Blakiston managed only 29 in a 43-point Essendon blowout loss to Fremantle at the MCG — miles below his 34 BE and further evidence the cash cow is done. This is game 19; he crosses the 20-game line next week and becomes dead weight on your bench permanently. Cash gen has been negative for weeks at -$3,167/wk. Sell this week — it is now or never. Every round you hold after this is a trade wasted on a player with no ceiling and no cash left to generate.
