Frampton scored 46 in a 54-point Collingwood flogging at Kardinia Park — below his 48 BE by 2, but this is a context-explained soft week, not a form collapse. In a blowout loss the defensive line is under siege the whole game; keeping it to 2 below BE in those conditions is respectable. The All-Australian form, elite 1-percenter output, and career-best season are intact. One bad week in a thumping. Hold with conviction.
