88 in Sydney's 114-point demolition of Richmond at the SCG — Richmond scored 56, the game was over at half-time, and Melican's 88 is heavily garbage-time inflated. Yes, it clears his 50 BE and cash gen is now positive at +$1,274/round, but this is the same McCartin injury cover situation it has been all season. When McCartin returns, Melican's selection case evaporates. Hold for now while the role holds, but have the exit plan ready.
