Simpkin posted 71 in a 68-point demolition at Adelaide Oval — North were gone by half-time and the score is inflated by garbage-time disposals. Four rounds of watching and hoping haven't changed the underlying trend: price eroding at -$3,619/wk, scoring well below his 95.7 nominal average, and the team context making numbers unreliable. The "one more week" call has expired. Sell now while he's still above $390k.
