McKercher scraped 67 in a 68-point Adelaide blowout at Adelaide Oval — clears his 61 BE but this is another suspect garbage-time score in a shellacking. Price is still falling at -$1,729/wk, and the three-week pattern of soft scores in heavy losses is concerning. The R9 watch was a pause, not a reversal. Sell before the mid-pricer bust fully plays out — exit while the price hasn't collapsed further.
