McKay posted 23 in a 64-point home belting by Brisbane — but the score is irrelevant, because he has been dropped for R9. The form slump has been building for weeks: confidence shot, struggling in body-on-body contests, crowd pressure compounding the slide. He plays better with Ridley alongside him and that structure has not been there. Trade him out now. He may return but you cannot hold a $238.6k defender who is not in the team.
