Close scraped 45 past his 39 BE in a 41-point Geelong blowout win over Brisbane — but BE-clearing in rubbish time doesn't change anything. Negative cash gen at -$2,708/wk, 130-game player with no consistent role in a stacked Geelong forward line, and a sell verdict that's been right for three rounds. This is the fifth week of sell signals. Trade him out.
