72 in a 39-point loss at the MCG where Hawthorn were completely outworked — barely above his 55 BE and cash gen still negative at -$3,096/wk. The R8 floor bounce looked encouraging but this shows the form problems haven't resolved. If you're still holding at $373k you've already eaten the loss from $450k — don't sell now at the floor, but don't bring him in fresh either. Hold and accept the sunk cost.
