Nash delivered 93 in a 15-point away loss to Fremantle at Perth Stadium — 19 disposals, 15 contested possessions, 6 clearances in a legitimate physical arm-wrestle, making this a quality performance. The problem: he's in concussion protocol and confirmed out Round 10. If you need the spot or can upgrade, do it now — a donut next week hurts. Hold through the week only if your bench can cover; otherwise trade.
