◉ WATCH

Sharp managed 52 in a 14-point away loss to GWS at Sydney Showground — serviceable output for a 2-game rookie doing a job in a losing side. Cash gen is positive at $1,745/wk and the midfield role has been genuine. But he's now out Round 10 injured, and with only 2 games behind him there's no established floor to trust. Trade if you need the spot; otherwise hold if your bench has coverage and the price upside still matters.
