Caldwell returned with 92 in Essendon's 43-point home loss to Fremantle — recalled because Sharp went down injured, not by form. The 92 is genuine (20 disposals, contested contributions), but his place in the side is contingent on Sharp's timeline, not his own performances. Cash gen is still bleeding at -$5,909/wk. Watch one week — if Sharp is confirmed back, Caldwell is straight back to the VFL and any hold becomes a sell.
