Darling managed just 46 in North's 68-point humiliation at Adelaide Oval — below his 48 BE in the worst possible conditions. The R9 sell call was correct and the case hasn't weakened. Cash gen is effectively flat at $224 per round, average has drifted to 59.5, and North have no wins on the board. Trade him out this week — there is no upside left in chasing a veteran FWD who cannot score in losses.
