Bowes returned 77 in Geelong's 54-point blowout over Collingwood — context matters, with Geelong minutes managed deep into garbage time. That is an improvement on his 50 last week but still a suppressed score in the easiest possible conditions. The trend since his debut 90 reads 62, 55, 50, 77 — only the debut was genuinely impressive. At $326.7k with flat cash gen, patience is exhausted. Hold for one more week only — another score below 65 and trade without hesitation.
