Fred Rodriguez didn't take the field in R3 and is confirmed injured, making him a dead asset at $99.1k regardless of that tempting 15 BE. West Coast's forward mix is already murky and an injured rookie with no AFL average is the last thing your bench needs. Hard avoid until a return date is confirmed.
