

    Don;t think I'll chop Magner. Got at least one more decent price rise in him.

    What's the thoughts on Milera, Greene or Kennedy to Treloar this week? Their breakeven's are all in the + and Treloar is on the bubble. Could net some early cash and take it to the bank when a couple of the others rise over the next couple of weeks.
