✕ AVOID

Reid managed just 34 in a 56-point home thrashing by Fremantle — garbage time output below his 36 BE in a game West Coast never competed in. More critically, community reports knee soreness with no Round 7 return timeline. Previously flagged as sell; this is now an outright avoid. Do not hold a price-declining, injured player on a struggling WCE side.

Community Intel· T3

Archer Reid flagged as disappointing in R6 and R7 WCE discussions. Not providing enough at ruck craft or as a forward option. Community suggests Cooper Duff Tytler (CDT) was more impactful. Considered for WAFL demotion.
