Berry posts 73 in a 37-point blowout loss to Richmond at the MCG — barely scraping over his 72 BE in a game Adelaide were getting smashed. After last week's 171 Showdown Medal, this reads as a context-driven dud rather than a form collapse, but the calf durability flag hasn't gone away. Cash gen at $5,335/wk is positive. Hold — one garbage-time 73 after a 171 doesn't change the premium thesis, but monitor R10 selection; any calf management and the sell case re-emerges fast.
