If he goes 85 av up until their bye he'll only make another ~ $60k, that's over 5 rounds. 85 is probably the top end of his projection, even given his awesome role and the probability he does have a spike game in him with that draw. His possession getting has really tapered off in recent weeks.
The FWD stocks are very thin but he's obviously not a keeper - an optimistic $60k over 5 rounds isn't a slow burn, its a barely burning smoky smoulder, especially when you consider Poulter could make that just this week.

To be fair, I don't think anyone's holding Warner expecting him to be a keeper - he's just scoring reliably better than all the other FWD rookies. Even at 70 he's losing what, 25 to a keeper? That compares favourably with Powell even if he continues to go 80-90.
Mind you I'm personally happy enough with Bergman and Scott's recent form that I'm probably happy to take the cash and upgrade. Just a question of where. Been giving serious thought to Libba but R13 is a huge mess for me already and I don't want to make it worse. Probably stick to the original plan and go to J Cameron.

What are you achieving with these trades?
Are you generating cash for your next upgrade? Are you gaining points from the upgrade?
Sideways trades are incredibly wasteful at this time of the year, you're effectively setting yourself back an entire week on an upgrade to get two guys whose job security is at best "currently better" than the guys you're trading, from the same teams. Bad game from Poulter and it could easily be Poulter out Macrae in next week.
Have to think you've got guys that are nearly peaked that would make more sense or something else that can be done?
Really the only reason I'd be looking that way right now is if you avoid donuts this round by doing it.
I reckon it has as much to do with Ridley being glued to Greene for most of the game, was a pretty strong shut down role he copped and makes sense, Greene is that super unique matchup that really only Ridley fits, he's too smart for the Laverde/Francis combo, too "big" for Hind/Redman and too quick for Heppell. There's maybe one or two other guys in the league where that's the case.
Though worth watching, Redman did a pretty good job but Ridley will generally still be the loose man instead of the lockdown guy and is a class above most defenders. Great value for those who didn't start him right now.

So pondering these trades for Rd 9
Chapman to RCD or Byrnes via Sharp
Gulden to Jelly or Hall
Current Mids Macrae Guthrie Walsh Fyfe Titchell Powell Jordon Gulden
Current Fwds Ziebell Zorko Daniher Heeney Scott Poulter
The questions.
Is RCD a better option than Byrne? And is Hall a better option than Jelly given the fwd line carnage? $198k cash pre trades
Looking at Jelly and Hall because they fit the current Rd 12 bye set up for my team best.
