◉ WATCH

McStay posted 78 in R10, 37 above his 41 BE — his best output in weeks and a genuine sign the floor has been found after bleeding price from $349k to $279.6k. Cash gen is still negative on the rolling average but R10 momentum is encouraging. The sell calls from R6-R9 played out perfectly. Hold and watch one more round — if he backs this up, the value case below his 41 BE is real. Do not buy back in yet.

Community Intel· T3

Daniel McStay had a very quiet first half vs Essendon R7 with minimal stats (1 kick, 1 handball, 0 marks at half time) and multiple commenters questioning his place in the side. He improved slightly later but community sentiment is negative about his output.
