McCarthy scored 18 in Brisbane's 11-point home win over Carlton — a disaster number that requires context: he carried a groin injury and was effectively a passenger in the second half. The form otherwise had been solid (87, 45, 69 run) but the injury is the story now. At $288.4k with 154 games there is no cash gen ceiling left, and a groin injury going into R10 makes him a genuine trade target. Sell if you can get a replacement — do not hold an injured veteran through an uncertain recovery.
