Meek posted 67 in a 15-point away loss to Fremantle at Perth Stadium — above his 55 BE for the first time in several weeks. That sounds encouraging until you see cash gen at -$7,337 per round: the price continues to slide from $550k to $374.4k and has not bottomed. Barely clearing your BE in an away loss against a good team is not a recovery. The sell verdict has been right all season and nothing changes here — move him on before the next price drop.
