Sidebottom managed 55 in Collingwood's tight 4-point loss to the Bulldogs at Docklands — 11 points above his 44 BE, his first above-BE score since the R7 bounce (75) that was immediately followed by back-to-back sub-BE rounds. At 358 games and $296.4k — down from $506k at R1 — the price has essentially hit floor. The retirement-year narrative is well-established and cash gen is still bleeding at -$7,777/rd, but at this price point the downside is close to exhausted. Clearing BE by 11 in a competitive game is the first positive sign in weeks. Hold — the floor-price argument has merit; there is no more selling pressure left, and the 55 shows he can still contribute serviceable mid-range scores at basement cost.
