JVR managed just 32 in Melbourne's 39-point MCG win over Hawthorn — that's his team winning comfortably and he still couldn't crack his 47 BE. The 112 last week was the peak of a familiar JVR wave; the 32 is the trough. R5: 32, R6: 87, R7: 61, R8: 48, R9: 112, R10: 32 — the inconsistency is baked in. Cash gen is flat at -$771/wk from $320k. Sell him. There are better mid-pricers who don't require you to ride a rollercoaster.
