Laurie scored 43 in Melbourne's 49-point demolition by GWS at Traeger Park — above his 36 BE, but this is garbage-time territory in a game that was over by half-time. Cash gen is still positive at +$5,461/wk and price has nudged to $245.5k, but that run is done. At 19 games the price has likely peaked, the scoring floor is fragile at 53.3 avg, and the team is in freefall form. Trade him out this week — lock in $245k before selection pressure ends the run entirely.

Bailey Laurie had a mixed but ultimately improving game in R7 vs Richmond - poor first half, solid second half. Multiple commenters cautiously optimistic he can build confidence with a run of games. Goodwin clearly rates him based on selection.

Community Intel· T3

Community is firmly against Bailey Laurie being selected for R6. Multiple comments saying he looks lost at AFL level, was not named among best players in VFL practice game, and has not improved since getting his chances.

u/KindPlans (score 10), u/brandonjslippingaway (score 3), r/melbournefc
Community Intel· T3

Bailey Laurie has not impressed at AFL level — community noting he has not set the world on fire and had poor disposal efficiency (handing to teammates ankles). Comparisons to Jake Bowey highlight a massive composure gap. Community largely wants him dropped.

u/autocol (score 16), u/brandonjslippingaway (score 3), r/melbournefc
Community Intel· T3

Bailey Laurie recalled late to R4 squad for Fritsch but community consensus strongly negative. Described as possibly last AFL chance, with commenters preferring Kentfield or Rivers. Mixed execution in the Kings system.
