Melksham crashed to just 9 in Round 5 — a catastrophic return at $341.8k with a 50-point BE. His 44.5 average is now tracking below breakeven with zero cash generation, and at this premium FWD price he is actively destroying squad value. Sell immediately and redirect the cash before further price erosion locks you in.
