After that stunning 108 in R7 gave the green light, Reidy followed up with a 25 in a 39-point Carlton loss to St Kilda — a brutal reversal that calls the buy verdict into serious question. The R7 score looks like an outlier. Hold if you traded him in off R7, but the cash cow window is on a knife's edge. Watch and see if he is retained for R9 — if dropped, trade immediately.
