✕ AVOID

Sid Draper is injured and didn't play in R3, sitting at $126.1k with no average and a 19 breakeven — zero cash generation while he's sidelined. The intel flagged him as cash cow territory if he earns a senior berth, but injured rookies collecting dust are a wasted bench slot at 8.4% ownership. Avoid until there's a confirmed return date and a clear path into Adelaide's midfield.

Breakout Signal· T4

Strong SANFL 2H form — high-flying marks, explosive stoppage bursts, played HF effectively. Community reads him as imminent AFL debutant, possibly R8 showdown. Important that he showed forward-half utility since he won't get heavy CBA initially.
