Vlastuin posted 65 in Richmond's 114-point SCG demolition at the hands of Sydney — 5 points above his 60 BE and a genuinely remarkable individual effort in a match where his entire team managed only 56 total points. That is elite survival scoring: he personally accounted for more SuperCoach points than Richmond's team score. The sell verdicts from R5-R8 have fully played out — the price has settled at $410.8k after the collapse from $482k, and cash gen at -$3,100/round still points downward but the bleed has slowed from the -$7k/week peak. For coaches who held through the carnage, this is exactly what you waited for — a proven 258-game defender still clearing his BE despite being in the worst team in the league. Do not buy him in while cash gen is negative, but if you are holding, the exit is no longer urgent. Hold and collect.
