Read managed just 11 in a 29-point home win over St Kilda at Marrara Oval — Gold Coast won comfortably and he still couldn't score. There's no match-context excuse here: his team won by 29 at home and he got 11. His last four scores read 75, 38, 45, 11 — the downward slide is unmistakable and the hybrid ruck role that looked promising in R6 is either not working or he's been moved out of it. Cash gen is -$991/wk negative, avg is down to 34.5 below his 34 BE. Sell him this week before the price drops further.
