Jiath scored 65 in Melbourne's 39-point blowout of Hawthorn at the MCG — comfortable home win, easy garbage time for defenders. His two genuine competitive-game scores this season (49 and 50) are what define his ceiling, not this. Price has fallen from $358k to $294k, cash gen is bleeding at -$3,024/wk, and the Bowey competition at Melbourne has not gone away. Sell — the two previous sell verdicts were right, and this 65 is the same pattern as the R9 74: a blowout bounce that gives you one more window to exit at a reasonable price. Use it.
