Cunningham scraped 49 in R10 — 4 above his 45 BE but the lowest score of a forgettable season. At $306.8k with cash gen flat at -$338/wk, there is no price recovery to chase. His job security remains clouded by Cootee's presence and the Swans have shown they're happy to omit him. If you traded out on the R7 sell, stay out. If you still hold, move on — he's costing you a roster spot.

Role Change· T3
Harry Cunningham (Cunners) was omitted from the Sydney Swans team in a surprise selection decision. Multiple commenters called it stiff given his veteran status, suggesting he was rested rather than dropped on form, though some noted he had only 11 touches and 93m gained the previous week. Billy Cootee was retained ahead of him.
