Richards managed only 62 in a 12-point away loss to Carlton at Docklands — 14 below his 76 BE and his lowest score since his R3 omission. He's hobbling around out there, clearly carrying something through the body, and the 62 confirms the physical complaint is affecting his game. After back-to-back 117s in R8-R9, this is a cliff edge. At $519.9k with cash gen already bleeding -$3,296/wk before this result, the price slide accelerates. Sell this week — do not wait for an injury confirmation that costs you another $15k.
