Davidson scored 47 in a home loss to Fremantle — technically 2 points above his 45 BE but this is not a reversal of form. The R7 sell verdict still stands: cash gen is flat, the role is shaky, and he's averaging 54 at $305.1k in a Bulldogs team that can't protect him from the axe. Trade him out and redeploy into something that's actually generating cash.
