Retschko delivered 72 as Richmond went down 37 points to Adelaide at the MCG — the team got thumped but he held his own on the wing. Averaging 72 against a 33 BE, the cash gen is still cranking at $5,300 per round as his price climbs from the $119.9k basement. The exit point is approaching — he will price out within a few rounds. Hold and set your sell target; the cash gen machine is still running but time the trade to maximise return.
