I like Plowman, and I reckon he's had a better season than Marchbank. Personally, I would not trade him.

Paul...Dont think either will be traded and are a big part of the future....this is the problem you get due to poor list management. The 10-12 players we want to get rid off are
next to worthless and people start looking at trading decent future  core players like Plowman, Marchbank because the others are only delist material.
Sometimes you have to resist the temptation to trade quality, its like the sharemarket, mug traders feel they have to trade stocks all the time to feel like they are doing something but usually trade the wrong ones and keep losing money..
Recruiting/List management is the same, clubs like Hawthorn use the Warren Buffett analogy when they trade.....they want a dollars value for 50 cents, they just concentrated on value trading, getting something better for less..ie offloading players like Croad and Hay for Round 1 picks...ie Croad and McPharlin got them Hodge and Mitchell....
Nathan Lonie and pick 54 for Port Adelaides 1st rounder  Pick 14..yep read and weep that we could do a deal that got us Pick 14 for say Nick Graham and Pick 54.....thats the difference and why Hawthorn dominated an era.. and this is how we have to trade..
