ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
▼ SELL

Farrow scored 72 in Essendon's 43-point thumping by Fremantle — above his 43 BE and his best score since the R8 decline accelerated. Brad Scott has him flagged as core to the rebuild, which adds job security weight. But the cash has been made: $163k to $295.6k, and the community is unanimous that drop risk is the next shoe to fall. Sell this week. The 72 doesn't change the arc — 90, 102, 61, 68, 53, 48, now 72 — it's noise around a downtrend. Bank the cash while he's still priced above his output.
