Bedford scored 55 in a 14-point home win over Essendon — clears his 41 BE but that is the ceiling on the praise. Five consecutive below-average games now (85, 59, 25, 64, 55) and the pattern is entrenched. Cash gen is -$2,295 per week and his price has bled from $327k to $281k. A 55 in a home win you should dominate is not a hold argument. Trade him out this week — the decline is real and it only gets more expensive to exit.
