Kolodjashnij scraped 37 in a 54-point Geelong blowout over Collingwood at the MCG — you'd expect a floor of 45-50 in that kind of mauling, and he couldn't manage it. His four-game scoring line is 29, 68, 49, 37: wildly inconsistent for a veteran defender in a dominant team. Cash gen is negligible at $565/wk. At $236.8k he's not losing money fast but he's not generating it either. Fade — the buy case that's been building for weeks hasn't arrived and the form says it won't.
