ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
— HOLD

Retschko scored exactly his 43 BE in R12 — the cash gen machine is sputtering. After a stellar run from $119.9k, he is now at $293.3k and the community is calling the boat sailed. At $7,539/wk cash gen he is still technically generating but a score equal to BE is the warning sign. Hold if you own him but set your sell target for this week or next — the window is closing fast and there are better places for the coin.

Breakout Signal· T3

Patrick Retschko posted 27 disposals at 82% efficiency in the Richmond win over Essendon. Community praise very high - described as the nom for best on ground, and comments note it would be difficult for Ralphsmith to regain his spot with Retschko playing at this level. A steal of a pick for Richmond.
