Rowbottom managed just 46 in a Sydney win — 8-point victory over North Melbourne, a genuine contest, no blowout excuse. Nine disposals, 0 goals, 1 mark. Three rounds of sub-50 scoring when his average is 76, and cash gen is haemorrhaging at -$4,258/round. His price has collapsed from $441k to $339k and the bleeding continues. Sell immediately — there is no recovery thesis at this price trajectory, and Sydney winning barely masked how poor this output was.
