Houston posted 75 in R10, barely clearing his 72 BE, while multiple commentators flagged soft body contests costing Collingwood goals and describing his effort as poor. At $489k that is not premium defender performance — it is a below-par contested showing in a game his team clearly needed more from him. Sell on the marginal BE-clearing score before the narrative hardens and the price slides.
