Bramble bounced back with 70 in a tight 12-point Carlton loss at Docklands — well above his 44 BE and legitimate output in a competitive game. That is a complete reversal from R9 is shocking 27 in the 2-point win, which had no excuse. At $301k with negative cash gen at -$2,284/wk, he is a veteran mid-pricer with a history of blowups — not someone you build around. One bounce does not overturn the avoid read. Watch one more week; back-to-back BE-clearing scores in real contests would earn a hold, but do not re-enter yet.
