Sidebottom posted 47 away in Geelong's 54-point demolition of Collingwood — 2 below his 49 BE in a team that was demolished. The price is bleeding at -$7,288/week and has slid from $506k at R1 to $331.5k now. Three of his last four scores have been below or barely at BE. The retirement-year ceiling is real and there is no catalyst in sight. Sell now — the price drop continues and there is nothing to suggest a meaningful recovery.
