◉ WATCH

Duggan posted 98 in a 32-point away loss to Melbourne — that is his best score of the season and the first genuine form reversal signal after six rounds of decline. This is not garbage time; Melbourne are top-four, Docklands is their home, and a 98 in a competitive loss matters. Cash gen is still negative at -$3,415 and the price has bled from $431k to $362.8k, so the structural damage is real. If you bailed after R7-R8, watch one more week before jumping back — but if you held, hold with renewed conviction.
