✕ AVOID

Darcy scored 31 in a 75-point blowout loss to Geelong then ruptured his left ACL — confirmed season-ending by multiple high-confidence community sources (conf=10). At 9.9% ownership this is the most urgent trade-out of the round. Don't hesitate: use emergency trade if needed. Malcolm Rosas flagged as a replacement cash cow option.
