Powell managed 63 against Geelong — just below his 67 BE — in a 49-point hammering that confirmed nothing has changed. He's carrying what looks like a groin or pubis issue and barely touched it in the game with 8 disposals. Community is calling for the drop and there are whispers he's been listed as injured for R9. Price has fallen from $446k to $343k this season. Sell immediately — every week you delay is more blood in the water.
