Ginbey posted 61 in a 32-point away loss at Melbourne — above his 52 BE in a tough road context where WCE got thumped. His football remains elite: lockdown one-on-one defence, but SuperCoach returns are modest at 61.3 average. Cash gen is mildly negative at -$1,605/wk, meaning his price drifts very slightly but is not bleeding. Hold — do not manufacture a reason to trade a quality player who clears his BE. The numbers are unexciting but they are positive where it counts.
