Ralphsmith managed just 47 in Richmond's 54-point loss to Melbourne at the MCG — 4 above his 43 BE but well below any premium expectation. His season average sits at 34 against a $294.1k price with -$3,806/week cash gen; the price is still too high for what he delivers. After a brief 56 in R6 raised faint hope, this performance confirms the avoid remains warranted — he's a cash drain in a losing side.

Hugo Ralphsmith's spot at Richmond is under pressure with Patrick Retschko's strong form. Comment score 15 notes "difficult to see Ralphsmith fitting back into the side with Retschko playing like this." Selection squeeze evident.
