Pearce managed 37 against Hawthorn — below his 40 BE again — and is now confirmed out for R10. The sell has been live since R6 and this cements it. Eight rounds of data: one 99 outlier surrounded by a wall of sub-50 scores, and a price that has bled from $367k to $270.8k with cash gen at -$4,825/wk. Sell immediately — he is not named for next week and every week you hold is more value destroyed.
