May scored 28 in Essendon's 43-point home massacre by Fremantle — the same game his teammate Day Wicks scored 65, which makes the 28 worse, not better. After the R9 buy reversal, this is a sharp step backward: below his 36.3 average, below his 34 BE, and cash gen slipping negative. At $232.5k the entry price is now working against you. Watch — one more week of this and the exit becomes obvious.
