◉ WATCH

Cottrell clipped 49 in a 39-point home belting by St Kilda — 4 below his 53 BE in the context of Carlton being completely outclassed. Two games back from injury and both scores are near-BE, which is the floor read; that same context means the price isn't moving. At $358.8k with zero cash gen and no role certainty, there's nothing here worth buying. Hold if you have him and watch — one more game in a competitive match is the minimum before reassessing.
