Pearce posted 19 in a 124-point Fremantle demolition of North Melbourne — his team won by a season-record margin and he still couldn't crack his 46 BE. This is the sixth time he's been below or barely at breakeven in a game his side wins comfortably. Cash gen bleeding at -$2,112/wk and the price has collapsed from $367k to $245.8k since Round 1. The sell verdict has been live since R6 and nothing here changes it. Sell immediately — every week you hold is more value incinerated.
