Cleary is listed and didn't take the field in R3, meaning there's no cash gen happening yet despite a reasonable 46 BE at $312.2k. The intel is cautiously positive on Bulldogs' backline depth, but until he's named and actually playing, he's burning a bench spot for zero return. Monitor the selection table — avoid until he debuts.
